Eetnme—— The strategy of war bulletin editors easily sutshines the strategy of field marshals. It's all right, Mr. Weather Man! You may now cut all the funny capers you care to. Omaha’s week of royal fenivi.tin matched the glories of autumn days. Both spelled perfection, Special to Ak-Sar-Ben governors: Let's call the demoralizing street fair part of it off for good and hold onto only what is worth while. ' The tumult and the shouting are past. Now for business and politics, and then also for a steady pull for adequate depot 'facilities. : S —— Not the least of the horrors of war is the cheery eagerness shown by one combatant in re- porting the “appalling losses” of the enemy. i’ ¢ t— The growing output 6.lwdeereel in Mexico - gives promise of surpassing the “Strict accounta- bility” notes of the American State department. ~ Even though prospects are not encouraging, peace reports will persist. A natural human de- sire must find expression in one form or another. \ e—— All agree that Omaha did itself proud in every feature of the week's festivities. There is glory ~enough for all and a large margin to cover the i —— ‘Death is the decreed. penalty for banditry in Mexico. The penalty fairly fits the crime, but its efficacy depends on catching material to work “on. There is where General Manana puts in the veto, The harmony chorus in Pennsylvania is led by Senator Penrose and William Flinn. With two such powerful voices merged in a volume of sweet sounds, the republican majority should crowd the ' capacity of the ballot boxes. ——— One of the two bishops of the\chmhu of England, now visiting this country, says: “We dream of a commonwealth of mations, insuring peace on earth and protecting small nations.” charming dream, very like the dreams Britons circulated in Ireland for decades past. | omm— ~ That last destructive packing house fire, by its - rareness, prompts the question again: When are ~ the underwriters going to give us the benefit of our improvements in water service and fire equip- ment by removing the rating penalties against Omaha and reducing our insurance charges? | — Nature's chemistry of colors far surpass the best efforts of masters of the palette. In like _proportion the living, moving human picture, dressed for the occasion, overtops the master- ~ pieces of still life. The rare charm of the corona- . tion ball lies in staging animation with appro- prh‘u scenery, — A few weeks ago, when property transfers required federal stamps, the owners imparted valuable information to the tax office. Now, with the deeds stampless the owhers emulate the clam and smother their knowledge in “$1 and other valuable consideration.” The importance ;‘ the stamp as a moral agent is appreciated too - late. s Confidence in the superior uplift of Kansas life receives a rude shock by the report of the State - Board of Corrections. A social and moral mil- lenium claimed to be regular fixtures of the dry ‘belt appears to have missed connection down there, The crop of crime is just as abundant and the penitentiary as crowded as in states less disposed to boast of civic righteousness. S—— Cutting Out “Obedience.” The proposed amendment to the marriage ceremony that will omit the word “obey” from the vows imposed upon the wife, may suit the notions of some. The word in itself is not vital to the success of a matrimonial venture, but its spirit is essential, not only in marriage, but all “th life. * Even in a democracy some must lead while others follow. This does not imply “any inequality in general social relations, but sim- “ply a recognition of the inescapable fact that re- sponsibility must center somewhere. The man who is better qualified for leadership is also bet- a ‘mw to follow. To be able to give and en- j s orders, one must also be able to take and [ This lesson is exacted, even from _The whole created universe moves in to one will, and every successful un- ‘man's endeavor is carried out along lined, co-ordinated obedience. The may be stricken from the marriage obedience can not be lost, or the will be disrupted. A Message of Pride. The magnificent moving picture of western progress staged on the streets of Omaha in honor of the semi-centennial of Nebraska's statehood carried a message of pride to hearts that revere the deeds of pioneers. Not in the prehistoric floats, the legions of Coronado, nor in the figures of trappers and fur traders, was the message glimpsed, nor yet in the gorgeous colors of state- hood's fruition. It threaded through and linked up the’ primitive tools and vehicles with which pioneer settlers trekked over prairies, deserts and mountains, uncovered the treasure houses of gold and silver, and transformed the wilderness into fruitful fields. The prairie schooners and the patient plodding ox teams are as a mirage of long ago, almost un- real to people of an automobile age. Yet they carried both power and sustenance, combined the pull and the meat, and enabled the pioneer to reach his destination, While lacking the speed of the horse and the mule, the ox team was well within the average resources of the home and fortune seekers, and thus became linked with the forces which implanted civilization in the west. These typical instrumentalities of western set- tlement merely glimpse the courage and fortitude of the men and women who employed them in their quest for material betterment. The hard- ships of primitive shelters, the struggle to wring from virgin soil uncertain crops, the lonely vigils in a hostile country, and the great distances which too often prevented neighborly co-operation—all these and more united in testing the strength, confidence and determination of the empire mak- ers. Their dauntless courage and sublime faith in the future shone forth with equal luster in the trek of Mormon converts behind pushcarts from the Missouri river to Salt Lake. There were heroes and heroines in the pioneer days. They were cast in large molds—large of heart, of generosity and of cheerfulness amid pri- vations, Too many, unfortunately, filled name- less graves, succumbing to the rigors of climate and primitive habitation, but those who overcame the hardships of the early days and lived to enjoy the fruition of their struggles deserved the crown and tribute of work nobly done. Their successors, fully appreciating what the pioneers achieved, will long cherish the splendid tribute to their memory pictured in the Historical parade, In the World's Series. Just now business, politics, the war, and about everything else that makes up the daily program of the busy United States, is presently pushed aside for the time, while we settle the momentous \question of which base ball team is the better. Leaders of the “big” leagues are matched in friendly strife to determine the point, and when the right moment has arrived, one will emerge with the glory of being hailed champions of the world, and may possess the title for a twelve- month. Baseballitis is essentially an American disease; our brothers and cousins acfoss the sca in either direction can not understand the malady, but none of them resides long in this land with- out being bitten by the bug, and once infected, the ailment runs its course with them as with the natives, and it is life-long in its effect. This is because base ball is a real national game; it holds the interest of young and old, from the toddler to the totterer, and all ranks and ages unite in doing honor to the king who hits them far and wide, to the beautifully muscled arm that hurls the ball in cunning curves to Raffle batters, the swift-footed lad whose nimble wits and flying heels are pitted against the watch- ful guardians of the bases, and to all the athletes who excel at the sport, The world series means the apotheosis for the time of the ball player, because he is a representative of a clean, vigorous sport, in which only the mentally and bodily alert may shine, but in which even the dullest has a part. And may the better team win. S —— Von Bethntann-Holweg Firmly Seated. A dispatch which diagnosed the, crisis in the German Reichstag as symptamatic rather than serious is justified by the event. The chancellor has come out of the affair with a seat apparently firmer than ever.' A farmer himself, his official course has been rather a surprise to those who expected him to espouse the Junker faction. From the beginning of his career ad chancellor of the empire he has shown a firmness and independence no faction could shake or turn, and in the present instance appears to be more than ever the leader of German politics as well as policies, It is stated that exceptions were taken to the tone of his recent address to the Reichstag, ih which he de- clared the full purpose of Germany to continue the war until a decisive result is achieved. The Junkers hailed this as an opportune time to in- sist on renewal of the submarine warfare along original lines, Against this Von Bethmann-Hol- weg interposed his opposition, and after a cabinet session of importance, he is reported to have car- ried his point. The sincere desire of Germany to avoid further complications with America is thus given emphasis. That a considerable element in Germany is opposed to the chancellor's views has been well understood for many months, but that it is not able to overturn his plans is proof that the majority of Germans do not care to willfully extend the war to include remaining neutrals. e—— “Hands Across the Sea” in Earnest. “Hands across the sea” is given a real inter- pretation, according to news from New York. One hundred millions of dollars of banking funds have been sent to London to go to work. On Wall street money is cheap, call loans going at 2 per:cent, which the bankers say is lower wages than a self-respecting dollar should be expected to accept. In London, just at present, the rate is much higher, and therefore the migration. This is a very natural procedure, entirely in accord with the law of supply and demand, and may be the means of aiding in establishing the equilib- rium that is to restore something of stability to prices on this side. It also gives a little further insight as to how our democratic administration has “curbed” Wall street. Under its benign rule domestic enterprise has been checked to a point where the surplus dollars of the country are forced to go abroad to find profitable employment. If any additional argument in favor of a change in government were needed, it is here afforded. S—— Simply because ancient coin makers bungled the job, numismatists flout the beauty of Cleo- patra and mock the subsequent notices of her charms. The knockers lack judgment and critical observation, Had they glimpsed the lady reclin- ing in a royal barge skimming the wavelets of the Nile, made for the occasion and glittering in the white lights of Omaha's electric pageant, it is fairly certain her charms would have sub- merged the critics in a deluge of remorse, -should remember that the acceptance b 'HE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 8, 1916. Vaurs, Rerans By Vietor Rosewater ELL, the President and the First Lady of the Land, with their official entourage, have come and gone, and at the same time the first part of the program for the celebration of Nebraska's semi-centennial of statehood—the art that was assigned specially to Omaha—has Eeen carried out as planned und the approving plaudits of success are universal. It was the polite thing for the president to say that he was leased with his reception and -entertainment, gut I can add, of personal knowledge, that the distinguished guests really and thoroughly en- joyed the Wisit and appreciated the attentions paid them, and that their expressions of satisfac- tion were not merely out of Eoliten:ss. but mani- fested hy word and act all the time from the ar- rival in Omaha to the departure on their return rip. pAll the papers have been full of the incidents of the presidential visit and minute descriptions of appearance and doings, and whatever I might add would be only repetition from a possibly different viewpoint. I was one of a_ half dozen who, by special invitation of the president, sat in the presidential box during the hour-and-a-half review of the historical pageant, and the conver- sation and repartee that passed back and forth almost continuously was decidedly interesting. When the flout representing the glacial period came up, with its Euge papier-mache mammoth protruding in front, Senator Hitchcock remarked: “Look! That must be the G. O. P. elephant!” “Yes,” exclaimed the president, “see, he is all encased in ice and frozen solid.” A moment later came the outrider for Coro- nado, a strapping fellow dressed as a priest as- tride a forlorn-looking diminutive donkey, “Never mind, Mr. President,” I answered, “here comes the democratic donkey,” Mr. Wilson laughed and retorted: “At any rate, he's alive.” Talking to me, the president harked back to the time when we were together at Johns Hop- kins university, I as a student listening to him as a lecturer discoursing on administrative law. I told him that by peculiar coincidence I had after- ward taken a course in administrative law at Columbia university under Prof. Goodnow, who 18 now the new president of Johns Hopkins, and that I had, a year or so ago, been present at the first Founders' day exercises presided over by President Goodnow. Mr. Wilson said: “I have always maintained a deep interest in Johns Hopkins, and I hope President Goodnow's administration will prove successful. In the last few years I have not been able to keep up my university contacts as much as I would like. When we were back there at Hopkins none of us could foresee what careers were in front of us.” Both the president and Mrs, Wilson were in- tensely impressed by the Indians in their gorge- ous native regalia and,in the incident which Mrs. Rosewater related about the difficulty of induc- ing them to come before it was known that the president was to be here. Those in charge o this featuré of the parade met with all sorts of obstacles in their efforts to gét enough Indians to come down from the reservation to make the desired showing, but as soon as they were able to tell them that the reward of their ~oming would be to meet the “Great White Fath(r,® the trouble then was to keep them away. Despite their aboriginal dress, the Indians showed their acquirement of civilized manners.- One hand- some fellow, as he strode past, realizing that, if otherwise costumed, he would take, off his hat as he passed the nation’s chief magistrate, lifted his beautiful feathered war bonnet as he would tip his sombrero, but it brought him a pleased smile. While arrangements for the presidential en- tertainment went off finely, they could, of course, have been improved in many places, Peopi:e the president of the invitation to participate in the semi-centennial exercises was not announced until ten days before, and that the fact that he was to be accampanied by Mrs, Wilson was not made known until three days later, and that all the preparations had to be perfected in this ex- ceedingly shcrt period of time. I know quite a few good people still feel hurt because of a mix- up in the invitation list for the dinner, due wholly, however, to the belated inclusion of the women. At first the wives of the executive committee of 100 and of the Ak-Sar-Ben gov- ernors only were invited, and afterward, when it was found that additional room was available, it was too late to get invitations and replies to out-of-town members of the big committee, al- though Omaha members were permitted to bring their wives, T feel sure that, with this explana- tion, any feeling that may possibly exist will be at least partially assuaged and the mishap for- given, if not forgotten, The dinner to the president and Mrs. Wilson had to be a formal dinner to accord with the proprieties, but the requirements of habiliment were responsible for many of the regrets. Far be it from me to betray confidence, yet the hu- mor of the situation must not be overlooked. One gentleman who occupies a high offigial posi- tion unbosomed himself in his letter to me as follows: . “How on earth am I to appear in full even- ing dress when I do not have any clothes of that sort, and there is no time to make them? In much embarrassment, etc.” Another esteemed friend, who hopes to oc- cupy an official position soon, accompanied his regrets with this explanation: “My reason for nonacceptance, while name- less to the world, must be apparent to one who, like yourself, has knowledge of a country edi- tor's wardrobe.” . I want, however, to assure Brother Mullen, who was so fearful lest hickory-shirted demo- crats alone would be shut out of the privilege of eating at the same table with the president, that the grppurllon of the regrets were about three republicans to one democrat. People and Events Former President Taft is said to have shaken out 100 pounds of unnecessary fat since he quit public office. That famous smile is broader than ever. Great Britain and France have restored the hands of the clocks to the old standard of time reckoning. The advantages derived from the hour-saving plan remain to be checked up. New York's public employment bureau is out of a job. There are not enough applicants for its services to keep the cushions warm, but drawing the salaries affords some little exercise. St. Paul tightens its belt in anticipation of zoing to the mat with the men who have the nal word in the Union depot project. Numer- ous conferences have been held before and agita- tion extended through four years. Hope is now flying high and favorable action seems but a mat- ter of days. The campaign of New York state authorities against the common finctice of weighing in con- tainers of food is making great progress. West- ern packers are said to be the chief offenders, and several convictions have resulted from vio- lating the law requiring the net weight of meat to be marked on each package. That the Brooklyn borough of Greater New York houses its full share of the rising metropoli- tan population is evident b_% the great scarcity of school accommodations. The superintendent of schools reports that there are nearly 1,000 more classes than there are class rooms in the city and that twenty more large school buildings could be fillled now with the excess of children seeking education, -8 e e OMARA_SUNDAY R | TODAY!

As the tourist walked along the quiet country lane sudden wallings broke the peaceful silence. The tourist at once pushed his way through a coppice to see what was wrong,- and found a sturdy country woman mercilessly thrashing a howl- ing youngster. “Here, I say,” he burst out, indig- nantly, as he grasped the belaborer's arms, ‘“you musn't do that!

Louils Globe-Democrat: Some eurrent comment following the beginning of a new scholastic year seems much like an echo of in one particular. Again noted that matriculations itutes show a falling off. red that the ministry of- of inducement to young im en the world is keeping such a pace that that profession canriot offer financial rewards large enough to enable its members to hold a place in the race. How far the average congregation is to be blamed for these conditions, is a question in the case. The world has, indeed, with its multi- plied accessories of living, and its tendency to demand as necessaries of life what were luxuries much less than a generation ago, brought on an era of higher cost of living than ever before in history. And it is much to be feared that In casting about to find ways of economizing, the annual church con- tribution has, th todo many families, been the first thing hit upon, either for reduction or total elimination. Agsin, church polities is, perhaps, not a thing to invite young men of mental and moral attributes into a pulpit. Politics of that sort may also account for the abandonment of the profession by some men who conclude that, if they must play politics, they will play it in a way, and upon a stage, to make its rewards more propor- tionate to the effort it demands.
