What does it mean when the “solid south” is put down as “certain” for Wilson while states like Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri are sched- uled in the “doubtful” column? Why are all the former slnv’c-holding states always checked off in advance as democratic /and the presidential contest waged only in northern and border states? The significance of these questions is force- fully dwelt on by the Chicago Tribune, which points out the fact anew that in the states con- stituting the “solid south” we do not have popu- lar government at all, that elections there are pre-determined to go democratic because of something that happened fifty years ago and the systematic disfranchisement of almost all the voters who might register a dissent. By contrast, a state like Nebraska is “doubt- ful” because its electorate is made up of intelli- gent thinking individuals, exercising their right to consider political issues on their merits and to reach conclusions by their own reasoning. Nebraska is a state which invites educational campaigns, whereas Mississippi or Georgia or Alabama is as impervious to argument as a rhin- oceros hide. Four years ago Mississippi cast 64,319 votes for president, as against 249,481 polled in Nebraska, and yet Mississippi has ten electoral votes to Nebraska's eight. The very fact that the democratic party is responsible for continuance of -a dark-age era in Mississippi and Georgia and Alabama, which is synonymous with autocracy and oljgarchy, ought to be proof con- clusive for voters in Nebraska that democratic u:éndancy in the nation is subversive to free government. 4 In the light of these comparisons, the an- swer to the question, “What is a ‘daubtful’ state?" reaches to the very foundations of our institutions, and shows the danger which men- aces us when the gemocrats are in the saddle. f Professor Muensterberg’s Vision. Professor Hugo Muensterberg, who has given the American public occasion to sit up and' take notice several times in recent years, comes for- ward again with a prediction, pregnant for the world's future if realized. He has this time a vision of an alliance between Germany,” Russia and Japan, a mighty combination of political and econpmic forces, the potentiality of which reaches into sublimity. In anticipation of this, Professor Muensterberg advises England to hasten the con- clusion of an understanding with Germany be- fore the greater combination be consummated. The professof does not disclose the source of his' information, beyond saying he considers it reliable, and on this the public must’rest its con- clusions as to the value of the prediction. Eventse have not always justified the prophetic foresight of the professor, but the combination he suggests as impending is one long considered possible, and of the utmost concern to philosophers and politicians alike. It might be of immense ad- vantage to Germany now, but what of the years to come? ’ ——— y Promoting “Art” in Omaha. Omaha admittedly lacks much from the stand- point of the artist. It is a young community, bursting through the garments of its early days, showing the raw in many places, and utterly lacking in the poise and gentle repose of settled life that comes with §ge and solid respectability. Omaha knows this, not only from an awakening sense of self-consciousness, but also because many acknowledged leaders of the higHer cul- ture have told us so. . They concede we are not entirely without some quality of the-picturesque, but insist our life is yet so crude we can not realize to the utmost our opportunities and re- gponsibilities in and to art. If some of these visiting ministers from the temples of the Muses were not so cocksure of our utter unworthiness, and so equally certain of their own undimmed effulgence, perhaps they might accomplish more in the way of the uplift. Omaha has felt the im- pulse, and is responding, but the response is not hastened when a visiting brother forgets that he came to lecture and remains to scold. Such an one should let himself cool off a little, and learn that gome of Omaha's rude and uncultivated resi- dents have at least strolled through the great halls of the Metropolitan Museum, others have. wandered through the Vatican, have looked in at the Uffiizi gallery, beheld the glories of the Louvre, visited in Berlin and London, and even Petrograd and Tokio, not under the ciceronage of a Cook guide, nor wholly held to the dictation of Baedecker, and here and there may be discov- ered one who really knows a hawk from a hand- saw. In any event, the cause of culture would lose but little were the lecturer to realize that he can better serve those who do him the cour- tesy to pay for hearing him talk by giving them a little information rather than much criticism. Art in Omaha is gaining, but not because of re- cent contributions to the discussion thereof. \: Democrats and the_hdiec. The country has just had another illuminating example of what regard the hosts of the unterri- fied followers of the democratic donkey hold for the gentler sex. A mob of chivalrous Chicagoans attacks and mistreats a band of women because, forsooth, the latter have been sufficiently temer- arious to criticise the president. The sacred presence of the great preserver of peace must not be disturbed by any woman who doesn't agree with him, and who seeks by silence to show. her disapproval of his conduct. These women have been too fresh, anyhow, in asking that they be given some recognition. Doesn't the demo- cratic party permit them to cheer for the man who kept them out of war, and who rushed their sons off to spend a perfectly lovely summer in southern Texas? What more can they want? At any rate, the gallant democrats of Chicago saw to it that their president wasn't heckled by a lot of suffragists. A group of statistics, compiled by the Wall Street: Journal, shows the Union Pacific treasury in an opulent condition. Its strong boxes are overflowing with cash and convertible securities totaling $125,000,000. No doubt the company realizes the perils of hoarded weath, and would lend a willing ear to a suggestion for easing the strain by the passenger station treatment. The situation invites the test. — Prayers for the courts are to be included with prayers for legislatures, congress and other pub- lic officials in the revised Episcopal prayer book. Congress and legislatures usually make provision for prayers during lcssiqns, but the courts grind along day after day in a humble worldy way without invoking divine guidance. Their inclu- sion in public prayers strengthens hope of even- tual salvation. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 22, 1916. By Victor Rosewater C MPAIGNING by auto is pretty strenuous, but I doubt if it is as strenuous as special train campaigning. I went around with the Hughes party on the tour of Nebraska last week, and while it was not the first experience of the kind, jt emphasized the fact that without such an insight no one can have any ndu‘uat_e idea of what special train campaigning really is. For the outsidef the candidate and his wife, who accompanied him, engrossed all attention, but there is a regular staff organization installed in the train which is a bee hive of workers, with no eight-hour day limit, either. With Mr. and Mrs, Hughes traveled not only the attendants necessary to their personal comfort and the household economy of the train, but also a regu- lar office force, secretary, stenographers, publicity agents, train master and secret service men, of course not government secret service men, but men of experience in that sort of work. In ad- dition to this, a large corps of press association and special newspaper correspondents are sticking close to Mr. Hughes and constantly Eoundmg out their copy for the consumption of the respective newspapers which they serve. ) # The stenographic work in connection with the Hughes tour is the best organized that I ‘have ever seen in this connection, everything he says being taken down by relay and transcribed almost simultaneously, so that mimeograph copies are available within a very few minutes after the conclusion of the talk. Out at Hastings, for ex- ample, I remember that a complete stenographic report of the address delivered there was ready for the local newspapers before the train pulled out and here at the Omaha Auditorium, the speech was furnished to the men at the reporters’ table two sheets at a time as it progressed, and they scarcely had to wait at all for the finish. As a campaigner, Mr. Hughes is in a class by himself. He has a distinct personality of his own and never overlooks the dignity of the oc- casion, He realizes that he is aspiring to the highest position within the gift of the nation— the greatest elective office in the world—and that they expect him to appeal to their reason rather than to their risibilities. He uses apt illustra- tions, but never tells a funny story. His language is precise and well chosen, direct and forceful. In all the speeches I heard during two days, the nearest he came to a colloquialism was when he used the phrase “They have another guess com- ing.” He speaks with earnestness and conviction and wholly extemporaneously, except that he has his treatment of different phases of his subject well thought out and doubtless from repetition uses the same words as the natural vehicle for his thought. At the conclusion of each speech he retires to his train apartment to make sure against colds from the perpiration with which he is cov- ered, emerging at once with freshened appearance to wave from the rear platform to the lingering crowd as the train pulls out. Mrs. Hughes also often appears on the platform at this stage and frequently responds to the demand for buttons or souvenir cards, receiving them from her hand making them doubly prized. Her presence in the party gives Mr. Hughes a privacy which he would not otherwise enjoy and keeps people from breaking in on him when he is resting or study- ing. Mrs. Hughes is a good traveler, too, always smiling and never a complaint and always ready and prompt on the dot for each move. ) It is hardly necessary for me to repeat that the crowds out to greet and listen to Mr. Hughes at the different stopping points were uniformly tremendous, though varying in number with the size of the place, and that the people of these different communities did wonders in perfecting their local arrangements and taking care of the visitors when consideration 1s had of their accom- modations and resources for this purpose. In small towns, even more than in large cities, dif- ficulty\is invariably encountered in keeping the roadways open for the visiting party, A clear approach is, maintained at the outset and until r. and Mrs. Hughes with the local escort pass and then everyone in the sidelines seeks to break through and follow, with the consequence, fre- quently, that the remainder of the train party have to literally fight their-way ‘to the platform or stand, and t{le same is true for the return to the train at the conclusion of the speaking. I came in for no little good-natured chaffing over a mishap at York which has been duly ex- ploited in some of the papers. The sum and sub- stance of it is that wgen an inventory of train occupants was had, after departure there, it was found that National Committeeman Howell and myselfl had been left and were among the miss- ing. The party had debarked from the train at the railway crossing nearest the court house uare, where the speaking was to take place. ur autos were a trifle behind, with the result tHat the closing in of the crowd left us on the outskirts and Mr. Howell suggested that for the sake of exercise we walk back to the train. We retraced the route to the drossing, only to find that the cars had gone on to the station, and by the time we reached the station they had gone still farther. The only saving clause was that both of us were left. “Why did you choose such a dry town as York?" was the first question I met with after catching up at Lincoln. “If only one of you had missed out, we would have thought the other put up the job,” ventured an- other member of (Ke party. I admit that I ought to have known better than to separate from the rest of the company, for in political campaigning, as in military cam- paigning, the price of safety is to keep up with the procession at all times, and always in_touch with the base of supplies. People and Events A truly-for-sure fireproof building in New York, equipped with all modern appliances, went up in smoke and flame the other day, and six lives were lost on a floor sixteen feet from the ground. The contents did the business. A drive of the Housemaids' union menaces the domestic peace of Boston. Advance scouts of the union are reconnoitering the suburbs, pro- claiming the coming of the new day when house- work till be limited to ten hours a day with a minimum wage of $7 a week. A Chicago benedict, only three days into lis honeymoon, turned in his week's wage of $20. The loving bride immediately blew it for gay rai- mant and then “beat it."” A policeman found the young husband up a tree, whither he” climbed to escape the madding crowd and commune with his throbbing thoughtd§ of happiness bereft. One of Nevada's divorce judges, His Honor T.-G. Hart, rose above the reputation and busi- ness needs of Reno and gave the divorce colony a hard slam. In denying one application for separation the judge characterized the fair plain- tiff as an adulteress and named the man. The shock almost killed Reno's imported gociety. Johnny McBride, a son of the “ould s0d” one degree removed, blew into the New York fair for the benefit of victims of the Dublin rebellion. His heart grieved for the cause and his lips fashioned his feelings into words. His touching eloquence enthralled the crowd in a booth and cancealed his touch of the treasury for $30. When haled into the night court he had $24 of the touch left. &\'o\v comes A, L. Price, statistician of the University of California, with a mass of data proving how absurd is the assertion that college women grab the swatter when Dan Cupid in- vades their quarters, Nothing doing? Guess again, Mr. Price shows that 58.6 per cent of the girl graduates of the university are married, and two-thirds of them did not bother about college men for husbands. Thought Nugget for the Day. The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none. —Thomas Carlyle. One Year Ago Today in the War. King George appealed to men of all classes to enlist. Bulgarians occupied Uskub and iso- lated Serbian army in the north. Germans made violent but unsuc- cessful assaults on the lines east of Rheims. Russlans assumed offensive south- east of Baronowitschl, captured four German positions and took 3,600 pris- oners. Allies threatened Greece with re- prisals unless it gave assurance that in any case it would not side with the central powers, In Omaha Thirty Years Ago.

Mrs. Bean, formerly a resident of this city, has arrived from California, where she has spent the last year, and is the guest of Mrs. Bauserman on Dodge.

Miss Ida Porter of Bloomington, Ill, has been engaged to sing in the choir of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dexter L. Thomas has laid out an addition to the city of Omaha named “‘Mascotte,” the streets of which are properly named Rocco, Lorenzo, Bet- tina, Beppo and Frederick. This ad- dition is at the point where the Belt rallway and Omaha & Northern rail- way promises fairly to make a junc- tion. * B. R.

Cleveland experiénced a soap shortage, recently, which put the time-honored Sat- urday night tub on short rations. Boston is threatened with a milk famine unless distributors and consumers come across with an extra 50 cents for each eight fnd one-half quart can. Unity among milk producers is an effective way of shaking down townspeople. Local transit lines in Greater New' York carried 1,8908,785,615 gers during the fiscal year ending June 30, an increase of 91,000,000 pas: the preceding fliscal year. a moving multitude. For the first time in the operation of the Sioux City High school lunch room the manager reported a loss instead of M profit. As the loss is only 1 per cent, the JBoard of Education feels, in view of the price boom, that it is getting off cheap. Mirneapolis sports went into a speedway project a few years ago and put the greater part of $500,000 into a concrete track and 342 acres of land. Now the company is in the hands of a receiver and each stock- holder is booked for an assegsment of 100 per cent on his stock. Bad luck, poor man- agement and divided counsels are said to have caused the collapse. Bakers in Salt Lake Oity explain why the weight tags on loaves of bread disagree with the actual weight. They say they buy tags by the million for economical reasons and cannot adjust the printed figures to the varying prices of .flour. The state food commissioner was not impressed and ordered bakers to make a working agree- ment between the tag and the loaf. A projected roundup of pennies for a Lincoln monument at Topeka brought to the city banks 3,000 newly-minted Lincoln pennies. The bapks put the eoins in cir- culation and monument boosters anticipated packed contribution boxes. When the con- tents of the s jars were counted new pennies were as scarce as icicles in mid- summer, The pretty pennies failed to roll in the direction intended. A survey of San Francisco conducted by experts and financed by the Real Estate board at a cost of $10,000, revealed count- less leaks in the city treasury and waste running into hundreds' of thousands of dol- lars. The surveyors spent four months on the job. They found inefficiency the rule in all departments, chair-warmers glued to jobs requiring hardly more labor than drawing the pay check, and extravagant salaries paid incompetent help. According to the report a saving of $1,000,000 can be effected if ordinary business prudence is applied to the city's affairs and political pulls eliminated. There's the rub.
