He is'the kind of man who, as president, would command confidence at home and respect abroad. The standard § per cent rakeoff of federal sal- aries which prevailed in Nebraska in the early campaign seems to have been shaved materially at the White House.

All reports agree that Mr. Kennedy has impressed people favorably wherever he has gone and that his personality and campaign methods have been steadily winning him friends and sup- porters. In. the language of the streets, “just watch his smoki Revival of River Traffic. Revival of river traffic on the upper Missis- sippi river was debated with much’ enthusiasm at a convention, just over, at LaCrosse. ‘Many phases of the problem were considered, and some 'worth while suggestions made, the general " opinion being that the future of river-borne traf- fic rests with the dealers in commodities _that may be transported on steamboats. This devel- oped the connection between the river and the Panama canal, and it was brought out clearly that the great Mississippi Valley will be at a dis- advantage in comparison with the coastal re- gions, unless the steamboat is called into requi- sition. All of this is admitted, and none of it is new. Thirty-five years ago, when the Hennepin canal was being ridiculed as “Jerry Murphy's Ditch,” and the upper Mis: ppi's echoes were startled by the whistles of many boats, the same arguments were presented to other conventions met to devise ways and means for' deepening the channel and controlling the flood-waters. One after another the boats were taken off, and the business given over to the railroads. If the re- vival of river traffic is to become a reality, it will be because the communities along the river have realized their mistake and are willing to take ad- vantage of the waterways. S | ’ THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 29, 1916. . Look out for Democratic Gas Bombs. All this campaigning is but the presentation of the case in the great court of public opinion on which the popular jury is to hand down the judgment of the ballot box. What the candidates, their champions with voice and pen, are sup- posad to do is to put the voter in possession of the fucts bearing upon the issues of the day and to bring them to look at these, issues from all the varying view points. If this work is well done, if the campaign of education is carried on effi- ciently and effectively, the judgment of the ballot box will register a true verdict of the popular will. ‘Yet ballot box judgments are not always infallible nor final, for it occasionally happens that the verdict is secured by misrepresentation, by false issues, by imposition, by trickery. It is only correct judgments founded on truth that can be lasting. In the present campaign, the republican can- didate, Charles Evans Hughes, and the advocates of republican policies, have been appealing to the intelligence of the voters openly and above board. It is inconceivable that Mr. Hughes could carry on any other kind of a campaign, because the whole makeup of his character is frankness and straightforwardness and square dealing. On the other side, the democrats have been resorting to all sorts of catch-phrases, distortions and decep- tions with a plenitude of eleventh-hour roorbacks yet to be sprung. Against this deception and trick- ery the voter who is intelligent enough to think for himself should be warned. Tt is regrettable that the democratic political managers seem- to place so low an estimate upon the people whom they make a specialty of coddling that they ex- pect them “to fall for” this stuff and thus to se- cure a ballot box judgment which these same democrats despair of getting by submitting their case on its merits for a fair decision. So, look out for political gas bombs and tor- pedoes, exploded from masked democratic bat- teries, during the coming week. A Common Grievance. The message delivered to the bankers of Ne- braska by President Felton of the Chicago Great Western railroad lifts above the tumult of poli- tics a subject of direct interest to all taxpayers. He spoke of the burdens and perplexities of rail- road management, the increasing competition of automobiles, and the growing use of trucks for short haul freighting. These inroads on railroad preserves might be borne patiently, since progress and change are the order of things. The griev- ous feature of the development, as Mr. Felton shows, comes from the fact that the railroads of the country contributed in 1916 $152,000,000 in taxes toward the building of good roads, of which nearly $2,000,000 boosted good roads in Ne- braska. It is not certain that all of this huge sum went into road building. The exact proportion is not material. The point is the manifest in- justice of taxing railroads to build good roads, stimutating automobile traffic, which in turn skims some of the créam of railroad business. Mr. Felton's message, despite its vein of lev- ity, touches a deep seated grievance common to most taxpayers. Precious few individuals or cor- porations hand in their annual dole without feel- ing similar pangs of injustice, Multitudes help pay for good roads whose sole recompense is glimpsing limousines speeding by. Regularly the outs of party politics chip in to support obnoxious officeholders or fatten administrations which are regarded as a daugerous menace to the common weal. i The Boston tea party mapped a route for es- caping unjust taxation. The spirit of that time abides, though humbled by continuous knocks and wanting in leadership. If Mr. Felton will buckle on 'his ‘armor and start a crusade against the enemy, a large and goodly company of enthus- iasts will follow whither he leads. Japanese and Christianity, Missionary Bishop St. George Tucker told the Episcopalian convention at St. Louis that the Japanese are not yet ready to give over other forms of religion and embrace Christianity. This simply states a fact that is too often overlooked by zealous advocates of universal expansion of the gospel as we know it. Shintoism, long es- tablished as the state religion of Japan, still tol- erates other forms of worship, and so the Chris- tian religion gets attention from the polite, but indifferent follower of a faith that has sefved him and his predecessors since centuries before Christ was born. Buddhists have labored there for many generations, without being able to make much headway against beliefs that endow inani- mate things with souls, perhaps of departed an- cestors, The teachings of our missionaries are listened to, but as a message whose import must be proven before it is accepted. Right here comes the rub. Experience in other ways have shown the Jap is still a Jap de- spite the veneer of western manners he has put on. A high hat and frock coat doesn’t greatly alter his patriotic view of life. The definite aim of the Christian missionary is that the Japanese shall accept not only the material and intellect- ual standards of the west, but its idealistic as well. Thus the message from the west finds itself beating against a philosophy as well as a faith founded while the great Christian nations of today were yet barbarians. The Japanese scheme of life takes little or no account of some dogmas we hold sacred, while the ideals we present have no attraction for them at all. This makes the work of proselyting difficult and results uncer- tain, Until we reach a point where we can welcome the brown man as brother in politics and busi- ness, and admit him to an equality with us in all other things in life, he is going to remain sceptical as to the bond of the brotherhood in Christ. Our Cramped Condition. That the commerce of the United States is restricted by a condition it can not control has been made plain several times since the British, by “Orders in Council,” set up a world-wide con- structive blockade, phasized by the note. just received at Washing- ton, in reply to the protest against the blacklist- ing of Ameritan firms, which is not only a boy- cott, but partakes cf some elements of a second- ary boycott. If the British contention is held, | and it probabiy will be, since our diplomacy lacks potency to secure ecither recession or concession, Americans will not only be restricted as to the countries with whom they deal, but also to such of the cilizens of those countries as may meet the approv tthe Divitish minister of foreign trade. Add to i'sonfan doctrine that protection tn A'ccricans doog not extend beyond the borders of our covntry, and you have a very fair picture of the present cramped condition of American commerce. This i more than ever em- | A | By Vietor Rosewater HILE in Chicago this /last week 1 was strangely reminded of our Nebraska semi- centennial of ~ statehood by a window dis- play put up by one of the Michigan avenue shops. A coat of a military uniform standing out against settings of red, white and blue attracted my at- tention and on an explanatory card was the in- formation that this coat had been made ninety- four years ago for a Tennessee army officer (the name was given) by Andrew Johnson, who later became president o{the United States. The coat had been preserved by its wearer’s daughter to whom acknowledgments were made for the loan of it, What struck me particularly, as I looked at this display of tailor’s art, was the thought that the same fingers that plied the needle wielded the pen that formally made Nebraska a state in the union, that the same hand that shaped thisgarment attached the signature to the pro- clamation that gave Nebraska admission to the sisterhood of states. We have been celebrating the semi-centennial of the initial stages of the process by which the transformation of the terri- tory was brought about, but we have not yet had our attention fixed upon this essential figure in the drama, the president upon whom the duty devolved to issue the commission of authority under which for the last fifti/ years Nebraska has been able to enjoy equality with the other commonwealths. The story of Andrew Johnson, the illiterate tailor, who made the coat of the military uniform loaned for a window exhibit, full of the accidents of fortune and misfortune, is one of the wonder stories interwoven with the history of the republic, especially of this state. Though he never did anything else but make this coat and sign Nebraska's statehood procla- mation, Andrew Johnson would be entitled to at least one big credit mark. During his speech-making stop over in Omaha ex-Senator Beveridge appeared in the pink of condition and his address at the Auditorium was one of the best I ever heard him make, and I have heard him a number of times. “I thought I had gotten out of politics al- together and had finished with this sort of cam- paigning,” he said to me, “but I am so intense in my personal admiration for Mr. Hughes that I could not withstand the urgent requests for speeches, and when I agreed to deliver a few campaign speeches, the demands multiplied $o that I found myself booked for a tour clear to the Pacific coast and all through the middle states, “I wish everyone knew Mr. Hughes as I do. I can conceive of him listening to something I have to say or suggest and replying ‘I agree with you thoroughly’; or perhaps, ‘I disagree with you wholly’; or maybe, 'What you say interests me and I will think it over.’ But I cannot conceive of him telling me one thing and doing another, After my experience in politics that is the kind of a man I want to tie to and also the kind of a man the people ought to tie to.” Since his return from the war arena in Europe Mr. Beveridge has been devoting his time ex- clusively to. completing a life of Chief Justice John Marshall, which is now on the press and which he feels will be his literary masterpiece. Speaking of his Auditorium speech some one re- marked upon its keen logic and I have no doubt that this cogency of argument, with which I too was impressed, is to be ascribed, in part at least to his intimate familiarity with John Marshall acquired in the preparation of these biographical volumes. There must be a talisman in the number “twenty-three,” instead of the proverbial ill-luck supposed to attach to it, as witness the follow- ing letter received from John H. Clapham, an old Bee man, writing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, which I am sure will be of interest to other be- sides myself: D i “I read ih a recent issue of the Linotype Bulletin that the office under your contro] will install. a number of multiple-magazine linotypes, replacing an equal number of ma- chines of oné magazine only. The part of the notice that claimed my attention was the skate- ment that the first machines were installed twenty-three years ago. Having had the honor of making my beginning as a linotyper in the office then presiged over by your honored father, I’ felt that the old days had a claim to remembrance. 1 was 23 years of age at the time the machihes were installed, and that is twenty-three years ago. As I was the last regular typesetter on the night side, I did not expect, nor did I receive at the moment, an opportunity to try the machine out, or rather to try myself out on the machine. I was the first of the second lot of apprentices, after the weeding out process was started to eliminate those who made no headway. With the train- ing I received then I made my way to New York and was able to obtain employment in a short time. Since then I have been em- ployed on linotypes continuously, and now have the honot to represent the Mergenthaler Linotype cml\Fany as inspector and machinist in Central and South America. “You will understand that I am grateful for the early opportunity I had to learn some- thing useful.

T have followed the course of The Bee all the time. I remember Mr. Haynes, who was accused by Al Fairbrother of wasting the life of lead pencils because he had dreamed of “boiling down the rot and wretchedness of his correspondents,” adding that when Colonel Shakespeare's Polonius insisted that brevity was the soul of wit—well, it amounted to the same thing. “If the number 23 has been as good to The Bee as it has been to me, we both have reason to be grateful” People and Events Black cats and bad luck pussy-foot together. Two society girls of Chicago, unaware of the attachment, sought a collection of dark felines for a social frolic, encountered a park police- man in the chase, and landed in jail for an hour, which was a-plenty. A live lobster, a dog and a curious cat started a riot in a Philadelphia restaurant. When the screams subsided, two women diners were found in a faint, four tables upset, considerable smashed crockery and a section of the cat's tail in the lob. ster's claws. Imagination can, picture the rest of the thrills and scenery. The old story of the moth and the flame came periliously close to reality in the life of a high school girl in Chicago. The lure of the bright lights, the cabarat dance and gay clothes drew her from home long enough to singe the pin feathers. A courageous and persistent foster father and liberal use of money traced the giddy youngster and brought her home, tearful and re- pentant, to mother, In a letter to the Boston Transcript Mrs. George A. Loveland of Lincoln, Neb., makes grateful acknowledgement ' for courtesies ex- tended to her and her children in Boston. “Hav- ing been born and brought up on the Nebraska prairie,” she writes, “I had nrways heard of the coldness and conservatism and exclusiveness of New England people. When my children and I had an opportunity to spend a month in Boston I wondered if we would ever speak to a soul without an introduction, except policemen and conductors, but I found people in dear old Bos- ton quite as friendly lmrloapinble and human @y anywhere in the we Other westerners have had like experiences at the Hub.

Storyette of the Day. An officlal in one of the largest man- ufacturing concerns in Philadelphia recently showed me the huge plant. I marveled at the labor-saving ma- chinery. “One of our workmen,” he said, “has made a great many of the im- provements you see in this room. He likes to go duck shooting, and while off on a trip for a week or more he thinks out some new way to save la- bor." After a moment's pause he added: “Why he turned up one day with a plan whereby we save '(0,000 a year.” “And what,"” I inquired, “does that workman getiout of it?” “Oh,” the happy official replied, “he gets the ducks.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
