The summary of Nebraska's principal crops compiled by the federal bureau of crop estimates vary but little from the estimates of the State Board of Agriculture and the report compiled by the United States National bank of Omaha, Of the three the federal estimate gives the state higher rank in corn production, 194,000,000 bush. els, only 18,000,000 bushels below the record crop of 1915, and slightly reduces home reports o wheat and oats. The ma of los: com- pared with last year's totals is insignificant be- side the higher value of this year's erop. The bank report for 1915 placed the aggregate value of all soil products at $323,033,544 and for 1916 at $341,740,000, a net increase of $18,000,000, In itself the gain constitutes a juicy dividend on farm investments. The incréased turnover on a reduced crop icomes from an advance of 76 cents in the price of wheat over last year, 26 cents in corn, 13 cénts in oats, 83 cents per bushel in potatoes and proportionate gains in lesser crops. Comparative figures for 1916 are not at hand to determine Nebraska's rank with other states in production of céreals, Last year the state ranked third In wheat production, fourth in corn and sixth in oats.

The Marvel of It All What an amazing spectacle the United States must have presented to the onlooking world dur- ing the past week! Here in this vast land, with a hundred million inhabitants, an election was held that was tp determine not only the identity of the chief magistrate and those who should as- sist him in ruling the nation for the next four years, but also the policies which should govern their administration, and this election was so close that the result swung in doubt for four days. Yet nowhere was there any manifestation of lawlessness or disorder, nor any serious sug- gestion of anything but submission te the ver- dict of the ballot box as soon as it should be definitely and officially known, In what other country in the world could a counterpart of such a condition prevail under similar circumstances? In the so-called Latin lands, as everyone knows,.even where the forms of popular government prevail, fio ordinary con- test for political supremacy ever takes place with- out violence—more often it transforms itself into actual revolution. In the countries of Eu- rope where popular elections have been super- imposed upon monarchical traditions an election as close as ours with the same orderliness and amiable acceptance of results i rare. In no Eu- ropean country does a single ballot-box judg- ment decide the character of the government, na- tional, state and local, as does ours, It all comes back, therefore, to the substan- tial firmness of the foundation upon which our popular government rests and the training of our citizenship to carry out in good faith the constitution and laws whigh they have made for themselves and merely to await the next turn when they find they have made mistakes. The very greatest marvel is that all our people, the newcomers from Egrope, as well as those born angd raised here, adapt themselves so fully to these essential requirements of self-government. St —— A Education in Nehraska, The presence in ‘Omaha during the last week of the public school teachers of Nebraska was overshadowed to some extent in public attention by the unusual conditions following the presi- dential electioni, So far as this is concerned, the convention would have suffered from the same cause, no matter where it met. But this should not in any way detract from the main fact, that the conyention was held, and that its several sessions, and especially its department meetings were attended by men and women deeply con- cerned in the work of spreading enlightentient, Topics presented and discussions held involved matters of technical importance and general ap- plication, and evinced the high purpose of the educators of the state. Nebraska holds a justi- fiable pride in its schoél system, the results of which are reflected in its rank among the fore- most in literacy and the exceptional quality of its citizenship. This standard will be maintained so long as the people of the state recognize ‘the vital connection between. the school teacher and the training of the boys and girls who are to be the citizens of the future. From this point it may be seen that no more important gathering comes to Omaha than the convention of the teachers, who will resume their work all the bet- ter qualified betause of their conference and ex- change of ideas. Ee———— Canada’s Astonishing' Command. The action of the Canadian government in putting the ban on’ a group of American news- papers, whose editors have offended John Bull, is one of the little sidelights of the war that in some way relieve its tragedy. It is scarcely credible that the authorities of the Dominion be- lieve that by this action they have altered the course of the war, or will influence the expres- slons of the editors who are thus excluded from hearing in Canada. On thé contrary, it is al- ost equivalent to an admission that the publi- cations now excommunicated had some effect on the people of Canada, who have been looked upon as ultra-loyal and beyond the possibility of dis- affection, no matter who undertook to spread se- dition among them. Of course, the officials over there find it hard to brook the criticisms of their conduct, and may have some justification for the allegations of misrepresentation they make, but they ought to understand that in a country so thoroughly democratic as Canada, the surest way to gain a hearing for an individual or a publication i8 to deny the right of utterance, Forbidding the citizens to read a certain newspaper is more likely to increase the prestige of that newspaper among those who might be reached by its statements or arguments. From this distance it strikes a dis- interested observer that she Ottawa authorities have, in the language of the sporting field, “pulled a boner.” —— When the Sea Gives Up Its Ships. More or less of melancholy interest always Attaches to a sunken ship, springing from both practi¢al and sentimental causes. This interest will add zest to the recital of a Brasilian inven- tor's achievement., His plan for ralsing sunken vessels, explained a few weeks ago to the En- gineers’ club at Rio de Janiero, is simplicity it- self. Any depth of water in which divers can work is within the scope of the plan, which is to attach bags.of various shapes to the wreck, both within and without, and then inflate them with air from above, The expanding bags expel the water from the vessel, and by its own buoyancy it rises, Experiments with the invention are reported to have been very successful , The Brit- ish channel will afford a splendid field for its operation after the war, and such victims of the U-boats as have not been shattered beyond re- pait may be restored to the fleets of the 'world. Publicity’s spotlight now shifts from the great- ness of yesterday to the live ones of today and tomorrow. The citizen who, a few short weeks ago, changed his party flag and won plaudits as “an eminent, intelligent and public spirited leader,” -returns to carth and loses himself in the common herd. Publicity plays many favor- ites, but sticks to f . The latest “mysterious stranger” will put in an appearance when Miss Jeannette Rankin of Montana flutters into the Sixty-fifth congress and takes the oath. The staging of the event with befitting scenic ‘effects marks an epoch in woman's advance in public activities and shatter another bulwark of man's power. The proposal for submarine mail service be- tween the United States and Germany commends itself to public favor. Even if the service were limited under existing conditions, the venture would be & protest against offensive interference with American mail, By Vietor Rosewater ES, THIS YEAR'S presidential election has produced more lhn’ll‘: than any election with- in the memory of any but the old-timers who go back to 1860 and 1876, The presidential election of 1884 is said to have been also a thriller. When making comparisons, howeyer, it must not be overlooked that the facilities for communication and for the collection and compilation of the re- turns have been marvelously improved and that a three day's delay in ascertaining the result in the year 1916 would correspond to a delay of weeks in the period that antedated the extension of the telegraph and telephone to nearly every backwoods precinct. The real wonder is, when we give it a thought, not that it should take so fong to gather and tabulate the figures that tell who is elected, but that this task should be ac- complished with such speed and approximate ac- curacy as it has been done. The election has cast down from. their pedes- tals all the high prophets and prognosticators. The number of sure forecasts of the distribution of the electoral votes_put out could not be kept track of, but if a single one of them hit anywhere near the mark it has not been disclosed. Some mathematical genius ought to figure out how many different possible combinations of the elec- toral college allotments are scientifically possible just by way of encouragement for a new crop of political necromancers, The accepted method of arriving at totals by using first-received returns as the basis for a proportion has also sustained a severe jolt, for on the first figures it wad all over for these speculators. The New York papers of the day after election, with their flaring head- lines announcing Hughes' election by *decisive majorities as a result of a republican landslide— democratic papers and ardent Wilson supporters at that—are grim reminders of the danger of jumping at conclusions and- admonition that the most time-tried rule has its exceprtons. With the election so close, it w: succession of joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, for everybody interested and from the way our telephones kept ringing continually for three days and night with anxious inquiries, that interest was well nigh universal. These calls for information came from all over, by phone and wire, from Omaha and surrounding towns, and from adjacent states, and.the tele- graph and telephone companies must have reaped a harvest. I responded to long-distance at my home on getting up in the morning and on retir- ing in the wee hours of the night, and in my office I tnd to disconnect my phone to secure a little time for other work. An exceptional situation confronited the news- papers in this h:ydlr of excitement by reason of the shortage of available white paper supply and the high cost of the print paper used for extras, Ordinarily the newspaper is only too eager to ush its street and newsstand sales and it would ave been easy for us to have inflated our circu- lation by thousands of copies each day, but the more copies we put out, the more it would have cost us. As this temporary circulation is of no special value to the advertiser, we devised the plan of issuing merely a four-page “election spe- cial” between regular editions for accommoda- tion of the public, and held down on extras as much as we coulJ. and our readers were in no way the suffeters, This 18 what comes from hold- ing a presidential election in the midst of a Euro- pean war. In another country the eléction might have been postponed. No man I know of possessed such buoyant character in the face of ups and downs as did Max Meyer, whose funeral I attended a week ago. , There was a period in Omaha history when no enterprise was projected and nothing was a go without including Max Meyer among the. leading factors, He had come to Omaha int 1866 as a mere boy and made a place for himself in the forefront of our business community. With his brothers, associated with him, he had the finest jewelry establishment and musical instrument ouse west of Chicago and he set the pace for the city’s retail expansion when he made the jump, about 1888, from his location on Eleventh and Farnam to the corner of Sixteenth and Farnam, where he occug’ied most of the ground floor of the then new Paxton block." He was for some time a director of The Bee Publishing company. He was optimistic, generous and public-spirited and to these very qualities must be ascribed his financial reverses following the panic and de- pression of 1893 and 1394, as a result of over-ex- ansion and accommodations to friends. Max eyer's great delight ll{ in his personal acquain- tance with the celebrities of the opera and the stage which his musical connections gave him and he kept open house for them while he lived here. When he relocated in Laltimore, he main- tained these friendships and I remember him ex- hibiting to me in his apartment there a ‘guest book inscribed with the autographs of many stage notables, 3 “The one condition,” he said, “for putting your name here is that you must first, have a mea! in my house.” “Do you mean to say that all of these folks have been your guests for a meal?” “Yes,” he insisted. “Why I had Henry Irving and Ellen Terry here the other night and showed them my book and Irving said, ‘Where's your pen, I will put my name down?’ “ ‘Oh, no, Sir Henry,' I told him, ‘you can- not write in that book because you have not yet taken a meal with me. I want your autograph, but I want jt on a separate sheet of paper.’ “And here are the signatures of Irving and Terry,” he exclaimed exultantly, “but not in the book, as you see.” Whenever I saw him, after he removed later to New York, he manifested the same jovial spirit unchanged by prosperity or adversity and Omaha and Omaha friends were always the welcome topic of conversation. The Omaha of today owes to the eénergy and enterprise of Max Meyer in the carlier days more than we reckon. Fragments of the Battle Charles_E. Hughes voted ballot No. 13 and Woodrow Wilson ballot No. 50. Rival political doctors in Kansas agree that “he kept us out of war” turned the trick. This acquits William Allen White and Colonel Mur- dock, One of the backward-looking guessers of po- litical mysteries accuses Tom Johnson of respon- sibility for Ohio's,somersault. Putting it on the dead, for sure. All political shades of newspapers in the east on Wednesday morning carried huge headlines throbbing with G. O. P. joy and then sone. The morning of the day after—oh, well, forget it. New York, Pennsylvania and Iilinois whooped up republican majorities well -over’ 100,000 each, but the mountainous majorities showed up too late to give the proper steer to wobbling neigh- bors. ’ . Alaska breaks into the dry belt along with Nebraska, South Dakota, Michigan, Montana and Florida. California, Missouri and Maryland stuck to their idols and refused to take the dust of the water wagon. Keokuk, Ia, sends Frank Oertel, a blind man, to the legislature, the first blind person to win the distinction in tfe state. Legislative experi- ence is esteemed an eye opener, and Mr, Oertel will be a gainer. The tragic death of Silas A. Barton, repub: lican candidate for congress in the Fifth Ne- braska district, has a partial counterpart in the death of Mrs. Charles \Doetschman of Aurora, 111, from over-excitement caused by the news of her husband's election as county recorder. Campaign exertion and excitement sorely strains the vitality of elders. OVEMBER 12, 1916. | Thought Nugget For the Day.

Boston Transcript: Whenever a minister of any of our Christian churches sets out to discover explanations why the people of to- day seem so amazingly hard to reach by religion, whereas, a century ago they clam- ored at the doors of the churches, he can discover a series of causes. Many of them will lay the onus on the people, on the in- creasing materialism of their lives, and on their loss of reverence for authority. And these may be rightly alleged as contributing causes. But the great, the underlying re- sponsibility still lies on the church itself. In its charge is lodged the task of construc- tion, an: if it is failing of constructive appeal to the masses its first duty is to look to its own methods and materials.
