All who believe a serious mistake was made when the Federal Reserve bank for this district was located in Kansas City, instead of in Omaha, will find interesting reading in the article we reprint on this page from the Chicago Journal, which is a staunch democratic paper and cannot be charged with partisan prejudice in denouncing the distribution of the reserve banks as “unfair.” The Journal says without equivocation that the Kansas City bank could be moved to Omaha. True, it couples this declaration with its advocacy of a plan to add three more reserve banks to the total number—to make fifteen in al} but that does the bank in Kansas City does not belong there and should by rights be in Omaha, Although all the efforts originally put forth to assert our claim failed at the time, subsequent events have plainly justified our contention. It is clear now that the reserve banks are not prop- erly distributed in their present locations to answer the purpose. To keep two banks in the one state of Missouri is inexcusable. If the num- ber is not to be increased, the banks should be re-distributed. If more are to be added, Omaha surely should come in for one of them. If the number were to be reduced, then Omaha should at least have a branch bank under the jurisdic- tion of Chicago instead of Kansas City. The Journal calls upon congress to begin at once the task of perfecting the federal reserve act, If congress tackles the job, Omaha must seek consideration there. British Blacklist to Stand. The language of the note from Viscount Grey, conveying the reply of the British cabinet to the pratest sent from Washington some months ago, leaves little reason for thinking any change will be made in the British blacklist policy or that the names.of any American firms will be expunged from the list because of objections from Wash- ington to the principle. Great Britain very frankly ——— Some consolation anyway in knowing that Ne- | sayg that control of the seas will be administered according to the views of the British ministry, ,The blacklist is put out as a weapon of war, and as such will be used. Polite expressions do not conceal the purpose, - The principle involved may be municipal, as is set up by the British note, but the effect of its application reaches far beyond the British citi- zens'who are thus commande, and through them takes hold on the people of the world, It is there- fore of interest to all. In citing the action of M seem to be, coming in on the | Lord Russell at the time of the civil war-in the United States, Viscount Grey is begging the question. The analogy sought does not exist. Lord Russell asked his countrymen to refrain _hurried dash-to Washington from a trade that was specific in its nature and did not suggest to them the desirability of with- drawing from ‘relations with representatives of the southern confederacy, wherever found, or re- fusal to trade with their sympathizers in any cotintry. The British blacklist is world-wide in its application, and by adopting the principle of nationalty rather than domikile to distinguish ene- will include within its who must feel the result of the boycott in their business,, | This note brings home to the United States just a little mote directly conditions Germany found irksorge, and which led to the demand for “a seat,in, the sun” It must finally be settled if commerce of the word is to be subject to British dictation, even if the latter be supported by a pledge that control will be administered in the interest of humanity, or if humanity is to have something to say about conditions of life inént surgeon, | and intercourse between peoples. . R Modesty is His Motto, From the senator's own personal newspaper organ and inspired political champion we take out of the class | the following post-election outburst: “The only conclusion to be drawn is that throughout the west large numbers of pro- gressives supported Wilson, but voted for few other democratic candidates. The president was stronger than his party. Nebraska is lpplrtnflr an exception’to this rule. But in nearly all other states it the president’s personal strength that carried the day.” In other words, the blushing senator modestly admits that in Nebraska it was not President Wil- son who saved the day for the democrats, but it was the popularity and strength of Senator Hitch- cock that saved the president. The fact that the senator’s majority of six years ago was cut nearly in half and that he rode astride “the wet bar'l,” of course has hothing to do with the case, any more than the fact that Wilson has polled some 20,000 more votes in Nebraska this year than he did four years ago. According to the Hitchcock or- gan, Nebraska is the exception to the rule and, were it not for Hitchcock, Wilson would have been in this state in the also-ran class. Great is our senator and modesty is his motto. e—— Wireless Around the World. | The opening of wireless communication be- tween the United States and Japan is but the ex- tension of man's feeble grip on the forces of na- ture. A very few years ago the cable was laid under coutrol of the United States which com- pleted the circuit of the world by covering the Pacific, and now we find that service supple- mented by the Marconi invention, which will Soon be extended till it, too, will girdle the globe, To all inten:s it does now. TTs value has been doubly demonstrated by the European war, and that its service will expand with peace is quite easy to believe. All of these things reduce the size of the world, by bringing the separated members of fhe human family into closer physical rela- tions, and thus facilitate the process of uniting them in better social relations. The wireless is but one'of a number of agencies working to the great end of spreading the softening influences of civilization and the consequent establishment of peace for all the world. i With the beginning of the year, Omaha will be wholly without representation in the membership of the supreme court, the State Railway coms mission and equally unrepresented in the elective offices in the state house.

Some, lively sprinting is needed to beat | The War's Cost in Money I I—-—_ \ Literary Digest If the European war lasts a full three years, until pext August, as seems to some experts not unlikely, it will have cost three times as much as the Napoleonic war, the American civil war, the Franco-Prussian war, the Boer war and the Russo-Japanese war combined. At least such is the ‘estimate of the Mechanics and Metals Na- tional bank of New York in its recent booklet on “War Loans and War Finance”; by careful cal- culation it figures that $75,000,000,000 will be spent for direct military purposes during the three fyll years. This, by the way, may be compared with the recent estimate of Count von Roedern, seg- retary of the imperial German treasury, putting the total cost of the war to date, for all belliger- ents, at $59,500,000,000. The New York banking authority gets his three-year cost by adding to the cost of $17,500,000,000 for the first year and $28,- 000,000,000 for the second, an estimated $30,000,- 000,000 for the third. The total, we are reminded, “will represent a sum twice as large as the total indebtedness of every nation in the world, as that debt stood in 1914. It will represent an amount seven times ’realer than the combined deposits of all the 600 national banks in the United States, and also seven times greater than the world's luppfll( of minted gold. It will represent an amount suffi- cient to have built and equipped railroads equal to five times the number now operating in the United States. It will represent an amount that would have paid for 208 such projects as the Panama canal; that would have extended railway and steamship lines into every corner of the earth; that would have provided schools and teachers for every child living today; that would have eliminated savagery; that would have en- dawed science to the devotion of its efforts to im- prove the living conditions of all mankind. “And yet the military cost is not all.. There is. to be considered (Ke outright destruction, speaking in terms of tangible wealth, of cities, railways, ships, factories, warehouses, bridges, roads and agricultural values—destruction that for given months would require figures of further thousands of millions, were such destruction read- ily calculable. There is the loss of that percent- e of Europe’s manhood maimed and destroyed. ere is the loss of production in occupied terri- tories, the decrease sn stocks of food, metal' and other materials, the derangement of the machin- ery of distribution, “There is the outright loss of property which 25,000,000 soldiers and many other milfions of le would have created had they not been en- isted to fight or otherwise to contribute' their skill and energy to the pursuit of war. There is the loss represented by the devoting of people's savings to the buying of guns, shells and the vast paraphernalia of war's: equipment; savings that otherwise would have found a way to the con- structiog of permgnent things. There is the very real ecohomic loss on account of the aggregation of wfierin: and misery of whole bodies of peo- ple, like those of Belsium, Poland and Servia, de at times to wander homeless through de- vastated' lands. There is the eventual cost of pensions.” The direct military cost of the war is distri- buted as follows in “War Loans and War Fi- nance.” Britain France Russia Al;hm..c‘,;u.';u 00 #7i " The erents obtaini b : bdlll.‘ E A &g{ o ople, from gllied’ governments or peoples, ?reom the people of“:emrnl nations. ¢ in:e the beginning of the war, it is noted, the United States has loaned more than $1,500,000,000 to the warring flations.

This is attributed in some measure to a scarcity of cars for carrying the large volume of roods. while so many of them are employed in feeding that abnormal part of the foreign trade which is stimulated by the war in Europe, But some of the leading railroad managers are admitting that the trouble is not so much in a general shortage of cars as a bad distribution of those belonging to different rail- road companies, The superintendent of transportation of a leading western road, at a hearing before Inter- staté Commerce Commissioner McChord at Louisville the other day, said that the “apparent shortage” was quite 8mall, only about 60,000 in a total of 2,600,000 on all the lines, and that it resulted mainly from. shippers asking for more cars than they needed in order to make sure that they get all they want. Some of them habitually get more than they need, thereby depriving others of what they call for. Whatever the cause, the shortage could be fully met by a more effi- cient distribution of the car supply. Many lie idle in one place while they are needed some- where else; This superintendent, Mr. W. L, Barnes of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, said that that system had been forced in self- defense to hold “foreign cars” that came upon its lines and would have to do so until there was from other lines. While it had about 32,000 on its system belonging to other lines, 37,000 of its own were detained on “foreign lines.” Evidence of a like state of things on other lines was adduced before the commissioner. The difficulty is not a lack of freight equipment, but a bad distribytion of it, a lack of efficiency in the methods intended to keep it moving so far as practicable where it is wanted. Some shippers, especially those having exceptionally profitable use for cars, are holding all that come their way or that they can reach until they are ready to use them. ‘A similar result comes from a slow rocess of unloading as from keeping empty cars idle until shippers are ready to load, and having a surplus always ow hand while others are short. The only" remedy seems to be an. increase in demurrage charges to shippers and receivers of oods and of per diem charges to the roads for goldinl cars idle which come under their control. That is a matter which comes within the author- ity of thé Interstate Commerce commission, and it concerns a great deal of business besides that directly involved in particular shipments and de- All kinds of “costs” are aggravated by fack of efficiency in transportation service. i ot i i b Y, NOVEMBER 16, or’ some better assurance of a return of its own |- ot P 1916.

Grant, Neb,, Nov, 15.—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: Will you please settle the following dlsputed question: If a man places an (x) in the ring and votes a stralght ticket all the way through, is it legal for him to cross over to another party ticket and vote for some one on that ticket? How can this be done legally; he can't vote for two for the same office, he has already voted for one. Iam not ques- tioning the fact that in Nebraska pre- cincts the judges give a man credit for his intentions, but I want to know the legality of such a proceeding. In Iowa and elsewhere they have taken the rings off the ballot, because it caused irregularities like the above, and if & man voted as above, that is, scratched for another party on an- other ticket after voting it straight, it was held illegal and the votes were thrown out, as they should - be, or counted straight only. The ring should be discarded also in Nebraska; it's & nuisance. Please advisé me soon as to the legality of the above question. I am on your list and hope that even yet errors may show that Hughes has won. A. SHUTER, Note by Editor: Law counts circle cross for all party candidates except where individual cross in square indi- cates a different choice. Some Tips from a Veteran. Omaha, Nov. 14.—To the Editor of The Bee: The Manchester Guardian attributes Wilson's success to the in- terest that Roosevelt took. That is & mistake; it was the pope. He thought that if Hughes was elected he would appoint Roosevelt secretary of war and if he did it would be goodby Mexico. The Catholics could not boss Hughes as they have and will do with Wilson. About 75 per cent of Wilson's appoint- ments have been Catholics or sym- pathizers. I wrote you two or three weeks ago that a vote for Wilson would be a vote for Tumulty, and if you will tse your judgment yoir will find that I was right. Another thing: The saloon people claim they are pay- ing to the school some $350,000 per year and they claim that the tax levy will be raised, Not if churches and church holdings are assessed as they ought to be. It is likely that an amend- ment to the constitution would have to be made. G. B. SMITH, Wooster's Words of Protest. Silver Creek, Neb, Nov. 16.—To the Editor 6f The Bee: From the very meager newspaper reparts of the work of the State Teachers' associa- tion in Omaha, it would seem that about the only thing they did deserv- ing public attention was to recom- mend by unanimous vote the use of simplified spelling in the schools as adopted by the National Education association, the worde of which partic- ularly specified are, in their simplified forms, the following: “Tho, altho, thru, thruout, thoro, thorofare, thoroly, catalog, decalog, pedagog, program, prolog.” If those teachers could think of nothing better than this to do, they might much better have stayed at home attending to their schools where, in my opinion, they should have been in any case. It is all right for the teachers to have their state meeting if they wish to; but they should be held, if at all, during the summer vacation when it will not be necessary, as is now the case, to deprive practically all the children in the state of a week's study and work, This simplified spelling is an abomination; buti that very fact is a sufficlent reason why teachers— more particularly “educators”— who are always straining after some- thing different, should take it up. Simplified spelling, carried to its log- ical conclusion, means purely pho- netic spelling, or, a separate and dis- tinct character for each elementary sound. Theoretically that is logical, but in practice impracticable. The fact that for a hundred 'years or more the form of printed words has been fixed, and that we have hun- dreds of millions of printed books is reason enough why there should be no change in the spelling of words, To begin such changing which, from the nature of the case, could never end, ought not to be thought of or tolerated for a mo- ment. To teach our children these new forms would be to make all books now in our Iibraries seem strange and out of the way to them and disturb and confuse their minds; while to run up against one of them creates in the mind of an older per- son a feeling of hatred and intense disgust. But what right have teachers to introduce or encourage such an inno- vation? None at all; and school boards should put a stop to such work whenever it crops out, as they have full power to do. And profes- sors, too, in the University of Ne- braska have no more rights in this matter than have the teachers in our public schools; and our board of re- gents should put a stop to their ac- tivities along that line. It will_be recalled that when Theodore Roosevelt was president he ity - once ordered that this simplified spelling should be used in the public printing office at Washington in the printing of all publi¢c ‘documents, but that when congress convened they made short work of him and went back to the regular spelling. And so in a similar way should our incom- ing legislature by resolution, or formal act, put an end to all thig simplified spelling idiocy insofar as all official publications and our schools from 'the university down are con- cerned. CHARLES WOOSTER. Emotional Voting. Omaha, Nov. 15.—To the Editor or The Bee: When I expressed opposi- tion to. woman suffrage two years ago and said tpey were too emotional to bé candid 'voters I was called down for saying that by some of the suffrag- ists, both publicly and by anonymous letters, but the election of November 7 sustains the view. 3 The result in the suffrage states shows that the women voters had thelr fears and emotions worked upon by the “he kept us out of war” cry and they voted for Wilson, not be- cause they preferred him, but through their fears and emotions. It has been said that women voters are many of them more intelligent than the aver- age of men voters, That is probably nearly true, but men generally vote according to principle and not by emo- Q tions, as a general thing. Had it not been for the emotional women voters in the mountain states it is more than likely that Hughes would have carried every one of them. ‘The suppression of republican votes in the southern states and the hysteri- cal voting of women i what elected Wilson. In the two states of Wes| Virginia and South Dakota, where woman suffrage was beaten, the men * voters strongly voted for Hughes. I think we have had enough hysterical voting in this country already without adding millions of women who will be hysterically controlled by their whims and scares and emotions. As my wife expresses it, women cam do lots of good without mixing up in political affairs, and in fact more good to humanity. Buffrage has been beaten in every state that has voted on it in the last four years and will continue to be beaten right along. Better work for the right of every republican in Mise sissippl and South Carolina to cast thelr votes as freely as democrats cast their votes in Iowa and Nebraska be- fore extending the right of suffrage to women. The intolerable condition in the south must end. FRANK A. AGNEW. * .. SMILING LINES. Samuel—Do you think your father woull objeot to my marrying you? l lhlg’-x couldn’t say, Sammy.

The most eminent physicians recog- nize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric acid poison ie present in the joints, muscles or nerves. By ex- perimenting and analysis at the In- valids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discov- ered a combination of native rem- edies that he called Anuric—which drives out the uric acid from the sys- 4 tem, and in this way the pain, swell ing and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid. Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to a dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys. Naturally when the kidneys are deranged the blood is filled with poisonous urie § -~ acid, which settles in the tissues of the feet, ankles, wrists or back as uratic salts; or under the eyes in bag- like formations. It is just as necessary to keep the kidneys acting pr:rerly 8 to keep the bowels active to rid the body of pois- ons. The very best &ouibls way to take i care of yourself is to take a glass of t hot water before meals and an Anurie tablet. In this way it is readily dis- solved with the food, .picked up by the blood and finally reaches the kid- neys, where it has a cleansing and tonic effect. Step into the drug store and ask for a 50-cent package of Anuric, or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pckg. Anuric—many times. more potent than lithia, eliminates uric acid as » ——— hot water melts sugar.
