War and War Clouds.
War clouds have been hovering
over eastern Europe so ominously
that the formal declaration of war
by the Balkan states against Turkey
is not the startling piece of news
It would otherwise be.
Conditions of unrest in eastern
Europe, and around, the Mediter
ranean, are such that open hostilities
have long been threatened, and the
possibility of their spread clearly
recognized. !
War clouds have also been fol
lowed by' actual war, still waging In
Mexico and in Central America to the
south of us. While in none of the
southern republics does the situation
appear alarming to us, our obliga
tions nnder the Monroe doctrine are
such that we cannot be Insensible to
the dangers.
None will gainsay that the Ameri
can people are a nation of peace-lovers,
that we prefer to remain In hon
orable peace with the world.
No one will question either that
President Taft is sincerely devoted to
the eause of peace, and in all our for
eign relations has peace for his guid
ing star.
With the clanking of arms resound
ing from the far east, and the smoke
of battle rising in the south, the
American people, before they vote at
the coming election, should ask them
selves these questions: ,
Whose hand is steady enough and
experienced enough to be depended
on to avoid complications?
Under which president is the na
tion most likely to remain at peace
and escape the horrors of war?
Prosperity Talks .m. '
Have the last four years under
President Taft been good years or
lad years for the people? While each
one can best answer that question
for himself as an individual, no bet
ter way of measuring the prosperity
of a community has been found than
the exhibit of bank clearings. How do
the bank clearings in Omaha compare
this year with the corresponding per
iod before President Taft became our
chief executive? There Is no trouble
to get the figures, and here they are:

In four years the volume of Oma
ha's bank clearings has increased

A ' pretty good increase. A city like
ours could not possibly have been go-
ins: backward, or Us bnalneoa he suf
fering seriously from vicious govern
ment policies, while making that
magnificent showing.
The Parka in Autumn.-'
The city man thinks mostly of his
parks in the summer as places of re
lief from the heat,' but 'the Omaha
man who forgets them in the autumn
misses much of their grandeur and
beauty. Pew cities are blessed with
such a park at Riverview. It is a for
est primeval of 111 acres; its rolling,
undulating surface templed with
trees of many descriptions, which in
October blend into a landscape of
coloring no artist's brush could por
tray. It must have been such a place
Walt Whitman had in mind! when he
wrote: "leaves thick-falling, the
ground brown with them already;
rich coloring, yellow of all hues, pale
and dark green, shades from lightest
to richest red all set in and toned
down by the prevailing brown of the
earth and gray of the sky."
' In Riverview park, which gently
recedes from the Missouri river, af
fording commanding views off Into
the adjoining state of Iowa, there are
little streamlets and lakelets inter
vening between the hills and dales
seemingly to add to the sweet melan
choly of the autnmn time. Where the
band of man has touched nature's
masterpiece with walks or boule
vards or pavilions or menageries or
parklets filled with deer, it has only
been to enhance the beauty and ap
peal of nature.
And, besides Riverview, there are
other beautiful parks in Omaha
which make "loafing in the woods"
as joyous as ever Whitman found it
mid-way 'twlxt winter and spring.
, : Confiscating Garden Seed.
: 'A Vigrlnla postmaster is unfer ar
rest for confiscating a package of
garden seed franked' by a congress
man to one of his constituents. What
Obtuse cross-roads postmaster does
not know that, ; though he might
with impunity tamper with the pa
tron's mall, intercept a money order
or read his hve-letters, he could
Lever hope to escape punishment if
he touched his free garden -seed?
Moreover, must the most solemn pre
rogative of the representative in
congress of a sovereign people be
subject to the whim of a mere
.Vasby? Take away from him his
light to frank garden seed to all bis
constituents and what would he have
left? Might as well strike down the
gontallon of liberty and be done with
it. We have no idea what the fate
of this postmaster will be, except
that it can scarcely be commensurate
with even the heinous offense he has
committed. .

A YEAR WHICH MADE HISTORY,
World-Shaking Convulsions of a Century Ago.
St Louis Globe-Democrat
Let those who Imagine that great
things never converged into such a short
time, in the past aa they have done occa
sionally In our day, take a glance at the
number of centennials which are taking
place this year, and see how widely they
are distributed over, the earth. Only
three and a half months ago came the
WOth anniversary of the beginning of the
second conflict between '- - the United
States and England, an event which re
ceived attention from the leading Jour
nals of the two countries on June 18,' the
centenary of the declaration of war by
the United States congress. Immediately
both countries started to consider what
sort of recognition Should be rivet) to
the peace anniversary, which arrives on
December 24, 1913. On June 23 the French,
Russian. British and other newspapers
gave some apace to the centennial of the
crossing of the NIemen by Napoleon and
the beginning of the war between France
and Russia, a conflict, which, in one or
other of its phases, had a vital effect on
the subsequent history of Europe. A few
day. ago Russia observed the centenary
of the burning of Moscow, which com
pelled Napoleon to evacuate" that town.
and begin the moat disastrous retreat of
modern days.
And now, In Cadis, , the people are cele
brating the 100th anniversary of the es
tablishment of the first parliament which
Spain ever saw. Why CadU? Because
Madrid, at the time, waa in possession
of the French; Joseph Bonaparte, Na-
poleon'a brother, was king of Spain; that
country's native monarch, Ferdinand
VII, waa in retirement, and virtually a
prisoner and absolutism was triumphant
over a large part of the country. With
the creation of the courts la October,
1813 the story of modern. Spain began.
Delegations from all the Spanish-Ameri-Ican
countries, from the Rio Grande to
Cape Horn, are taking part in the exer
cises. The event which they are cele
brating meant much to them, tor all of
them, aa' well as Texas, New Mexico,
Art lone, California and other parts of
the southwestern end of the United
States, belonged- to Spain at that time,
although In many parts of that region
the Insurrections were under, way which
resulted in their separation from the par
ent country. , .
Manifestly, 1812 was a year of world
shaking convulsions. Directly or indi
rectly almost every country on the globe
waa affected by them. The references
to them which nave been and are being
made by newspapers "from St Peters
burg, Paris, Madrid and London to New
Tork, St Louis and San Francisco remind
the world that our own age .haa no
ground for boasting about the wonderful
things which it haa seen. Half way be
tweeen 1812 and 1912 stands a year in
which some Important contributions to
history were made, although theae con
cerned the United States chiefly. This
waa 1862. Beginning with the battle of
Mill Spring on January 19, including
operations at Forts Henry and Donelson,
Hampton Roads, . Shiloh, New Orleans,
the Chickahominy-Jamea Peninsula, the
second Bull Run, Antietam, Corinth and
other places, and ending with Fredericks
burg and Stone River, 1912, Is, or will be,
the semi-centenary of events whose in
fluence every American feels to this hour.

Area war mad Snbway Tax
OMAHA, Oct a-To the Editor of The
Bee: In all the discussion about area
and aubway taxing, I have never seen a
question raised concerning the ownership
of the thing proposed to be taxed, and
of the rights of the city and of the prop
erty holder therein, ! "
The ownership is of two kinds. In on
the city la the owner of the fee, and the
property owner haa acquired certsln
easements, of which the city" cannot de
prive him, except by the exercse ot tne
right of eminent domain, condemnation
proceedings and payment of value to
property holders. Those easementa exist
on the aurface of the streets, and also
under them. Any good lawyer will find
In the decisions of the courts plenty of
cases that will define just what these
easement are.
Another kind of ownership Is where the
property holder has dedicated the street
to the use of the public retained the fee
-giving the public an easement for pas
sage over and under the surface foi
water, gas. etc. These rights, it will be
found, the courts have largely "deter
mined and defined.' v
It will be well that the city authorities
before they embark In this scheme-
have this looked Into and know where
they stand.

A Pl for the Deaf.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 9,-To the Editor
ot The Bee:' an article headed "Dwyer
Opposed to Purchase of Land for the
Deaf Students" baa been printed here over
the name of T. O. Dwyer, 'one of the
board of trustees of the Nebraska School
for the Deaf at Omaha. His opposition
to the proposed purchase of the land ad
joining the present school site Is based
on the roughnesa of the land. He seems
to be greatly Influenced by a scheme that
In buying land out In the country some
where possibly isolated the school might
be made nearly self-supporting.
It dci not seem to matter much that
par o theee particular fifteen acres are
rich in soil ,aa the ground can be made
beautiful Just the earn and the surround
!nm of the deaf children should be made
as beautiful as we can possibly make
them. . -' -
The present site ot the school Is a good
location, and most of the building there
on are all right and It cannot be of any
advantage to the children to be Isolated
In the country, where It would be more
difficult to meet .them frequently. .The
more we allow them to mix with us the
better for their , future developments.
Nothing surely can be gained by setting
them off to themselves somewhere. Let
ua not look so much to trying to make
this school self-supporting as to the
mental progress and enlightenment of
our children. . , ,
Do we ever figure on making any of
our regular achoola self-supportlngT No,
On the contrary. .we cannot do. enough
for them. I am proud of Nebraska. So
are you. Therefore let us be all the mere
optimistic In our views and our allow
ance toward tWa worthy school for the
deaf at Omaha, and let us make It one
of the best In this country. I know your
conscience agree with me. Let Nebraska
do It best FRANK FALBAUM.

A Conclusive Arsrnment.
CLINTON, la., Oct 8.-T0 the Editor of
The Bee: In man's effort to be right,
what law will stand the test for a base?
Inasmuch as great harm comes from
wrong laws, first consider, with the
writer, the natural laws, the obligations
resting on man - to reason, to determine
right from wrong; truth, to avoid decep
tion of one another; equity, to withhold
taking from one another without respect
to the right ot the other. Those three
vital principles used together, being nat
ural laws, will test the correctness lot
any subject pertaining to civil control of
man. .
AU constitutions and all law must con
cede natural laws, obligation and prac
tice. Why not nominate and elect all
officers by popular vote, with recall for
cause, to be determined by that vote
without party lines T Then our republlo
will be - a fact, our citizen's vote un
bridled and sovereignty lodged in the citi
zens instead of In officials. That Is a
republlo. Civil and moral control will
echo around the globe to develop the
human race. . It will cost less to live, and
life will have fewer burdens. The leader,
ship and the press of the past were un
fair, and the obligations of the natural
law were right all the time. It haa fallen
to the people of the twentieth century to
light the globe. , As citizen we should
teach citizenship in all achoola which con
form to the obligations of natural law.
There cannot be civil and moral people
unless natural laws, which are adapted
to a civil and moral people, are kept
Now is the opportunity to review. Ev
eryone Is wondering where to begin.
