UniTenal Affinitj.
General Miles' view that a war of all Europe
would eventually prove an agency of world peace
because "Through Its devastation and bloodshed
It would demonstrate the wisdom of a parlia
ment of reason and Justice to settle Interna
tlonal controversies," will find agreement In
many sober minds. The reason for his faith Is
that It will be the last great war the world will
see.
The paramount lesson of the present situa
tion Is the universal affinity of nations. There
is the Triple Alliance binding together Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Italy, the Triple Entente
uniting Russia, France and Great Britain.
Rervla's support from Russia and lesser powers
comes through blood kin. But the ram If lea
tlons do not cease. Holland, Belgium and
Switzerland assemble their troops for self
protection; Norway, Sweden and Denmark on
general principles.
Then over the seas Japan stands at attention
for the possible call from Britain in accordance
with their agreement to aid each other If at
tacked by two or more powers. Even China is
In peril, yet here enters the United States, an
unwilling participant as the bounden friend of
the new republic, In the rapacity of guardian.
Bo two hemispheres are Involved. Canada, on
this side,, Is, of course, supporting its Mother
Country. '
And finance, diplomacy and commerce every
where are gravely affected. Why Is it that the
great twentieth century of matchless genius has
not turned this Intimacy of Interrelationship,
this universal affinity. Irrevocably to the perma
nence of peace Instead of the advantage of war
to the promotion of brotherhood Instead of
the vengeance of selfishness?
. .... , . Keeping the City Beautiful.
.. Why. not put. the stress on "keeping" In
stead of "making" Omaha a city beautiful? We
have a beautiful, a very beautiful city, as, of
course, our "city beautiful" advocates realise.
Omaha is made beautiful In the first place, by
Its natural topography, Its broad, well lald-out,
paved and richly shaded streets; its attractive
homes and their artistic surroundings and its
lovely parks.
The combined efforts of publio authorities
and private cltisens to promote the beaaty and
attractiveness of the city are indeed commend
able, but for the sake of doing ourselves full
justice and avoiding false Impressions abroad,
would It not be better to emphasize the idea of
keeping' this the beautiful city that it IsT
, , That "Obey" Clause.
v. , If the so-called feminist movement Is, as rep
resented, responsible for this hurrah against the
"obey" clause in the' marriage vow, It is likely
to lose cast to a very great extent with sober
minded folk. That would be too bad, for there
,1s ; always some good to be subserved In our
day, and age and land by a movement that claims
for Its purpose the continued advancement of
the cause of womanhood. .
Thin protest against woman submitting to
the, In J unction to "obey" her husband rests, as
we understand It, on the claim for freedom for
the woman equal to that for man. Freedom cer
tainly should be equally divided between them.
Hut what la it that renunciation of this ancient
clause .shall Tree woman from? 'The Continent,
in a treatment of "The Woman Question," ob
serves: ........
Chiefly, there la rebellion aaalnat marriaae vows
which on solemn promise before Almighty God lnd
a woman to give her love and devotion to one man
and his children until . death do . them part. For,
of course, such an obligation accepted and kept
prohibits love from deserting tha home which Is
founded thereon. Lova so bound must stand santry
continually acalnat tha home's enemies, faithful to
its watch until life's sunset. And thla to the ex
treme feminist of current times Immersed In her
sentimental fog-clouda, carries tha aspect of slav
ery. She rails upon it aa repression of personality,
limitation of self -expression and much such archaio
gush- ,
Women who In the ages gone have taken
this vow and "lived happily ever afterward," as
they say oa the stage, of course, have no com
plaint to make of It. The complaint Is made
by women' who have not taken it, but are ex
pecting or hoping to have occasion to. Their
views of it must, of necessity, be more or less
theoretical, not even experimental; certainly aot
worth as much as those of the women who
have lived and reared families by ' the vow.
With all due deference to the good women,
is not this Just another reflection of the mis
taken idea that in a general sense, restraint
and freedom cannot go together, a delusion
that .makes liberty license? It Is a crass notion,
surely, that duty may be met by evading It.
All have natural obligations to which they con
tinue bound, despite any self-contrived , phil
osophy that Justifies such easy-going irrespon-.
slbility as would shift the I burden from the
shoulders on which it belongs, to others.

' "It is man's wont to conceive an 'absurdly
exaggerated view of his own importance, and too
often forget what an exceedingly insignificant
little creature he really Is," writes the learned
Bishop Vaughn of London, In one of his many
Illuminating books. 'He Introduces a chapter of
It : under the title, "The Riddle of Life." with
the foregoing quotation from Lord Lytton.
1 Man Is puny, but also puissant. Humility is a
conquering force, provided It Is coupled up with
other forces. The ego Is In us all and sometimes
makes us garrulous and absurd. Yet man needs
to know that he Is pulssaat quite as much aa
that he is puny. He is the king of creatures,
"made In the image of God." He came forth
with a mission to subdue all things. He must
blate the way for i civilisation, convert forests
and plains into cities, rear states, build empire.
solve the mysteries of science.. He must link
continents together, put tha people of one hem
isphere la speaking distance with those of an
other. He must harness the rivers, torrents and
cataracts, so that they shall supply the power
for propelling the engines of 'ndustry and com
merce. He must catch the currents of the air and
thread them Into electric dynamos to drive great
plants, to light streets and houses and supply
a thousand needs of human progress. Maa
must apply the genius of his intellect to letters,
to law, to Invention, to art, in such a way as to
articulate tbe crude potentialities of earth, air,
water and sky with the everyday necessities of
an ever-expanding and demanding world.
This all takes a sense of one's importance.
The boy wants to understand tbe difference be
tween an Intelligent appreciation of his real
powers and an Idiotic egotism, which carries
him past all possibility of making any good use
of those he possesses. "Know thyself!" It Is
the quest of the sages of every age. Happy the
man who finds his real powers and worth and
fortunate the cycle with the men who know
how to apply them. It takes a lot of daring to
conquer the problems of a daring time, but al
ways the puissant mind of man has met the test.
Italy at a Possible Wedge.
Europe begins a new. week armed to the
teeth. Every preparation has been made for
war by most nations, even to the issuing of ulti
matums and the arrangement of their diplo
matic affairs in other countries. Germany has
honored Uncle Sam with its monttorshlp In
France, and we do not depreciate the signifi
cance of It.
. Tet hopes of peace are expressed. King
George pleads at St Petersburg, even the kaiser,
despite his twelve-hour order and window
speech, has his ambassador ready to accept the
csar's agreement for no war. Bat the resound
ing clang ot mobilizing troops breaks In on the
murmur of voices. Small hopes' are expressed
in European capitals.
But Italy has balked.- As expected, the
lingering effects ot the Tripoli campaign make
it anxious for peace. It gets around Its Triple
Alliance obligations by explaining that It re
gards the actions of its allies, Germany and Aus
tria, as aggressive war, which lets Italy out un
der the agreement.
Austria seems alarmed by the decision.
Evidently Italy's position Is not without sup
port. If so, what of the binding effect either
of the Triple Alliance or the Triple Entente?
If Italy persists in this decision, reports say
Austria will let down on its original resolution
for war to the bitter end. "Necessity is the
mother of Invention," they say. Maybe it ex
plains the case of Italy, but no matter, If it
serves to avert this threatened slaughter It will
be justified.
One Good Plank But Why Wait?
The so-called platform put out for the hand
picked candidates of the water marked legislative
slate contains one good plank to which The Bee
would gladly subscribe so far aa new legislation
Is necessary to accomplish the purpose. The
plank reads as follows:
We favor the paaeave of laws placing all city
and county officials on a salary basia. and providing
that all fees and emoluments of such officers shall
be turned Into the treasury and that prisoners In tha
county Jail shall be fed by the sheriff as the agent
of the county, without profit to himself.
We say we would subscribe to this plank
to tbe extent that new legislation is necessary
to accomplish the purpose, whose necessity,
however, . we very . much doubt so far as the
most flagrant offenses of fee grabbing are con
cerned. The law which now fixes the salary ot tha
sheriff contemplates that he account for, and
turn in, all the other receipts and emoluments
of his office.
The law which now prescribes the generous
compensation of the district court clerk like
wise intended to have him cover into the treas
ury all the revenues coralng Into his hands by
virtue ot his official position.
So why should any honest man wait for new
laws to compel public thieves to disgorge?
What la stopping Sheriff McShane or District
Court Clerk Robert Bmlta from turning In the
fees they are trying to get away with under
eover ot hair-splitting legal technicalities?
What kind ot a fake reformer is It that helps
write such a platform plank with his pocketa
at that very moment lined with fees by right
belonging to the taxpayers?
When the Tourist Traffic Trembles.
' la its commercial aspects, one of the first
things Europe has to dread from the threatened
war is the stoppage of the American tourist
travel. ' Cessation ot this travel right in the
height of the season is for many killing the
goose that lays the golden egg. No estimate
places the number of Americans abroad for rest,
recreation and study at less than 150,000, and
the correct figure is more probably nearer twice
this number. Catering to the American tourist
Is an established industry in every continental
country, and almost the sole Industry la many
watering places and health resorts. Of course,
visitor trora abroad cannot all get home at
once, but the exodus which has already set In Is
bound 'to continue unless pesce . efforts prove
successful, and the usual substitution of new
comers will fall to materialize. The occasion
etDphaBtxes the tremendous dimensions to which
the. tourist traffic has attained, and, what its
sudden disturbance or interruption means.

Rtokely S. Fisher In Collier's:
O, -eome with mel Should the daisy chalk.
Be woven only by youthful lovers?
Where richly the white and the red
bloom covers ..-.
The shaded shore and the sunny WMh
, Where the great hawk sails and tha
kingbird hovers,
O, come with me!
We'll take the babies and play with them:
And dally the whole of the day with
them ;
We'll f rollo and elng and ' be gay wlti
them. .
Bohemians on the lea!
Come, smack the delight of the vagabon4
. free
In clothee of comfort, wtth mind to be
merry ! - v
We'll smell the flower end .taste the
berry
Where floats the butterfly, feasts thel bee.
And catch the spirit of wild birds airy,
Their secret of Joy!
Oh. ramble once more abroad once more
with me.
To read the poems of God with me
In fields that of old you trod with me.
Where pleasures cannot cloy!
Come, truant from care, to the tenting
trees.
No gypsy more Joyous, no child heart
bolder!
Oh, to roam, oh to rest your head on
my shoulder.
In pictured reveries wrapped and at ease
Forget we are poorer, forget we- are
older.
From the world apart!
Where love wove Its blossomy chain for
us.
And bullded the castles in Spain for us.
There is gladness and Infinite gain tof
us.
There still Is the rest for the heart!
