A Mutual Interest
Judging from the preparations, "Omaha
day" will doubtless prove to be one of the red
letter days of the state fair this year, as It
should be every year. The plan of Bending a
delegation from the metropolis on one particu
lar day tends to make our Interest more definite
and renter the attention of other cities and
towns on the state's big annual exposition. The
"Omaha day" Idea Is a good one, too, for the
reason that it enables Omaha to manifest its
good will for Lincoln, which reciprocates in
turn by Its delegations to our Ak-Sar-Den fes
tivities. True, neither the fair nor Ak-Rar-Ben Is to
be considered a local Institution; on the con
trary both belong to the whole state, yet each
Is held necesnartly where local pride naturally
and properly claims a special Interest. So the
two cities rightly feel the sentiment of mutual
Interest In these exchanges of visits, which we
are sure Is equally gratifying to our friends
throughout the state.
Not a Valid Objection.
Discussing the short ballot proposal, several
state newspapers seem to fear that transform
ing offices now elective Into appointive places
will to that extent deprive the people of their
power of self-government. The objection is
made that vesting the governor with authority
to name the heads of administrative depart
ments Is a tremendous concentration of power
at the expense of the voters. This Is the old
question of direct or representative government
the same argument would require us to
choose the president's cabinet officers by popu
lar vote, and, carried to Its logical end, would
require us to elect every person In the public
service.
As a matter of fact, however, the people of
Nebraska have gone on record, when they last
bad the opportunity to express themselves, as
against elective administration officers even at
the Increase of the governor's responsibilities.
The last time we amended our state constitution
we created a new board of control to take
charge of all reformatory and charitable Insti
tutions, the members of this most Important
board being appointed by the governor for six
years that Is, for terms overlapping the terms
of three governors. When that amendment
was In course of adoption no one, so far as we
recall, seriously suggested that the board 'of
control be made elective, or that In making
these places appointive the people were being
deprived of self-government.
Theoretically, . every public servant should
be the choice of the people he serves, but in
practice this choice must be Indirect by leaving
the selection of subordinates to the responsible
executive heads of the government. So it be
comes a question merely of where the line shall
be drawn. The present tendency everywhere la
to restrict elective officers to those that have
the determination of policies of government,
and to authorize them to appoint their admin
istrative assistants subject to accountability for
efficiency and results.

An Opening for Home Missionary Work.
A large delegation of representative busi
ness men from Chile is to tour the United
States early In 1915, coming by way of the Pan
ama, and Chteago-and doubtless other cities;
Is preparing to entertain the visitors on a very
elaborate scale. They will, of course, be shown
every attractive feature in and about Chicago,
then escorted In a special train to some of the
eastern cities, with a view of Impressing them
with the magnitude and stability of our busi
ness Interests, as well as our country and Its life
in general.
Here la an opportunity, It seems to us, for
Omaha to get in a little home. missionary work,
itself. Why not see to It that these distin
guished Chileans visit our city and state? If
we could not offer sufficient inducement our
selves to bring the special excursion here, we
might do so by joining hands with other neigh
boring cities. Certainly the greatest section of
the middle west empire must not be seen only
from the car windows of a fast-moving train.
The travelera will go to San Francisco for the
exposition and should be detained here either
going or coming for a thorough inspection of
our Industries and resources.
Backing- Tip On the Tariff.
Our amiable democratic contemporary Is
quoting ths republican platform of 191 J to
Justify the failure of the democratic tariff to re
deem the democratic promise to reduce the high
cost of living. But the democrats during the
campaign denied both the premise and the con
clusion of the republican platform and stood on
their own declaration that the protective tariff
waa to blame for high prices. It what the re
publicans said Is to be accepted now, then the
democrats are admitting that they sought and
obtained votes by false pretenses. '
The democrata in their platforms time and
again have charged that the protective tariff
was responsible, not only for high living cost,
but also for trusts and combinations in restraint
of trade. But we have had a democratic tariff
for more than a year without either appreciably
reducing prices or noticeably Interfering with
the trusts that were supposed to be thriving
only because of the enjoyment of protective
duties. There is Just one thing for the demo
crats to do, and that is to admit frankly that
their position on the tariff has all along been
mistaken and has been proved by events to be
untenable.
This Is the top of the twentieth century, but
remember just the same, that millions of people
scattered all over the earth's surface do not yet
know a mighty war Is In progress, and a large
part of them will llvs and die and never hear
of It
It is expected to take one year to value the

Topics of the War
Whf They Went to War.
New Tork Independent.
The British and Oerman white papers, giving tha
diplomatic correspondence that preceded the war. have
been made public. Prom these It appears that the
various nations Involved went to war for the following
reasons (accepting each natron s statement of Its own
rase):
Austria: Because Pervla would hot permit Austrian
officials to tske part In Investigations In Servla Into
the responsibility of Servians for the murder of the
Austrian crown prlnca anad princess.
Hervla. Because upon Its refusal to accede to this
demanad of Austria n the ground that It would be
sacrificing its own sovereignty, and In splta of Its
proposal to leave the matter to arbllrat'on, Austria
attacked It.
Russia: Because Austria waa making war upon
Bervla.
Germany: Because Russia declined to cease mobilis
ing Ita army a mobilisation which Germany believed
waa directed at itself aa well as at Ita ally, Austria.
France: Because Ita ally, Russia, waa attacked oy
Oermapy.
Belgium: Because Ita neutral territory, whoee neu
trality was guaranteed by a treaty signed by Germany,
waa Invaded by German arms.
England: Because Germany had violated the treaty
guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium, of which both
Germany and England were signers.
Japan: Because Its treaty with England bound It to
Join with England when tha peace of the Far East
waa threatened. 1
The Impartial historian will some day know how to
apportion tha final responsibility for the great war
among the nations that entered It. We now merely
report what each nation has to aay for Itself.
"German Bretallty."
George Sylvester Vlereck in Fatherland.
Among a thousand men, there are Invariably two
or three brutes. Thla la true of tha English no less
than of tha Belgians and of tha French; It la true. In
a lesser degree, of the Germane, for the Iron discipline
of the German army visits heavy penalties upon the
soldier who Inflicts Injuries upon harmless non-combatants.
If Germany destroyed Louvaln It did ao because the
non-combatants In that city attacked German soldiers.
The Belgian story that tha German soldiers shot at
themselves la too absurd to receive credence. We can
not conceive of a German army auddenly turning its
guns against Itself. Tha destruction of Louvaln waa
an act of humanity, for It will teach other non-combatants,
wherever they may be, to keep their guna
out of their hands. In New York the possession of
firearms la a misdemeanor even In tlmea of peace.
In war tha possession or the use of firearms by non
combatants la an offense Justly punishable with death.
The penalty of Louvaln will save tha lives of women
and children, aa well as the art treasures, of other
cities In Belgium and In France, for It Is a lesson that
will be remembered.
But tha atory printed In papers of German soldiers
wantonly killing little children, shooting ' nurses, or
hacking off tha arm of an old peasant woman who
merely stretched out her hand to bid them god-apeed,
la a He, and Ita publication In this country Is nothing
short of a crime. If 'It could ba proved, wa would be
willing to atop at ones the publication of "Tha Father
land." But we will not accept the testimony of hys
terical women and frightened children, filtered through
English channels.
The German government, too -proud to deny such
dastardly atorlea officially, has mad It possible for
American correspondents to laveatlgata for themselves
tha reports of German cruelty to Belgians. Meanwhile,
wa of German blood and affiliation, stake our 'own
stainless record in this country 'and the record of
German-Americana In tha Civil war upon the presump
tion of German Innocence. Are wa Ilka wild beasts
and have our kinsman who fought our battles, stained
tha flag of tha Union with the blood of Infants? It
not, then why believe the monstrous assertion that our
brothers are guilty of crimes that would make even
Caligula blush.
Make It tha Lut War.
Leslie's Weekly.
It is said that the terrlflo struggle In Europe will
settle nothing; that If Germany wins and levies Its
tribute of gold and territory, the subjugated nations
will bide their time until strong enough to seek re
venge; that if tha allies win Germany, humbled In
tha dust, will not forget Its conquerors and when it
gathera renewed strength will call them to severe ac
count. This should not be.
When the terrible struggle has ended. It should end
In accord with tha civilisation of tha Twentieth cen
tury. -The natlona who are at each other's throats
are not the only sufferers. Tha world la In tears
and anguish, and the world should unite, at tha cloaa
of the war, and Insist on one Imperative demand In
the Intereata of the world's future welfare. That de
mand should be for a pledge on the part of every com
batant that It will disarm.
In this great century of civilisation and Christian
ity, tha war In Europe la an Insult to both. But what
shall wa say If, at Its awful chose. It shall teach no
leaaon and leave men and women no better than they
were when the carnage began?
Let ua have peace throughout the world. Wa can
never have It as long aa arsenals and battleships are
of greater consequence to a nation than churches and
school houses.
Peace can be commanded In one way, and that Is
by refusing to purchase the war bonds of the manu
factured products of any nation that will not con
sent to a general disarmament.
A a Imperial Gamble.
Wall Btreet Journal.
It must strike those familiar with the national game
of draw poker that tha German emperor Is betting all
ha can get together on a single hand. Ha thinks that
tha rapture of Parts would have the same moral effect
upon the world that It did In 1&T1. For thla reason his
beat troops are concentrated on that single objective.
These troops, moreoter, amounting to many hundred
thousand men. have been directed, with a rabid hatred
not shown elsewhere, against tha little British army
on the left flank of tha allies, which numbered 1M000
men at the start. It probably doea not number mora
than W.0OO now. But It is still an army. If It waa bad
tactics for the French to Invade Alsace at the opening
of tha war, what la this terrlflo sa orifice of German
Uvea, to satisfy an obsession of rancor which bUnds
tha kaiser to tha Russians, beating on tha gates of
Berlin?
A glance at tha map of Franca will ahow that tha
part which contains Parts Is but . a small portion.
Franca Is not conquered. But every minute .and every
soldier wasted In tha attempt to Invest Paris spells
ruin to Germany. If Paris were captured, the world
would not be Impressed. Tha British fleet still keeps
tha seas. The brilliant counter-stroke of the German
navy flssled out at the first attempt The far-famed
Zeppelins look suspiciously like a bluff. They axe tj
drop bombs down tha funnels of tha British battle
ships. Unless there la soma way of hypnotising a
British battleship, not yet disclosed, thla sounds Ilka
putting salt on a bird's tall.
And what la tha uaa of all this? To secure his' dy
nasty, this hippodrome Frederick, thla padded Napo
leon, eaa gamble with the Uvea of millions of men as
counters, better than himself, braver, and Incompar
ably more useful. Tha reflection upon modern civilisa
tion, the exhibit of thla war of "culture acalnat bar
barism." Is perhaps the moat astounding thing tha
world has ever seen. The kaiser la Ilka a dog with a
stick of dynamite tied to Its tatl. Tou can neither
stop It nor let It run. but at least the explosion will
dispose of he dog.
To revert to the first simile, tha kaiser Is bluffing
ea a pair of kings, against tha world's full hand.

Reaalts of the PssKsnsrsn War.
OMAHA. Sept. .-To the Kdltor of The
Bee: It la too early to prophesy results
of the struggle now going on In Europe,
but one can at least express his wishes.
If Germany is victorious. It will mean
tne continuance of militarism for another
generation, perhnps for a century, the
annexation of Luxemburg, Belgium and
Holland to the German empire, the reten
tion of Alraca and Lorraine, and perhaps
tha absorption of Russian Poland. This
will give It the entire aeacoast frontln?
the British Isles and make it a formid
able competitor of Great Britain for
ocean aupremacy. It will give Germany
the hegemony, not only of Europe, but of
Aj-la, Africa and South America as well.
It will set the pace (or the civilization
nt the next century.
If Germany Is defeated, it will sound
tha death knell of militarism and the
divine right of kings. It will secure Hol
land, Belgium and Luxemburg their In
dependence and restore Alsace and
Lorraine to France. It will certainly se
cure the Independence of Hungary, Bo
hemia and the little kingdoms of Monte
negro, Hersegovlna, Bosnia and Bervla.
If Turkey should participate In the war,
It would be allotted In the final adjudica
tion to Greece or Bulgaria. The unnat
ural alliance, now enforced to maintain
tha balance of power, will be dissolved,
and people, long oppressed by the ambi
tion of the Romanoffs. Hapsburgs and
Jlohenxollerns. will naturally ally them
selves according to race, language, re
ligion and natural affinity.
Nearly one-half of the German people
are socialists, thoroughly tired of Caesar
Ism and want the fatherland to become i
republic. When they see the awful cost
of this unjustifiable war the other half
will want a republic also. Tha German
people are too Intelligent and too great
to be ruled much longer by a despot.
The consent of the governed and not the
divine right of royal birth will be the
basis of authority. D. C. JOHN.

The Irish "Volunteers.
OMAHA, Bept. . To the Editor of The
Bee: Borne few weeks ago we referred
to Mr. "Redmond's apecch in the House
of Commons and allowing that It waa
entirely "patriotic" and "eminently statea
manllke.f' and that It opened up great
possibilities of a union of Irish forces; of
an understanding between members of
opposed political camps: of the emergency
of a feeling of common nationality. The
situation Is, however, not without Its
dangers. This war, which has Involved
the powers of Europe In a death struggle
1 not of Ireland's making. Ireland had
nothing to do with tha outbreak of war.
E8BBE
Like any other nation the Irish are pre
' pared to defend Its shores against for
eign invasion, especially if It be of an
unfriendly character. We do not want
a multiplicity of enemies In Ireland. We
have the English there already and as
far as wa know, there la no absolute
guarantee aa to what attitude Germany
would adopt towarda the Irish. If we
were under German Jurisdiction we could
not be more barbarously treated than
we have been under the diabolical yoke
of Britain for the last 500 years.
It behooves the national volunteers to
be on their guard. Tha national move
ment must not be sidetracked. The
national volunteers exist for the defense
of Ireland. Unionist warriors Joining the
organisation should be given to recognise
that despite their ability to pay large
subscriptions, they are not to be allowed
to domlpate tha movement. Tha volun
teers should proceed at once to appoint
their offlcera and .to complete their or
ganisation. Now that a crisis of great
magnitude has arisen It has suddenly
been discovered that tha national volun
teers are an Imperial asset.
When the present crisis la over the
Irish question will remain, and our In
terests should be In Ireland first, last
and all time. And the attitude of the
Irish National Volunteers and their sup
porters should be the strictest neutrality
and above all not to lend either its moral,
physical or Intellectual support to a coun
try which has been Its oppressor for B0J
yeara. Again I repeat. "England's diffi
culty is Ireland's opportunity.''

Danish Arratsraaaeat of Germaay.
OMAHA, Sept. .-To the Editor of Tha
Bee: In The Bee I found that one "J."
criticises Hans Neil sen's previous Insert
calling It a foolish letter. I do not think
It Is. I believe that he expressed the
wish of almost all civilised people that
Germany should be defeated In this war.
No man who haa thla country's welfare
at heart can sympathise with a govern
ment that violates every treaty and ob
ligation made with other nations. It Is
the Germans grabbing after land that la
tha cause of tha war.
I remember how In tha war Denmark
had with Germany In 1S48-49-50, It under
some pretext triad to rob Denmark of Ita
land, but failed then and one of the
German generals attempted to war-tax
Jylland for $1,000,000, the same aa now In
Belgium. But tha Russian emperor told
the Germans to leave tha country at once,
or ha would send hla array into Prussia,
and they left Denmark.
Under false pretense the same coun
tries brought war upon Denmark tn
and took Sleavlg, Hoisteln and Lauen
borg. Aa Prussia wanted to keep the
conquered landa it went to war In ISM
against Austria. Hannover and other
German states and defeated the Hann
overaaa In the battle of Langensalxa
and annexed that kingdom. In the battle
of Sadowa Auatrla lost, and that decided
tha fata of tha land taken from Den-1
mark. By the influence of Emperor Na
poleon It was as reed in the peace treaty
at Prague that tha northern part of
Blesvlg by tha vote of their people should
go back to Denmark, but thla Prussia
never permitted. V. violated thla agree
ment Juat as I. does now with tha
neutrality of Belgium.
The Danish talking people in Sleavlg
have In mary waya been troubled and
harassed by thla autocratic government;
their old-time Danish language la almost
forbidden outside of their homes; they
roust not sing their dear old Danish
eouga To visit tha battlefields where
the
their father and brothers offered their
lives for their country is hardly per
mitted and decorating the graves with
red and white flowers or -f the red
and white colors otherwise la considered
a trims subject to arrest and fine.
In the run of years thousands of Dan
lh people have been driven out of their
homes, many put In rrlton for not leav
ing ths country; thousands left volun
tary rather than stand the tyranlcal rule
of. tha Prussians. In their assembly
house, gymnasium and other meeting
plHres the gendames are there and even
the Danish churches are molested. This
describes only In part the way the people
In Blesvlg are treated by a nation who
claims to be the most civilised country
In the world. Can anyone blame tha
Danes for wishing that the Oermans
would be defeated in this war? H. F. J.
Shall Women Vnte.f
BRADSHAW. Neb., fcept. .-To the
Editor of The Bee: I have read much
that has been said, pro and coh, on the
subject of equal suffrage and have noted
that those who are In opposition never
get very cloae to the real vitality of the
question, but make a wide detour around
the vital parte, bringing many things
to detract the reader's attention that are
neither relevant or germane. The ques
tion the voters of Nebraska muat decide
at the polls In November, Is not whether
women will abolish the saloon; the houses
of prostitution and many other evils
men have failed to successfully cope
with for many years, but whether she
shall have a right to vote upon these
questions, as well as all other questions
that affect tha home and the welfare,
happiness and prosperity of our state
and nation. Therefore, I plead with the
voters not to allow the more Interesting
but less Important Issues of personal or
party politics to crowd thla righteous
question from their minds. This question
Is of more vital Importance to the whole
people of the state than that of electing
a governor, for on the question of suf
frage hangs that still more Important
question of who shall help name future
governors, senators and congressmen.
