Omaha's Steady Improvement. !
Those who make their autumnal visits to
Omaha during the Ak-ftar-Ben fcsMvsl must he
impressed each year with some pew and dis
tinctive object of attraction dVnotlng the city's
progroes and improvement. This year one of
the rhlef points of Interest Is the beautifully
completed court' house grounds, which grestly
enhance the sightliness of the building Itself.
Next fall Indeed, long before our fine new
hotel will be challenging the admiration of our
friends, even ss the finished etterior ha done
this fall. And In the meantime vsrlous business
snd banking houses, with the Scottish Rite tem
ple and perhaps the Grain exchange, will bare
been finished and octupted, all marking mile-
posta in Omaha's uninterrupted forward march.
Describing Kansaa City recently a Collier's
writer said building and growth were In the
very air. So it is with Omaha, where the at
mosphere is surcharged with the spirit of better
conditions that must impart a good Impression
to every observant visitor. And while we are
building and strengthening Omaba'a commer
cial and Industrial bulwarks we are not over
looking less visible Improvements that tend to
raise the physleai. mental and moral level, and
to make Omaha a better place In which to live
and visit.
. The railroad atock argument against water
transportation la that It Is too slow to meet the
demands of our rapid-transit age. The Kansas
City Star reports the delivery of a cargo of
coffee at the municipal wharf 1 there exactly
fifty-nine days after loading the ship In Braill,
which Is not so bad.
That Ninety Per Cent Fake.
Tha fact rtts'lnaed by the Fremont Trimmer
that Judjre Imllarrheck In the nonpartisan Judicial
primary polled per cent of all the votes cast In
his judicial district ( a fact ao notable aa to at
tract ft-eneml attention. World-Herald.
This would be Important If true, but, of
course, it Is not true. The World-Herald would
easily have discovered the flaw In it had It not
been blinded by Its democratic partisanship in
this nonpsrtissn Judicial contest. Judge Hol
lenbeck is on the bench of the Blxth Judldsl dis
trict, made up of six counties, whose votes ap
pear aa follow in the tabulation of the official
canvass:

hut not for Judsa .10
Hollanbeck'a per cent of "all votea cast- In his
own district" 7 S
A little figuring will show that Judge Hol
lenbeck In his own Judicial district polled 5,256
votes, as against 2,701 for his opponents, or 66
per cent Instead of 90 per rent of the total Ju
dicial ballot. In the state as a whole the vote
for supreme court candidates fell short of the
vote for governor 15 per cent, so that, apply
ing this ratio to the Blxth Judicial district. Judge
Hollenbeck received not 10 per cent, but only
67.5 per cent of all the votes cant in his district.
The showing msde by Judge Hollenbeck In
the Judicial district where he resides Is indeed
complimentary, but likewise Is the showng made
by Chief Justice Reese in the Judicial district
where be resides, and where he polled nearly
three votes to every on cast for Judge Hollen
beck. In' his home Judicial district. Chief Jus
tice Reese received over 60 per cent of the total
vote cast for Judicial candidates, which Is some
thing of a compliment too.
Let it be remembered, moreover, that In the.
state aa a whole, notwithstanding the democratic
massing of their votes in total disregard of the
nonpartisan Ides, Judge Iteese led them ( all,
which means that the people appreciate his ex
ceptional service in his high office and are ready
to endorse his record. The very fact that his
opponents find It necessary tsvresort to that 90
per cent fake testifies to the atrength of Chief
Justice Reese.

The Associated Press dispatch from London
telling of the loss of. 144 British officers
killed, wounded or missing and adding that
as aucceaslon must now come from the ranks
the war will have the effect of democratising the
British army, baa a greater significance than
thla, because it applies to all the warring na
tions. ......
"War is a biological necessity," rays General
Frederlch von Bernhardt in his "Germany and
the Next War." written under date of 1911
But the author would, we Imagine, have diffi
culty In bringing Germany., England, France,
Russia, Belgium, Austria and other powers to
that view today, even If he, himself, could ac
cept it. Europe's chief loss In this war Is not
invaluable work of art, trade or industry, al
though part of this be Irreparable; It la not
ruined citleanor devastated fields, nor shat
tered financial systems. It is In the slsughter
of It best sons, the perfection of Its cltisenship,
which no one, we fancy, will regard as a biologi
cal necessity.
Her is a dispatch from Pari telling of the
glorious manhood of the British-Indian troops.
"Scarcely a man is short of six feet in stature,
It aaya, "and many are giants." Those who
hav remained at home in India or will be there
when the last draft la made for recruits, we msy
be sure will not be the gianta. W read of how
Lord Kitchener "hammers 'em down, hammers
'em down," In the crucible through which he
puts the Briton to test his fitness tor the front.
No weakling wanted. The breadllner and the
parasites of higher society have the best chance
of escaping military service and staying at home
8urely, by this time, no on accepts that fals
notion of old that war la needed to harden the
manhood of nations or thin out their population.
The nations of Europe undoubtedly will feel tb
effect of their sacrifices in human blood for
generatlona to come.

Aa the Balkan statra are to the near emit, Belgium
la to the weet the cockpit of warring kXropean nations.
For the ccnd time in sixty day It holds the center
of Intercut In the war, with Antwerp a the objective
of German assault. It la more than I.JO ycare since
the foundlnc of Antwerp, and It has become one of the
most Important er"rte of Kurope, with merchant
prlocea rivaling thoeo of Venlc and Onnoa. For hun
dred of veers, with ooraslonal checks by reason of
wars. It haa been the principal seaport of all that
region of Kunope, thousands of vesiiela arriving and
departing every year. It suffered greatly In the ttM
days of Spain's dominance. The whole history of the
city la blood-curdling up to the time of Napoleon,
and It la a curious fact that Napoleon, recog
nising the aplendld possibilities of the wonderful
harbor, restored docks and quays and did much to
revive the old glory o( Antwerp. Aaaln It Is a curious
fact that In 1874 the city had differences with tho Bel
gian government which almost amounted to war. and
the citadel, jnn years old, wa blown up In the presence
of King Leopold IT.
If, however, the great city of the present, more
than flno In population, the capital f the province
of Antwerp, with a population of around 1 Ono.nrw, g to
have tha fata of Uf. Tjouvaln and other-cities, the

Iternrda of Awfat Flaht.
The archive of every olty In Belgium Brussels,
Antwerp and the lesser cities era crarrtmed with rec
ords of awful fights. Take, for ensmrle, SfaeMrecht.
Tn fOO years, between the ninth snd fifteenth centurlea,
It was taken and plundered six times. In the war with
Spain, during a period of fifty-three years. It waa
sucoeealvely bealegel by the Spaniards, the pcjnre of
Orange, Prlnoa Maurice, and Frederick Henry. In the
struggle between lunula XTV of Franc and William
III, and again during the Frnnch revolution and
Napolennln period. It was besieged four times. It was
Invested during tha revolution of 130. It ha known
fifteen sieges In all.
Then turn to Brussels. What ether capital In
Burope oan ahow such a troublous record? Tha French
besieged It In liflfi. In 170(5 It opened Its gate to Marl
borough. Forty years later It wa again nealeged by
the Frenoh under Marshal xe, and, after a aloga of
threw weeks, was obliged to surrender. After many
mora trouble, terminating with tha fall of Napoleon,
Belgium and Holland were united into on kingdom
under William of Nassau, and Brussels wa tha aeat
mf government alternately with The Hague.
But the Belgians were not contented with this ar
rangement, for under It they were acandaloualy treated.
For fifteen years they writhed under this domination.
Then they rebelled. Placards with red letters were
secretly posted on the street corners tn Brussela de
fining the following program: "Monday, flreworka;
Tucaday, Illumination: Wednesday, revolution." And,
surely enough, the revolution cam to pass.
Ita auccesa was assured by one of the biggest bat
tle aver fought on Belgian soil the battle Of Brussels.
A sanguinary conflict raged for four dya In the
streets of tha city, and tha carnage of Belgians and
Dutch alike waa ghastly. v -v
Thanks to their brilliant victory In this , battle of
Brussela tha Belgians ware enabled to declare their
Independence.
Battle af Waterloo.
Of course, the moat famous battlea ever fought on
Belgian soil war thoee of tha Napoleonic campaign of
1H8, when tha French forces, were led by-Napoleon, the
British by Wellington, and the Germans by Blucher.
Yet the number -of tha participants were small in
deed when compared with those engaged In the pres
ent war. Napoleon's army amounted to 123,400 men, and
was, perhaps, the finest he had evar commanded.
Welllngton'a waa composed of Engllrhmen, Hanoveri
ans, BrunsaickorS, Naeaauera. Germans and Nether-
landers, and totalled lOS.SU). Wellington pronounced It
"the wortrt army ever brought together." Th army of
BHucher numbered 11S.S97. ;' .-'
The first trig battle occurred on June 1. at T.lgny,
where Blucher, otherwise known aa "Vorwarta," waa
opposed to Napoleon.
Tha streets of tha town became Impasaahle-on ac
count of tha dead, dying and abounded with which they
were congested. Towsrda the end of the day. tha Prus
sian crlea of "Vorwarla!" and "Hourra!" were drowned
by the French crlea of "En event!" and "Vive 1'Em
pereurV' Tha Prussians loat over 13,000; tha French
aliout 8 000. Blucher hlrnaelf waa wounded, and several
times trampled on by galloping horses. But the day
alter tha battle he wna himself again, and ddsing him
self with his favorite tipple of gin and sulphur.
On tha 11th name the lilatorio battle of Waterloo.
The battle lasted about ten hour At S In t evening
th cry of "tJauva oul peut" rose from th French
guard, and victory waa assured. A general advance on
tha part of tha Knglish routed tha adveraarlaa, and -a
pursuit by the Prussians finished off the fight. Nap
oleon lost mora than fcO.POn out of 72,000 men.
Peace of the Pens
Attorney General Martin holds that although
a candidate filing for nomination subscribes to
an oath that he will "abide by th result of the
primary," there is nothing legally to prevent
him from having hla frlenda file htm afterwards
by petition as a candidate for the same office
In the election. That may b law, but a man
who drawa cards In a gentlemen's gsme is i
peeled to plsy according to th rules or not at
all.

Nw York Post: Now that President Wilson has
made peace with Colonel Harvey, and there aeema a
prospect that arbitration will yet reconcile th White
House and Henry Wattersou. no one need daspalr of
tha early conclusion of hostilities In Burope. No feud
waa apparently mora destined to be lasting than this
one between Colonel Harvey and th president. That

steadily growing harmony of, tha democratio party
under tha arhoolmat'ter's leadership.
Philadelphia ledger: Tha colonel waa th first to
mention 'Wood row Wilson for tha presidency; this was

entirely unknown in politics. Mr. Wilson became gov

th presidential nomination waa within reach, th
broad hint was given the editor to repress hia support
on tha thsory that a candidate brought forward

they are the liveliest corpees today In the

I believe T. R. and Emperor William are
both peace loving leaders, but If you force
them, they will fight, and don't you ever

OMAHA, Oct. s-To the Editor of The

a few frivolous ninnies who occupy po
sitions of sdvantage to use mirrors for
tha purpose of reflecting blinding rays of
light In th eyes of thoee In the streets,
who at best se little.
Teaterday two girls on the second floor
of the Psiton block used mirrors In this

was reinforced by a boy with bonny locks
who had an Intensified reflector, which
he used to advantage.

v OMAHA, Oct .-To the Editor of The
Bee: Extreme religionists of different
sect believe that we are approaching the
millennium foretold in tha Book of Rev
elations, and point to the fact that the
attitude of tha feminine portion of
humanity toward war la changing. In
New -York the women protested against
the A nglo-R. us so-Franco-German war by
a monster anti-war parade. But. after all, !
woman la the real hero. She knowa what !
She la doing when ah sends her men to
the front. She knows what a life out
of ..which everything ha gone but pov
erty, suffering nd grief means. Plungo
this nation . Into war and the women
would be the first to fight against op
preaslon. Kill off her men and she would
take th field herself.
When aroused a woman will go the
extreme for her country, and her quick
wit and cunning make her a braver foa
than a man. Turn to your bible and read
th story of the two Israelltlsh women.
Judith and Jael, how they cunningly
trapped the leader of the victorious In
vaders and robbed him of hla head, thuj
turning defeat to victory.
The Canadian woman, Laura Secord,
overhearing two American officers dis
cussing Dearborn's plana for a surprise
attack on the British, during the second
English war, outwitted the American
guards and after traveling barefooted all
day and night through a thick forest
reached th British camp In time to warn
them of th American scheme. Thl ct '
of heroism saved eastern Canada for th
English. ,
England' war queen. Boedlcea, led her
army of 340.000 Celt against the Invading
Roman minions under Nero. The story
of the bravery and courage of Joan of
Arc and her death at th stake Is famil
iar to every echool child.
History Is replete with the patriotism
and daring of our women In the Revolu
tion as well aa the War of the Rebellion.
Today tha women of Belgium, Germany,
Servla and France are harvesting the
crops, carrying on tha business, nursing
tha wounded, caring for the dying and
weeping for their men who will never re
turn. With women's consent there would be
no. war; without her ther could be no

OMAHA, Oct. .-To th Editor of The
Bee: The program mapped jnit by tha
geng controlling the State Normal board
threatena to go to piece. About a year
ago the plan seemed tt be to make room
In th stat normal achoola for A. L.
Cavlnee. superintendent at Fatrbury;
State Superintendent J. E. Delzell and
one or two other members of the school
master' ring. Tha program began by
ousting Thomas from the head of the
Kearney Normal. The plan appears to
have bean to put A. H. Waterhouae Into
tha place t Kearney, and to make a
place for Cavlneaa at Peru. Th storm
of Indignation from all over tha state
checked proceedings, and finally a man
from outside of the state waa aelected
for tha Kearney Normal. It waa thought
after election and the reorganisation of
the board at the beginning of the year
the program might continue, but the gang
now see Dr. Thomas headed atraight for
the slate auperintendent'a office on th
republican ticket, and P. M. Whitehead,
a maa equally objectionable to them, on
the democratic ticket. Elliott ha been
taken care of aa head of v the department
of mathematics in the Kearney Normal.
Thla la hla' reward and ia In line with
the promise made him before tb pri
mary. In case of hi defeat.
But what about ' Sunny Jim?" He
pulled the cheatnuta out of the fir and
new he ia left to shift for himself. Cavt
neaa had Superintendent George Martin
of Nebraska City elected aa head of th
department of EnglUh In th Kearney
Normal at a salary of 310 a month more
than ever had been paid in thla depart
ment to anyone In any of tha normal
school, and immediately applied for tha
place about to b vacated ey Martin. H
waa warmly supported by .Majors. Dal
sell and. of course. Martin, but th Ne
braska City board turned Cavlneaa down.
So th situations with both Cavlneaa
and Delaall are becoming serious. In the
rearrangement of th faculty at Kearney
It appears that no on haa been given
th title of "dean." although teacher
hav bees employed for all th work.
It ta said a quirt little meeting of the
Normal board will be called one of these
days and Cavlneaa made dean at Kear
ney and a soft place arranged for Delsell
to light la one of the other normals.
Th only thin that aaema to atand In
th way of this program ia whether mem
bers of tha board can legally elect them
selves to positions tn tb achoola Th
State Normal board, however, la a body
which doe sot worry much about tba
. lav. If th law la ta th way tVr ig-
I nore It. This Is well Illustrated by their
s-tlon In taking the management of the
schoola out of the hands of the pre..ents
, snd placing It In the hands of the regts
I trars, when the Is a- makes the president
I the chief executive officer of the school.
I snd all other teachers and employes sub
i ordlnste to him.
Notwithstanding ai this scheming they
have the temerity to ask for public con
fident e. and expect the ensu'ng legisla
ture to give them a clean bill of health.
Public servants aho conduct the state's

THE TWILIGHT WITCH.
Madison Caweln In New York Sun.
The twlllrht witch comes with her stars
And streas them through the blue.
Then breathes tclow the sunset-bar
A brenth of meadi.w rue:
8ti trails her vefl across the skies
And mutters to the trees.
And in the wood, with firefly sy
Sb -wakes the mysterlea
Ti c twilight witch, with elf and ray.
Is coming down the slumber way.
Sleep, my dearie, sleep.
The twIUght witch, with crescent moon.
Stoops in th" wooded Mil;
She answers to ti.e owlet's tune.
And to the wMppoorwIll.
She lcfins above the reedy pool
And wnkes the drowsy frog,
And with the toadsto.il. Clm and cool.
Rlnis grey the old dead log.
The twil'g'.t witch comes stealing down
To take yon off to slumber town.
Slep, my dearie, Sicep.
The twilight witch, with' wind-Ilk tread,
Mas enfered In the room;
St e stenls nronnd vot.r trundle bed
And whispers In tho gloom:
She siys: "I brought- my steed along.
My fery steed of alenms,
To bear you, like s breath of song.
Into the lnd of dreams.
T sm the witch who takes your hand
An, leads yon off to faeryland.
The fur-off land of sleep."
