Wildom of Our Neutral Policy. The more we loam of the purported "lfiatde" fa.fs relating to the provocation and origin of the war, the more wc munt l Imbued with the wisdom of our nations policy of neutrality, to wbJch w cannot too closoly adhor. ;r?at Prltaln, Germany, end Ruaela have each issued official explanations, each intending to Justify the part It la playing In this deplorable tragedy. No one who has rad the "White Paper"' of Germany and Knicland can fall to be Imprcewd with the respective abowlnca made by both aides. But ia addition to throe state papers, subsequent documents similar In character and purport serve to confirm the wisdom of tb United States In keeping free from entangle ments and withholding Judgment. The Con sistency with which the people as a whole have done this la k tribute to their patriotism and good sense, as well a friendly feeling for the tartou nations at war. Hut more than this, when the smoke of .battle In cleared away and history finally passes upon the causes and prov ocations of the war, we may be sure of still more formal and empbatle vindication of our policy. For the most certain thing about this war now seems to be the utter Impossibility of anyone getting at an exact determination of the Issues or the door, or doore, at which the blame Is to be laid. The War and Its Lessons A Oood Lead to Follow. Kansas City ha recently Issued some sta tistic showing how profitable its revived river traffic has become to many of the large shipping interest there. Plana are afoot for Increasing the facilities, as the demands are growing. The boat use a municipal dock, which Is maintained at comparatively small expense. The Omaha Commercial club has the experi ence ot Kansas City as well aa other cities over on tha Mississippi river to guide its liquifies look ing to the establishing of river traffic here. It seems to us a good lead to follow up, if not for Immediate, at least for early future develop ment. Very much the same conditions would ob tain here a at Kansa City and with a line al ready In operation that far, we ought to have something of an advantage In Retting atarted. The plan should be thoroughly gone Into, any way, and dealt with entirely oa Its merits, so that wa might be aura whatever decision were reached' was tba proper one. All know, of course, , that there is a certain, imperishable freight, that can be profitably hauled by water. 1 the preliminary arrangements can be made for the facilities, the business undoubtedly will come. What Good ii to Come of It! It waa a summer's evening- Old. Kaapar's work waa dona. And ho before his cottar, door Waa sitting In the aun; And by him sported on the (treen HIS little rahdohlld. Wllhelmlne. Then Robert gouthey'a celebrated old poem. "Tba Battle ot Blenheim," goe on to tell about Wllhelmlne' Uttl brother, Peterkin, finding and rolling ia play upon the ground the skull of nmi poor fellow "who fell In the great victory." Whereupon the little boy and girl besought old Kaspar for tba fetory of this "famous victory' With' childish awe they drink in the narrative, shuddering a tha horrors ot war are unfolded to Uem, a old Kaspar. tells how bis father's dwelling was burned to the ground and bis father and mother with their little one fled. "Nor bad be where to rest hi bead." With fire and sword the eountry round Was wasted far and wide; And many a chlldine mother there, And newborn baby died; But Uilnas like that you know, must b - At every famous victory. "Great praise," Kaspar relates, " the Duke of Marlbro won, and our good Prince Eugene." Whereat the prescience of childhood la shocked Into asking, "Way, 'twa a very wicked thing!" "Nay najr my llttl girl!" quoth he, , "It waa a famous victory. "And everybody praised tha duko, . . . Who Uila treat flht did win." "But what rood cams of It at last?" , Quoth little Peterkin. "Why. that I cannot tell." aald he; "Rut 'twaa a famoua victory." And it would stump tha old Kaspara of war ring Europe, w think, to tell the bewildered little Peterkin ot peaceful America and the rest of the world what good 1 to come at last of tbeee preaent-day "famou rlderles," slaughter ing humanity and devastating the continent. The progressives get second place and the re publicans third place on the official ballot as made up by the secretary of state.

Despite the distractions ot the war, the women advocating and opposing the suffrage amendment to the Nebraska constitution which Is to' be adopted or rejected at the coining Nov ember election, have been waging an active cam palgn- la fact, have been displaying more ac tivity oa both sides than has been developed by any ether Issue. In this campaign. The Bee has been aubject to considerable pressure tor space for communication and argument from both advocate and opponents of votes for womea which we have tried to respond to, but In order to accommodate mora fully those of our readers who want information on this subject, we have ka already announced, opened a special depart meat ta which a column ha been placed at the eMspoaal ot suffragists and another column at disposal of the antt-euffraglsts, several time a week until after the election, to which attention la Invited. While giving this additional space to the suffrage discussion, we will have to reltev our letterbox by transferring communications on the. votes-f or-women question to this special Department. Just to make lure that the next Mexican gov ernment rest on the consent of the people, the self-appointed delegates to the Aguaa Callentea convention have voted that they are the supreme sovereign power of the nation.

Friend and col lnciif whom we honor are filled with hate toward earh ..titer, and toward cacii other's countryman. The words that oftenrst roine to our Hps, the MpbIs that we cherish end piirmie, the progress that we fan cied we werw mitkinr. soem not to exist. Mankind le back in the nrlmevni forest, with th elemental brute passions finding a truly fiendish expreeelon. The only apparent tie of scl.'nc Is t enable men to kill other men more nulrkly and In Kmater numbers. The only apparent eervW of philosophy Is to make the worse appear tha better reason. The only apparent evident a of the existence of rttlglon Is the fact that dlvernnt and Impious appeals to a palpably pagan Ood have led Him, In perplexed distress, to turn over tha affairs of Etiropv) to an active and singularly accomplished devil. What are we to think? Is science u shsm?. Is phil osophy a prtnse? Is religion a mere runiort Is tha great International stmetiire of friendship good-will and B' holarly oo-operatjon ' upon which thle univer sity and many of ita members have worked so Ions, ao faithfully, and apparently with so much auccosa, tnly an Illusion? Are the long and devoted labors ot scholars and of statesman to enthrone Justice In the place of Brute Force In the world, all without effeotT Are Lowell's lines true Rlaht forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne? The answer Is No; a thousand times. No! W'o are a neutral nation, and the president hns rightly enjoined ua all to observe neutrality in speech and In deed. But neutrality ta not Indifference; It la hot the neutrality of the easual passer-by who views with amused carelessness a flht between two street rowdies; It la tha neutrality of the Just Judge who alms, without passion and without prejudice, to ran. dor Judgment on the proved facts. We cannot if wa would, refrain from passing Judgment upon the cou rt u ft of men whether singly or in nations, and we should hot attempt to do so. , - In the first place, the moral Judgment of the American people aa to thla war and aa to the several step in the declaration and conduct ef it, 1s clear, calm, and practically unanimous. There la no beating of drums and blowing of bugles, but rather a aa pain and grief that our kin across the sea, owing whatever allegiance and speaking whatever tongue, are engaged In publlo murder and destruction on the most stupendous acala recorded In history. , This of Itself proves that tha education of publlo opinion haa proceeded far, and, whatever the war-traders and militarists may say, that the heart of the American people Is sound and tta head well-informed. The atti tude of the American press is worthy of tha highest praise; In some notable Instances the very high-water mark of dignity and power haa been reached. When the war-clouds have lifted, I believe that tha moral Judgment of the American people as to thla war will prove to be that of the sobor-mlnded and fair-minded men In every oountry of Europe. Next. It must not be forgotten that this war wue made by kings and by cabinets; it waa not decreed by peoples. I can testify that the statement that kings and cabinets were forced Into the war by publlo senti ment la absolutely untrue so far at leaat aa several of the belligerent nations are concerned. Certainly In not more than two cases were tha chosen representa tives of the people conaultad at all. A tiny minority In each of the aevaral countries may have aVtslred war, but the militarist spirit was singularly lacking among the masses of the population. People gener ally have simply1 accepted with grim resignation and reluctant enthusiasm the oonfllct, which In each case they are taught to believe has been forced on them by another's aggression. Tho most significant statement that I heard In Kurope waa mads to mo on the third day Of August last by a German railway servant, a grtsiled veteran of the Franco-Prussian war. In reply to my Question aa to whether he would have to go to the front, the old man said: "No; I am too old. I am 7H But ray four boys went yssterday. Clod help them! And I hate to have them ta" "For, sir,' ha added In a lowered voloe, "this is not a peo ple'e war; It Is a kings' war, and when It. Is over there may nt be eo many kings." Again, a final end baa now been put to the conten tion, always stupid and often insincere,- that huge armaments are an Insurance against war. and an aid In maintaining peace. This argument waa Invented by tha war-traders who bad munitions of war to sell, and waa nothing more than an advertisement for tholr business. Sundry poUtloians, many newspapers, and not a few good people who are proud to have their thinking done for them, accepted thla advertisement aa a profound political truth. Ita falsity Is now plain to every one. Guns and bullets and armor are not made to take the place of postage atamps and books and laboratories and other Instruments of civilisation and of peace; they are made to kill people. . Stace war Is an affair of governmenta and of armies, one. result of the m-esent war should be to make tha manufacture and sale of munitiona of war a government monopoly hereafter. This Is a case where Invasion of the field of liberty by government would do good, not barm. Then, too, the export of munitiona of. war from one country to another ahould be absolutely forbidden When that happens, tha taxpayer will be able to see Just how his money is spent, and to check the expendi ture, and tha powerful war-trader with his lines of Influence In every parliament house and In every ehanoellery, will be eliminated. It seems pretty clear that when the present huge supplies of guns and ammunition are used up In the contest now going on, ho civilised people will ever again permit Its government to enter into a competi tive armament race. The time may not be so very far distant when to be tho first moral power in the world will a considerably greater distinction than to bo the first military power, or even tha second nsval power, which latter coal Is so constantly and ao aubtly urged on the people ot the United eTtatee. How any one. not a fit subject for a mad-hmiee, can find in the awful events now happening in Europe a reason for Increasing the military and naval establishments and expenditures of the United States, ia to me wholly Inconceivable. ' Another great rain la to be found In the fact that no one la willing to be responsible for this war. Every combatant allegee that he la on the defenalve, and aummona bis fellovr-countrymea who are scien tists and philosophers to find soma way to prove lt. Vhe old claim that war waa a part of the moral ordor, a God-given Instrument for the spreading of enlight enment, and tha only, real trelnlng-eohool for the manly virtuea, Is Just now In a state of eclipse, tach one of the several belligerent nations Insists that It and Ita government are devoted friends of peace, and that It la at war only because war waa forced upon It by the acts of some ana else. As to who that soma one else is. It has iot yet been possible to get a unani mous agreement What wo do know la that no one tepa forward te claim credit for the war or to aak a vote of thanka cr a deooratlon tor having forced it upon Kurope and upon tha world. Everybody con cerned U ashamed ot it and apologetlo for It Pijoplo and Events Democrats who expect republicans to elect them to office, and republican who expect democrat to elect them to office, atw apt to be 1 fooled. ...... looking back over three weeks of war history serves tJ confirm early suspicions that eJltors of battle bulletins are full of prunes.

Why the women should hesitate to step toward In a Farnani car is beyond me, for they need not think th.y will cause a man In a seat to got up. and offer It to Tner. becaimo he will not do Jt. Coming down mornings you will find young high school boys sitting and wo men standing in the car aJulea or Jammed t'.gother In the ba k part Of the cars.

Fie, far Mtlsens Ticket. OMAHA, Oct. 15. To the Editor ot The Bee: Every citizen of Omaha who has tho Interest of the publlo school at heart, and particularly every woman- who be lieves In fair play for the women teachers In our schools, should register emphatic disapproval Of the Omaha Board of Edu cation, as now constituted, by voting the entire citizens' ticket at the coming elec tion. The action of the present board in dis charging Miss Pteiner and demoting the other teachers who testified In the recent Rusmlsoi hearing after being promised absolute protection. Is a direct notice to the teachers of Omaha that hereafter they must keep their mouths ahut no matter how flagrant a wrong they may know to exist. The entire teaching corps of Omnhi understand full well that si lence on their. part In the face of the moat oxasperatlng conditions. Is the price Of their Jobs. The prattle about loyalty to the board deceives nobody. The board makes the mistake In assuming that the board mem bers are the employers of our teachers. They are not The teachers are respon sible to the people of Omaha and not to Dr.t Holovtchlner or any of his asso ciates. Tha cltlxena ticket Is pledgwd to put an end to tha one-man power on the school board. There are eight places to fill on the school board and four members of the board hold ever, ilf the element now In power can elect only two or threa at the coming election they will be satisfied. In order to secure a new deal, the people ahould vote for the entire cltlsens' ticket , " A. E. B. Firm In the Belief. KOTJTH OMAHA, Oct 16. To the Editor of The Bee: In answer to F. A. Ag new's last letter, I repeat that If the republican and progressive partlea could unite on Colonel Rooseelt for president in iui v.. would he. elected just aa sure aa the sun Shines, and break- the aald democratic south, and no one who ia not prejudiced ran dispute this fact I. at least havo never heard It disputed.

There 1a no argument, in aou. J. O. . Worklagaaaa's Questions. OMAHA, Oct la-To the Editor of The Bee: A few pertinent questions If you please: Who are the gentlemen that ap pointed themselves as a cltlxena' , com mittee to pick men aa candidates for the School Board? Are they the same men wbo three years 1 ago organised them selves Into the citizens' union to select men for the city commission? Is It a re vival of the same old organisation that Buffered such dlnaetrouB defeat at the bands of tho peonls three years ago? Are they the stragglers of that shattered and tattered army which bumped up against the terrific fire from the bat teries of the common people? Why has the self-constituted citisens committees which is presenting Its School Board candidates, picked from the upper and (snored any aaplraut from the plain com mon people? What Is the standard which the oltlsena' union committee has put up to make one eligible to become a candi date? Ia tha amount of riches men can show the prime qualification tor eligi bility to become a candidate for public office? Is good business sense and sturdy honesty of the average American not sufficient to make him eligible to sen's ths people? Must a man belong to the silk stocking brigade, live in a palace on upper Farnam, or belong to the ex clusive set of the Omaha club. Country club, or other millionaire orranlsatlona before he an asptra to serve tha com mon people In the city commission of the School Board? Why Is It the cltlserui' union committee totally Ignored the wishes of the people who hare eol'clted, rersuaded and In dorsed certain candidates from their own wards, and Instead, are trying to ram down their throats men who are not In sympathy with the plain people, who have nothing in common with them and flock by themselves What Is tbe matter with auch men as Bekns from tha Fifth. Davis from the Sixth, Kennedy form tbe Seventh, Podder from tho EJght. Foster from the Ninth. Miller of the Twelfth, etc.? Are they not representative, substantial, worthy citizens, fit to serve on the School Board? Have citizens' union can didates a monopoly on virtue, honesty and good citizenship? It seoms so. How ran the self-slated frlenda of the laborer and common people how can they go Into bysterlrs over the hand-picked randldatea cf the citizens' union, who are or were members of tha Business Men's associa tion, an organization which dalt a death tlow to organized labor In this city? Ths citizens' union ticket has a preacher, lawyer, wholesale and retail business men all represented, but where la tbe representative of the labor class?

Coma see it. Costs One-Fifth Extra Reo the Fifth costs to build about one-fifth more than If built by lesser standards. Its steels are made to formula, based on radical requirements. All important parts are given 50 per cent over-capacity. The car baa 35 horsepower, but all tests are made for a 5 horsepower engine. And test cars are run for 10,000 miles to prove the strength and wear resistance of each part. Six weeks are spent on each car. A whole building Is de voted to tests and analyses.
