A Greater University of Nebraika.
The position of The Roe favoring the up
building by ,liraka of a great slate university,
consolidating Its cnerg, resources and activi
ties Instead of keepjng them divided as at pres
ent beta op n the downtown campus and the sub
urban agricultural college, ass clearly define.!
when the subject was before the legislature. It
appeared to us that from every point of view
efficiency, economy, rlean surrounding", room
to grow and harmonious and adequate housing
the one course conducive to real and lanting
progress was to give tip the downtown campus
In favor of the agricultural college location.
This Is conceding that the university is to stay
forever in Lincoln, being transplanted merely
from a corner In an undesirable district of
wholesale house and railroad yards to the cen
ter of an , attractive residence suburb Just as
much a part of Lincoln.
Had the legislature taken it upon itself to
decide, consolidation would have been decreed.
Rut Instead, under pressure of Interested real
eHtate speculators eager to sell land adjoining
the prenent campus at fancy prices, the brow
beaten law-makers levied the necessary tax to
pay the cost, and left It to be decided by popular
vote whether the money should be spent to build
tip and develop one greater and consolidated
university or to maintain and enlarge the two
present institutions separated by a distance of
a few miles. ,
The noisy and lavish campaign waged by the
antl-consolldatlonlsts has brought out nothing,
so far as we have observed, to counteract the
arguments and reasons for consolidation, but.
on the contrary, has strengthened them by show-
Ing that only sordid considerations call for
keeping a part of the university down town.
The promoters of the campaign on behalf of the
real estate owners and boarding house keepers
have overcome thoir Job In Its effect upon un
biased and thinking people, whatever may have
been the influence upon those who Jump at
merely superficial conclusions.
After providing $2,500,000 for the creation
of a great state university that would put Ne
braska In the forefront of higher education,
even among its wideawake neighbors, it would
be a pity to sacrifice the opportunity just to
help somebody sell a few lots, and hold. the stu
dents under Iho shadow of tbe big stores and
pleasure resorts seeking to profit on their patronage.
Side Lights on the War,
A Glimpie More Reassuring.
Overwhelmed as we of the United States
have been with the awful picture of misery an. I
distress abroad as the result of the war, it is
gratifying to learn from dispatches that there
arc places In the war xone where the lot of non-
combatants is almost normal; where business
is proceeding and good spirits prevail. It Is also
gratifying to know, as the Great Eastern Rail
way Magazine of London discloses, of the aid
given by large corporations to their soldier em
ployes and their families. This railway poeted
a "Notice to Stare at the outset of the war.
beginning thus:
It has been decided that the' wives and families
of me,ri volunteerlna for snrvlce In tha army and navy,
aa well as thus who are called up for service either
as reservists or torrltotials, shall be given such allow
ances by the company, supplemented by the personal
contributions of the directors, officers and staff, aa
111, With government pay, toe sufficient for their
maintenance during the time such man are with thu
color. i
On their return those who survive the war
th employes will be reinstated In their old
positions or others as near equivalent as possi
ble. , No doubt similar policies are being pur
sued by other targ concerns In England and
In the other countries at war, by which the mis
eries entailed will be mitigated as much as possi
ble. In Oermuny, which Is said to be feeling
the effect of tbe war at borne less than any
country, old age pensions are universal, so that
dependent w ar victims may be certain of at
least a substantial measure of care and relief.
This, of course, will figure vitally In meeting
subsequent Issues.
Foster for Police Judge.
Three years ago The Bee proposed and
recommended th candidacy of Charles E. Foster
for police judge. On the record he has made
he haa been renominated on the republican
ticket for another term, and we are glad to re
new our recommendation to the voters to mark
their ballots tor Foster for police judge. ' In
that trying position, nobody can suit everybody,
and nobody has complained of anything in Judge
Foster's administration of his orflce that goes
further than a difference of opinion. Th
charge of absenteeism is trumped up for merely
political effect. Th on thing that stands out
la that, aa police magistrate, Judge Foster has
mad good and la entitled to endorsement at
tbe polls.
ompaalonaklp of Soldiers.
W. T. Cnrkcr, writing In "American Notf n
Minlch," has this to say of the comradeship of the
I'Httlefleld.
" l--h Mntt Einen Kamersden.' We have h'ar I
this sung so often of late. IVrhnpa n- song Is more
popular among the soldiers aa they march through
the xlrrrts W remember particularly the stirring
"f our emotions as t lie words 'In die llilmat, In die
Hrlmat' ring out.
"The comrade on the battlefield l the link between
the Vstcrland battling for tho Individual sol-lter. The
comrade and I-r-one of us may remain forewr In an
unknown grave, the ottwr may rtirn home. Th-j
stern nceesltles of war, and the personal ties of
frh ndshlp and home affei tlon, are graphically d--Plcted
In the strophes of t'hland.
"We picture the (i-rman army as mighty, force
ful. Impersonal ma-lilno, sending Its soldiers to the
harse almost as m- re atoms In the national forward
sweep. Yet In the mldat of all ti ls machine-like
movement the touch of the friend's hand, the horn"
tl, Is not lost.
"In one of the severe battles of the Inst week of
AiiRiist friends were fighting side by side. All th
previous nlrht thev had lain on their arms fearing
poselbla attack. At 6:7) the action began and lasted
throughout the day. .'oddenly one of th three was
shot through the breast and arm. I had always
thought that the tide .of battle Ir. such an event
would sweep over the fallen aoldler, leaving him of
necessity on the battlefield
"Not so In this case. The two friends picked un
the fallen comrade and brought him to the fiek
laxaret. Then they sought to regain their mtn regi
ment, but It hsd gone on. They could only Join aome
other reslmeot and In time work ba--k to their own
meanwhile being reported as 'vermlsst.'
"This Is friendship on the battlefield But It went
further and brought a letter from one comrade to
the parents of the wounded aoldler. The latter, hlm-s-lf,
after being wounded, had written home in
rramed handwriting, saying nothing about hls acci
dent, with simply a reference to those 'wounded for
the Fatherland. ' Not till afterwards could the parents
read between the llnea and reallre the son's solicitude
for their feelings.
"After all, friendship snd home are the rent
power behind the guns."
Fa mo n a War Prtaoa.
Everybody who has read "Monte Crlsto" or seen
It acted will remember the Chateau d'll. the fearaoma
prison from which Dumas' sailor hero. Edmond
Duntes, escaped In a sack after having talcen the
place therein of his fellow prisoner and counselor, the
Abble Karl a. Lovers of the story may be Interested
to hear that the famous chateau, which stands on an
Island In Marseilles harbor and was a fortress before
it became a prison, Is. owing to the war, once more
In use as a place of detention after having been for
many years a show place.
"I have Just steamed around it." writes a cv.tc
spondent st Marseilles, "and espied several melancholy
black figures In French uniforms on the battlements.
They are guarding Oerman prisoners. Outside the door
of the central fort were three monks, and along th'i
winding path to the landing stage was a thick dark
coll of prlsorers. In the offing was a red French
ship taking up a fresh hatch of prisoners from a
small boat for conveyance to Algiers. It was a
tllent, gloomy picture, but no one could tell me
whether the famous old dupgeonsi sre still beinr
used."
Lessons In neoaraphy.
Within the last several days much has been writ
ten of IlxmiKle and of Nleuport, which can hardly
be found on the maps, and are not so Insistent as '.4
attract the attention of great cyolopedlste even to the
extent of minute paragraphs.. The former is on the
Yser river, a creek whjch one could almost span with
a Jump; yet It Is said to "divide the contending
forces." Dlxmude Is a town of less than 4,010 popula
tion whose only distinction Is that It has one fine
church. It Is about twelve miles north of Ypres,
where also there has been fierce fltxtng for many
days. '
Nleuport fFlemlsh Kleuwpoorn is a doien nillee
northwest of Dixmudo and ten miles southwest of
Dunkirk at the mouth of the little river Y per lee,, and
having a hit of a harbor on the North Bea. . It may
be counted by th Hermans a way station on tho
roaJ to Invasion of England from some point on th
channel, but It Is worthless for any military purpose,
It would be said, until the Invaders are sure of Dun
kirk. Nleuport Is a fishing village of about 3,000 popula
tion. Roats for fishing fleets are built there, as they
are at all of the channel towns and cities, but it Is
lacking In all the means of defense and offense, and
must simply be thought on more of the many little
towns In West Flanders to be sacrificed on tha horrid
altar of war.
It has an Interesting history, like all of the towns
and cities of Flandsrs, which became historic hun
dreds of years before West and East Flanders were
finally liewn from ancient Flanders to become alum!
the fairest provinces of modern Belgium. Cordagx
and ropa and netting are mad at Nleuport for tlis
fishermen. A notable cloth hall datee from 14M, and
a lighthouse yet glows which was finished In 12KI.
It wbs here, moreover, that the famous "Battle of
the Dunes" was fought In July, Pioo. when Miiurlce
of Nassau defested the Hpsnlanls.
(rlmmeat Army Corps.
In all the world there la only one army the Oermnn
that carries Its war preparations to such a state ..f
completeness aa to havo a special corps of grave lii.
t gets, who accompany the army In the field for this
grim tssk alone. They were formed for the Fran-'o-Oerman
war of l7n, and their appearance' was s
source of smasement to the older generation of sol
diers of Europe, who could not understand such
"spclalixatan."
Another feature of the German military systsm
Is the requirement that all soldiers should wesr
around their necks labels with their names, regiment
and rank. In the event of death these are useful for
purposes of Identification, and In rase of Injury th)
reverse aide is used aa a form on which the surgeons
attached to the field hoapttal Jot down details of She
patient's Injuries and any special guidance of the
surgeons at the base hospitals.
Prod the Paring Contractors.
City commissioners are quoted aa explaining
that th reason for so much delay lo street pav
ing this autumn is failure of contractors to pro
ceed with tbe work under th specifications call
ing for high-grade material. The contractors,
they say, of course do not come right out and
admit their real reasons, but beat about the
bush so as to effect delay, which haa the game
result. Further,, the commissioners affirm that
certain contractors hope by staving off the work
long enough they may be able to pull a bigger
profit out of it.
Without passing on th validity of th com
missioners' claims, this seems plain enough, that
th city authorities must have ths power to com
pel action by the paving contractors. Let them
cither be made to do the work they bargained
to do or forfeit the bonds put up for that pur
pose. Why should property owners, who want
tbelr streets paved, be made to bear the brunt
ofth situation? Nobody will deny that paving
contractors often resort to devious methods to
advance their own selfish schemes, but after all
tbe taxpayers and public must deal -with th
city commissioners and not th paving contractors.

Separate Legislative Districts.
OMAHA, Oct. 28. To the Editor of The
Bee: In campaigning through the county
I encountered considerable criticism over
the fact that under present conditions the
country districts are unable to secure rep
resentation In the legislature.
To secure Justice In representation for
the outlying districts I believe the next
legislature ought to create senatorial and
representative districts on the present ap
portionment basis. By this means every,
section of tho county would have repre
sentation upon a fair and equitable basis.
This would also be a move in the direc
tion of the short ball-, which you are
advocating, and which all progressives
are demanding. For by this method each
voter would have to choose but one sena
tor and one or two representatives. In
atead of. as now, five senators and twelve
representatives. L. J. QL'INBY.
Still More About Isgsr.
OMAHA. Oct. ?. To the Editor of
The Bee: I seldom reply to critics, giv
ing the truth as I see It and accepting
the Judgment of the public, favorable or
unfavorable. Mr. Snyder, however, so
ridiculously misrepresents me I feci I
ought to expose him. I did not say or
Intimate that boll-weevil destroys sugar
cane, as he Intimates, but i did say
boll-weevil, Insects, rust, drouth, etc.,
had been so overworked to bull the
market thst the public no longer paid
much v attention to such arguments. I
meant to show that Mr. Dickinson's ad
verse conditions were of this character,
and so Bee readers understood me all
except Mr. Snyder.
1 did not say that Germany is th only
country producing sugar in Europe, r
know other countries product it. but
mostly for home consumption, while
Germany almost controlled the world
market. This is the, reason 1 alluded
solely to that country,
I did not say that cane and beet sugar
differ chemically or physically, but I did
say cane sugar la better than beet
sugar, because r.early all housewives
tell ma so and because It Is always
about .") cents per hundred dearer than
bent sugar.
I said cane sugar can b produced bet
ter and cheaper than beat sugar, and t
say so still. Four tons of beets to the
sere are considered a good crop in Wis
consin; What it Is elsewhere I do not
know, but I am safe in saying the crop
never exceeds five tons per acre, which
at II per ton would amount to 130 per
ucre. This same land produces from
fifty to seventy bushels of corn per
acre, worth 00 cents per bushel say $W
per acre, with much less cost In culti
vation. Is It any wonder farmers re
fuse to raise sugar beets?
. The sverage crop of sugar cane per
sere is fifteen tons faee Encyclopedia
Brltanlca). The amount of sugar per.
ton does not differ greatly from that
of beets, and hence the cane crop, with
out cultivation for years, Is worth three
times as much per acre as the beet
crop.
As a matter of fact, beet sugar nevur
has and never can comete w)th cane
sugar. It never would have been made
but for a heavy bounty In Enrope and
a heavy tariff In the I'nlted States.
Fighting nature Is a costly business.
W hen cane sugar la admitted fre Into
the I'nlted States the production of beet
scgar will cease, unless ths government
subsidizes the Industry. Cnder tho
Dlngley tariff SI 90 pr hundred, refined
sugar was often retailed at 5 cents per
pound rlKht here In Omaha. Now sub
tract the tariff 1 -0 cents from S cents
and you can sell sugar at S 1-10 cents
with as much profit as you could under
the Dingley tariff at 5 cents.
It is. therefore, nothing to mske fun
of, but a reasonable anticipation, that
sugar ran be retailed at 4 cents a poun 1
after 191. p. c. jUHN
Letters from tllil.ol u. . .. -

sent to your paper within twenty-four

This lettter finjshes all 1 have to say
on Mexico, for the present, ,t least.
There appears to be a movement on foot
to attempt h Protestant evangelisation
of Mexico. Witness the last assemblage
and unification of Protestant mission
aries In the I'plted Stsses, on leave
of absence from Mexico prolonged un
Plessantness. Dvubtless the present
secretary of state is friendly to such a
movement. But It will never succeed.
Uellglon Is racial and isothermal. In
Europe Protestsntlsm never throve be
low the Alps and Pryanees; and It never
will. The Itln Is either a ritualist or
rationalist.
The only formidable rival Catholicism,
can have In Mexico is Mormanism. The
Mnrman claims that Christ made, a sec
ond apiarance In the western' hemi
sphere after his ascension In the esstern
hemisphere; anJ the Identification of
Quetaacoatl, the Astee god of the air.
with the Nasarlne appeals to the Im
agination of the credulous Mexican.
Carranaa doe not object to the Cath
olic priests aa auch'. but wishes to abol
ish the confessional. He does not strike
at auricular confession, but at the con
fessional Itself. Thst Is tantamount to
abolishing the church Itself. The reason
given by the Mexican statesman (sic) Is
that th priests advised their penitents
to support Huerta. They followed their
Blaster. The ' Naaaren advised pay In c
tribut to Tiberius; and Paul counseled
otedleno to Nero. "Thou Shalt not curse
th ruler of )hy people." "Render to
Caessr the things thst art Caesar's."'
"The powers that b are o-dslned of

But I can not help laughing In my

The tiniest insect has his place
tl wonder how he knows)
To hide, when, blustering from th north
Old Winter brings his snows.
A great Love Is In evidence
In Nature's world. Ood's care.
Ptteg'.iardlna His small creatures
About us everywhere,
Should in life's chang ng seasons
Our flagging spirits cheer, .
Teaching, whate'er befalletl),
That Love Is ever near.

There is
no after-glow
When you blow
out a Safe Home
match, it is OUT.
And it stays out
Every Safe Home
match is chem
ically treated to
prevent after-glow.
Safe Home match
es are extra long
and extra strong.
The extra length
means extra ser
vice. With one
Safe Home match
you can ' light all
four burners of a
i
gas stove and not run
the risk of burning your
fingers.
The extra strength
means extra safety.
Other things being
equal, that match is
safest which is strong
est. Safe Home matches
are strongest
Examine the head of a
Safe Home match. It
is nearly twice as large
as that of an ordinary
match. That means
better burning a big
ger flame, an evener
flame, a flame that
burns longest
s
Safe Home matches
are non-poisonous.
They are safe to have
in the home.
