Turkey's Entrance.
Turkey's final alignment on the side of Ger
many In the present war has seemed inevitable
from the first. While It throws the sultan
against his old allies In the Crimean struggle,
France and England, it affords him another ex
cellent opportunity for that long covetd ven
geance on bis ancient enemy, Russia, who aim
always has been the Turk's expulsion from
Europe. Turkey does not forget how perilously
close to the realisation of that aim Russia
came during the last Balkan war. Germany, In
the meantime, perfected Ita compact with Turkey,
so that this alliance has been discounted since
the present war began.
It would not be strange if Turkey's action
led to another Bslkan uprising. That is. If it fired
other Balkan states Into action with the allies.
But It has a graver significance even than that,
namely, the possible effect on the cause of Pan
Islamlsm. All along speculation has been rife
as to the possibility of anti-British revolts In
Egypt and India, such as already darkens the
horizon in South Africa, True, British-Indians
are fighting valiantly for the allies' cause at
present, but onc the sultan, as the- head of the
Mohammedan church, emblazons the Crescent
and calls on Moslems everywhere to rally to the
holy cause, there. Is . nd telling what might
happen. Of Course, In addition, to the Turks of
British India and Egypt, there are those of the
African provinces of France and Italy, who might
also respond.
Such a contingency cannot now be Tlewed
as more than a possibility, yet as such it must
not be too meanly disregarded. Everything be
ing fair In war, as In love, Germany may be ex
pected to exercise Its tactful Influence toward
helping along any plan calculated to fire the
flame of Pan-Islamlsm in the boom of all devout
Moslems. With the aultan, himself, waving the
Crescent, It Is questionable if any other influ
ence would be necessary. If all Moslem's in these
countries did respond, it would entail additional
burdens upon the allies, Britain especially, al-.
though It might not necessarily form a determin
ing factor. There la this hindrance to the Pan
Islamlsm shibboleth, that Germany, no less than
Russia or any of the allies, ranks -with the "un
believers,". -in the Mohammedan's ya. Yet it
must be remembered that English,' French and
Sardinian support of Turkey in the Crimea did
not serve to disparage the holiness of that strug
gle by the sultan.

The Tux Amendment.
COLUMBUS. Oct 80. To the Editor of The'
Bee: Kindly explain to the many reader a of the Bee
the nature and purpoee of Amendment No. t to the
constitution "providing for uniform and progreealva
taxation" to bf voted on November .1. and greatly
oblige. O. FRJSCHHOLZ.
Adoption of the proposed tax amendment to
the constitution of Nebraska means to rescind
and repeal the present first section of the article
dealing with revenue and finances, and substi
tute a new section for it.
The present constitution 'expressly limits the
legislature in raising revenues, to 'levying, a tax
by valuation so that every person and corpora
tion shall pay a tax In proportion to the value ot
Ills, her or Its property and franchises," and to
additional special taxes, uniform as to the class,
upon certain specified occupations and businesses
and none other, namely, "peddlers, auctioneers,'
brokers', hawkers, ' commission merchants,
showmen, jugglers, Innkeepers, liquor dealers,
toll bridges, ferries, Insurance, telegraph and
express interests or business, venders of patents.'!
Ia other words, the present constitution requires
the revenues of the state to. be raised, with the.
exceptions noted, by a property tax Imposed upon
all alike according to the value of the' property
they own, wpeth'e tangible or Intangible. k .
Another section of the constitution, which la
not sought to be changed, permits the legislature
now to exempt from this property tax holdings
."used exclusively for agricultural and horticul
tural societies, for schoolvrelfglous, cemetery and
charitable purposes," but making such exemp
tions Is not, nor will It be,1 compulsory on the
legislature.
The 'proposed substitute section removes all
these limitations on the leglolature In raising
revenues, excepting that "all rules ot taxation
shall be uniform aa to any given class." If
this amendment is ratified, it will be within tha
discretion of the legislature to substitute for the
present property tax, special taxes on Incomes,
on corporation revenues, on any business or oc
cupation, or to tax land alone, and make the rate
for such taxes "graduated and progressive." it
will also be within ' Its ' discretion to provide
"reasonable ' exemptions" as it pleases in addi
tion to those now enumerated In the constitu
tion. In a word, the proposed amendment gives
the legislature' practically . full power to raise
the revenue needed for the state by any known
form of taxation, or any combination of such
forms, subject to the sole requirements of a
uniform rule for 'each separate class.
, ; Incidentally, it should be understood that this
amendment was voted on provisionally in the
recent primary, being endorsed by a majority of
the votes cast thereon by each political party,
and under our law becomes thus entitled to have
counted aa "Yea" every party circle ticket, un
less a different purpose is manifested by a cross
la one of the squares opposite the amendment
where It appears on the ballot 4
v , ,l
We felt It in our bones all the time what
was coming, and it has come. Lincoln newa
ppers are openly soliciting votes for both 'Lin
coln candidates for "university regent the one
on the, democratic ticket and the one on the re
publican ticket so that with their Lincoln! hold
over regent. Lincoln would absolutely own the
management ot this state Institution. The-pretext
for this hog-it-all play, that the two Licoln
candidates are opposed to consolidation, should
make the voters generally more determined to
favor consolidation. -

llallewe'ea Ceetowie.
iAk rnont of the world-wide festivals wearing
patriarchal whUkers, Hallowe'en hears enough pagan
trimming to prore Ita antiquity. Del vera Into the
muaty tomes of ancient tlmeg are convinced that the
eve of All Paints' day Is a survival ot the pagan
feast of Pomona, the goddeae of fruits and seeda
I'rnl.ln ,f ancient England observed the day in giving
thanks for the harvests. One of their teachings was
that on this day Raman, the Lord of Death, mobilised
his mighty host and made a night of It- To propitiate
this fearsnmt god the Druids held grvat ceremonial
exercises, poiired out long prayers and dispensed gifts
to gain his good will. At the same time they lighted
hug a fires in honor of the god Paul. In Wales tho
bonfire custom Is kept up to this flsy, and on the
Welsh hill the flare of bonfires may still be seen
on the last night of October.
Many t.f the weird Customs of Hallowe'en atlll
llnsrcr In fJreat Britain and Ireland and In Germany,
hut these l ountries are too busy with Krave tanks Just
now to Indulge In festal ceremonials and merry-making.
In Scotland any child born on the eve of Oc
tober St Is supposed to be endowed with a mysterious
faculty of holdlnit communion, while sleeping, with the
Invisible world. Tn north Walea the peasuntry caat
atones Into a great fire and after covering them
up with ashes retire to rest. The next morning
the ashes are swept aside and the atone sought,
and wo betide those who do not find tbelr stones.
Their future1 life. It la supposed, will be very uncertain.
Upon some of the Channel Islands the fisherfolk
choose Hallowe'en to propitiate a sea god whom they
know as "Shony." At night they gather at the sear
coast, brew ale and consign It to the waves, mean
while repeating the words: "Ebony, I give you thla
ctip of ale, hoping you will be so kind aa to send
us plenty of sea r are tn eprloft' our-land the coming
year." Afterward they return. to a church and offer
prayer to God, following which rewlry of eJl klnda
la participated In. In sections 'of Ireland Hallowe'en
Is kept In all Its entireties. . Burns has, ludle.iv
embodied the customs of the Irish in 'his poem. "Hal
lowe'en." In. which the general good fellowship, tiut
roaatla. apple ducking, dumb cake ceremony and
candle rlnselng are quaintly described.
Hallowe'en llasbaads. . ' ' ' .
Tha dumb cake ceremony Is a common custom, la
Ireland on Hslloween night. A piece of cake ia
kneaded with the left ttmmb In absolute silence. If
the lips ard even slightly moved the charm will be
broken, i However, if nothing is said presently there
will a"ppear the future husbsnd .of the faithful lasa.
Another' prevalent custom baa to do with molten lead,
whieh Is cast Into cold spring water. The fanci
ful stUpea resulting denote the kind of a husband
a glr7 will get. For instance, if the lead take tho
appearance of a dragoon the reeemblsmce Is at once
compared, and the eager girl la told of the reeult ,
Now bring forth the lead and melt It down quickly,
-There Is no knowing what is in store for you yet:
Here, Harry, run mit for a key of the gateway.
And, Wetty. a bowl of fresh water sjet.
80 hold the key over and through the wards pour.
Until the lead rune down like meal tbrough sieve;
Remember, remember, on nutty Novetrfber.
The charm. Is completed at gay Halloweye.
In England "nut cracking,'.' . has Hke object In
view. A number ot nuta are named by aa many
girls for their lovere and put n a bed of coals. If
a nut Jumps the lover Is unfaithful probably be Is a
man of spirit and finds condttlona too. hot for him.
But if a nut should blaxe and burn he surely loves the
lass who named the nut the fires of lore rage In his
bosom. If both nuts, named tor a maid and' her
lover, burn together, they will be mairried. It Is
well to advise those on the anxloua seat performing
this ceremony to use dry. combustible, nuts and a
flrte bed of red coals.
Burns gives us a picture of the nutbnrnlng rite?
The auld guldwife's weel hordet alts
Are round and round divided,
' And monle lads' and laaees'. fates t 1,
Are there that night decided, etc.
- Dr. Goldsmith In the "Vicar of Wakefield" says
that "the rustics religiously . cracked reuta on All
Hallowe'en eve."
Bcotland. too, carries out Its celebration Jn much the
same manner and often the unromantlc cabbage plays
a prominent part in the festivities of the ttar. ' .
After a young girl has been carefully blindfolded
she gropes her way to a cabbage patch and pulls

during the course of hto address in

Is It not a fact that congress In the
matter of the salut-to-the-flag Incident

the power to make war on Mexico?
How long will it be, tn your opinion,
before President Wilson will get that
seJute to the flag- for which he aevorifloed
the Uvea of eeventecn American boys

Is it not a fact that President Wilson
Invaded Mexico, captured and holds Vera

that the Mexicans would be fully Justi

driving them out?
If you are el nee re tn all your eelf

president, under threat of tendering your
resignation, that he carry out the spirit
of those treaties by waiting one year be

Is.lt not a fact that In his dictation to

OMAHA, Oct. 30. -To the Editor of The
Bee: In tho current lasue of The Bee
there appears an article relating to cer
tain statements that I am alleged to
have made regarding tho cltlxons' ticket
for the school board, which I regard es
very unfair to myself and to ths committee-
This article seeks to leave the
Impression that I am violently opposing
the clUrens ticket.
The facts are as follows: Several days
ago. In a conversation with some friends,
I made the statement that in electing a
ticket, I thought the candidate's ability
as a vote getter should be considered as
well as his. qualifications as a citizen.
This article says that because of the fact
that the ticket was made of business
men largely that I accused the commit
tee of playing "damned rotten politics."
I have never questioned the honesty
or sincerity of the gentlemen who had
to do with the making up of this ticket.
What I did soy was that I thought that
it was poor pontics not to have the ticket
more diversified in character. 80 much
for what was sold and reported. Fol
lowing Is what was said and not re
ported: (Because, pehaps. It had.no In
terest In this connection.) I made the
statement then and there that I should
vote the 0111x000 ticket, and I have ad
vised ovary one of my friends to do the
As to ths criticism of tho committee
made by me. It was never on the scors
of their political or personal honesty, end
to that extent I felt that your article Is
unfair to them and to me.
I am going to vote for these eight men
because I have confidence In them and
because should two or three of them be
defeated the board will not stay in the
hands of the element that Is now using
It and has been using It for years as a
political plaything. Tours very truly,
JAMES RICHARD SON.
Aa Appeal for Fair Play,
OMAHA. Neb.. Oct.. SO. To the Editor
of The Bee: I wish to thank you for
your liberality In printing the column,
"Who's Really Who. aa Candldatee for
the School Board." I have been enlight
ened, as many others, have doubtless
been. I have been a resident of Omaha
for several years and have always been
Interested In watching school affairs, as
X wss a principal for several years be
fore coming here.
Noticing so much publicity being given
the "cltlxcns' ticket" In a couple of
Omaha papers, I am led to aak a few
questions, which are prompted by a lit
tle looking around that I have done, and
will certainly be grateful If you will put
them before the public
Why were only a few self-appointed
citlxens" allowed to constitute this com
mittee and all others excluded? Is this
answered by a recent announcement that
this same committee Is already preparing
,to wage a campaign In the spring for
city officials?
I have read of the so-called Investiga
tion last spring. It looks to roe like a
political fraroeup to put the High School
of Commerce out of business, by attack
ing the principal, who has done so much
for ths city, probably more than any
other teacher, else why has the school
Attracted so much favorable comment
U over the country?
I have repeatedly read the statement.
tff the board that the teachers were not
Axtpped or demoted on account of their
testimony, as it was nothing that could
harm the principal, the school or any
orav Were they not disposed of on ac
count of underhanded methods calculated
to depose the principal and place, one of
their number In the prlndpalshlp?
Wy Is the present faculty and student
body a unit in strong support of. the con
duct of the school under Mr, II us ml eel's
supervision?
I have learned that the school board
at St, Joaeph paid Mr. Ruamlael a much
higher salary than any other teacher and
offered to raise It if he would consent
to remain there. Why did the secret
servioe men sent to the cities where he
has lived for ths lest twenty-five years
come ttack empty handed?
I hoa that your sense of fairness will
give ti ls letter space In your columns,
for there are two sides to every, ques
tion, and. as a former school man. I am
confide t that the biggest side has not

bees
the eollere, to say nothing of the sggra
vetlon. The home campus extennlonlots aay
that If the university is not consolidated
that ths agricultural coilcgs students
will be able to get all their work at the
farm. It Is true that a student might
perhaps get enough credits there to grad
uate, but hs could not get some of the
work hs wanted. For example, l am now
studying botany under Dr. Bessey. It
would naturally be Impossible for Dr.
Bessey to give lectures at ths state
farm. I expect to study sociology under
Dr. Howard, literature under Dr. Sher
man, history under Dr. Caldwell and eco
nomics under Dr. LeRosnlgnol. The time
of such men Is too valuable to waste In
trotting back and forth between two cam
puses. Therefore, the agricultural stu
dents must continue to waste time and
carfare or be deprived of contact with
some of the men under whom they most
desire to study. The present city campus
has a very poor location, surrounded as
It Is by railroad yards, wholesale houses
and the retail dlntrtcte of Lincoln. The
growth of the city will make the situa
tion worse, even If the eampus Is en
larged. The extent to which the northwestern
part of Lincoln has been turned Into a
business district Is well Illustrated by
an Interview which appeared In the Lin
coln News last summer. The school dis
trict is constructing a new school house
on a block which corners with the pro
posed extension to the campus. A well
known citizen of Lincoln, who owns a
large amount of property In this 'part
of the city, bitterly condemned the school
board for constructing such an expensive
school building. He said that a tS.OOO
building would 'be sufficient, and gave as
his reason that that part of Lincoln Is
rapidly ceasing to be a residence dis
trict. Yet this same man has been an
ardent advocate of the state expending

If It were not for the property owners
of this part of Lincoln and the mer

preference to the Interests of the prop

On your corn that it don't matter that

Of the food his bride hae cooked him
