Ixx-ally tho rrnult of the clertlon shows a
kipn divcrlralnatlon of the votor who, while gir
Ing prefflremr to his party ticket, refuses to
ignore the perHonal character iof the candidates,
or to "dwatlow.it whole"' solely because of the
label. Jt shows also the strength accumulated
by the various candidates already entrenched in
office, Reeking another term upon the record of
service already performed. Itv shows further
that the people rexent and rebuke the resort to
dirty and unfair methods, and decline to be
used to carry on vendettas for selfish Interests.
A number of candidates whom The Bee
would have much preferred Jo soe elected have
missed out, for te most part victims of their
own mistakes or of tha ovor-zeal of foolish
friends. That the Omaha candidate for gover
nor should lose so decisively In his home county,
where normally he should run ahead of bis
ticket. Is due to condition! that require no de

the winner's "strength as of the loser's weakness.

Back to Old Party Lines.
The most striking feature of the election' re
turns, taking the country as a whole, Is the re
cdjustment along old party lines.
The political upheaval of two years ago was,
as every one knows, due to the schism that di
vided (he previously dominant majority Into re
publicans and progressives, and permitted the
democrats to clip in between them. The vast
majority of republicans who voted for other
party candidates for president plainly had no In
tention whatever of permanently leaving this re
publican fold, and have taken th'a first oppor
tunity offered to Join again In supporting pub
lican candidate" wherever those candidates
squared with republican principles, and pos
sessed records commanding publio confidence.
The result Is fhe election of republican gov
ernors J n several states that went' democratic
two years ago, and substantial gains in congres
sional representation. Whether or not It turns
out .that the house Is still under democratic coiy
trol, tha margin la sure to be close, and the op
position will be a republican opposition with
which the few scattering progressives will be
compelled to align themselves. In a word, 1114,,
viewed aa a prelude to 1916, foreshadows clearly
that the next presidential election will be
another political battle royal between the demo
crats and the reorganized .republicans.

- Again, the Grade Crossing!.
With the city, and the people as Individuals
co-operating In so many wise provisions for tha
regulation of, street traffic to protect life, it U
a shame not to have the ungrudging co-operation
also of mora, of the railroads, especially in the
construction of concrete , grade crdsalngs. 'All
along the Belt Line,. from the Nineteenth street
boulevard, around to Leavenworth street, life is
exposed to ( great ifciard at these Intersections,

, i Georgia's Praotioal Philanthropy.
' According to reports from Atlanta," ona
Georgia planter has agreed .to locate fort Bel-ej
glan farmers on land rent-free for two or three
years if they will .-coma and till It. The plan Is
said to be catching on with many other Georgia
planters and may be pushed with om success.
On tha faca of It, It aeema like a most generous
piece of philanthropy -and It la but It la mora
than that; it Is a very practical Investment for
any American land owner to make. The Belgians,
let us remember, are rated as the most Intensive
land tillers In the' world. Their country tha one
theyhad, at least ta small, land is scarce and
baa been cultivated for centuries. It requires tha
most scientific methods, therefore, to conserve
the soil and oroduce enough crocs for the com-
nion ed. The Belgian farmer long ago dis
covered this and ba set the pace for the rest of
tha world In intensive agriculture. The south
needs this ao badly that It could w elf afford to
make substantial inducements for the settlement
of a lot of these Belgian farmers. But the south
la not alone In this need. Almost every section
and -state of our country need the same thing
and so some of tho rest pf us might do well to
borrow .the hospitable southerner's Ingenuity an
this occasion and send In soma bids for aV few
Belgian farmers ourselves. v,'v ' " ' ' '
Goine Off Half-Cocked. '
It took Turkey but a little while to appreci
ate lta serious blunder in going off half-cocked
and plunging Into the maelatrom of war from
any cause short of sheer necessity. Doubtless,
the Turk would have been glad to have acted on
his own account and kept out,- but he seems to
have been unable to resist the pressure that waa
brought to bear. ' Russia refuses to accept the
half-baked apology, except on conditions with
which Turkey could hardly be expected to com
ply and retain a vestige of Its close relations
with the mighty German empire. The old guard.
represented by the grand vUier, in anxiety to
avoid hostilities at this time, might have been
willing to submit to the Russian note, but evi
dently the young Turks, having gained their
spurs, were too strong for the older party, tor
Turkey baa derided not to oust tha German of
fleers from Its battleiihlpsV It Is, therefore, re-
tsctantly, still in the war and Ihe world may now
expect as ferocious fighting between these Im
placable foes on tho south, Russia and Turkey,
as It baa witnessed on the north between the
allies and Germany.

Irlanmen an the War.
Tha arrival In New York Ian wrek of some fO
young irishmen, very desirable aa '"cannon fodder
In tha Kuroprnn war. eaclted enough comment to be
carried In the prcsa cilspatchea. The Immlgianta aaid
they came kn srarrh of work, and decllnel tj confirm
the assumption that they left Ireland to escape mili
tary service, owing to turtent rumoia of cnjierrlptlon
befog Inevitable In tha t'nlted Kingdom and Ireland.
Humors of the paaange of a conscription act werj
widespread In London aa early as August last, and
doubtless have spread throughout tho h-landa. owing
to the increasing Intensity of the struggle. Vet auch
rumora are a contradiction of the claim put forth
aeinl-offlclHy. that there are at the present moment
l.&riO.floo men enrolled and in training for active aervlce
In the army training camps of the kingdom. If tha
latter claim la true, tho possibility of Conscription s
remote. Tha latest report of enlistments In Ireland
placed the total at SSflO, a much lower percentage of
the population than tha roster of recruits In Englan 1,
Scotland ir Wales. But rondltlona In Ireland ai
abnormal. In their exhausting struggle for the right
of self-government the people have seen and felt the
fierce opposition of tory politicians and the dallying
policy of the liberals. They have drunk to the dregs
tha embittered cup.jof alien hatred. No right or favvr
has been ronceded willingly or heartily. Every help
ful measure of recent years has been enacted grudg
ingly. Even the home rule tneaaure dragged along
until hope was all but dead, wag Immediately hung up
until the, war la oVer. Such treatment doea not makn
for military enthusiasm or Infuse Irishmen wltn
eagerness to fight for the empire- An Omaha visitor
to Ireland last August made a circuit of the eouthevn
half of the Island, from Dublin to Klllarncy, Tralee,
limerick and GaJway and back to Dublin. People
with whom ba conversed and remarks overheard gavq ,
the Impression that recruiting would not be much of
a success In these localities. Farmers were harvest
ing a bumper crop of grain and hay and wero com
fortably fixed tn a material sense, But all other lines
of Industry were exceedingly dull, work scarce, and
the number of unemployed far beyond the noraml.
Thla condition waa expected to help recruiting. To
tha suggestion that the Irish volunteers, composed of
young men, might be Infected by tho war fever, the
answer wag that the organisation waa pledged to de
fend Ireland -no more, no leaa. Tha fear of conscrip
tion may have been a factor In sending the young
Irishmen away from home, but the most ImpelllnK
motive, aa. the. visitor observed, la the scarcity of em
ployment and tho almost total lack of opportunity for
advancement In trade or Industry.

Jfot for Short Ballot.
OXFORD, Neb.. Nov. 1-To the Editor
of The Bee: I have followed your argu
ment closely for a short ballot and con
sider you ri pieachlng a dangerous doc
trine tn asking that the governor ba
given an appointive power that would
make hlrrt the czar of the atate. I can
hot believe it would work for honest or
efficient government, neither would It
lessen corruption In .office or purify noml
natlona In our primaries. That we have
been making aome grave mistakes In
shaping our election laws In recent years
no Tandld man can deny, and to Imagine
that we can correct those abuses by pass
ing more Idiotic laws along the same
linea la the height of folly. It Js true
that under our convention aystem of
nominating political candidates instead
of correcting those evils which were
simply abuses of the system ourVeform
era condemned the system Itself and pro
ceeded to give, us the direct primary,
which haa proved In every state, where
tried ena of the most unamerlcSn and
rotten laws ever enacted.
After our reformers got the expensive
primary they conceived the Idea that
aome of the expense could be aaved by
cutting out the annual electlona and re
quiring the voters to do two years" work
In one. Now they begin to see the result
of doubling up the candldatea and change
their hobby cry that the people are com
petent and "should rule In making nomi
ne tlona direct Instead of delegating that
power to others," to tha more modem
progressive Idea that the people are In-,
competent to handle the progressive bal
lot with Its party circle swindle. Ha ref
erendum, lta initiative, and any old can
didate who has the filing fee and the
office Itch.' Tbey offer na a panacea for
the blundering mean they have 'made of
our election machinery the bobtalled bal
lot, and I am aorry to aee The Bee. which
la generally an advocate of aane legisla
tion, In their bandwagon whooping It up
for the so-called ahort ballot.
The people will never vote to disfran
chise themselves unless they are trapped
through the party circle fraud.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Nov. J.-T0 the
Editor -of The Bee:' In anawer' to Mr.
D. C. John'a letter, I wish to etete that
I had no intention of "rMloulously mle
ttpresentlng" him. I did not say that boll
weevil destroyed sugar cane. I asked If
any one ever heard of boll weevil do-,
atroying the sugar beet. In Mr. John'a
letter of the 224 he stated that Germany
was the only sugar producing country
affected by the war, and I came back
with the statement that It waa not. Cane
sugar Is, absolutely, not one bit better
than beet sugar, and I can prove that
to Mr. John or any one else.
If Wisconsin's beet crop only averages
four tons per acre (which I doubt very
much) I agree that the farmers and beet
sugar manufacturers of that state should
call a halt and quit the business as soon
aa they can. ' Without rains Nebraaka
or any other beet growing state in the
union would go ahead of that. The 1911
beet crop of Nebraaka will average
eleven to twelve tons per acre., and there
-ia no beet growing atate that will go be
low eight tone (unless Wisconsin), anS
aome will produce from fifteen to twenty
live tons uer acre. - . '
So, beet sugar cannot 'compete with
cane In coat of production, but in quality
beet sugar la aa good aa -cane, and if
augar (cane) , la ever admitted rree of
duty, 1 concede that beet sugar will
ce.
What do you suppose would be the
price of sugar In thla country today If
it were not tor tha enormous beet sugar
supply that Ig helping to meet the Amer
ican demand tn the face of abnormal for
eign demand T The European war . Is
forcibly demonstrating . the absolute
necessity, of the United States placing
herself in a position to produce her own
augar. Inatead of a special war tax
which would be unpopular and a direct
burden upon' all classes of people, to
meet the expected decrease In tariff reve
nues; why not restore the duty on sugar
and thug 'at one and the same time put
V'O.OOO.OOu annually Into the treaaury and
save the beet sugar iiwluatry?
. If augar goea on the free list It will
mean the cloaing of practically every beet
sugar mill In i tho United States. Now,
Mr. John, to get down to your 4 cent
sugar. If the beet mills are forced to
clone ran the people afford to give the
American Sugar Refinery and lta alliea
a complete monotony of the augur busi
neaa? No, although thla Is what will fol
low If sugar goea on the free Hat For
eign countries win raise their prices on
the raw product, refiners wilt have to pay
higher for same and it means that the
refiners, who can never think of oper.
ating at a loaa, will raise the price on tha
refined product and the result la that
your 4 cant suggar la nearer to I cents
or 7 cents and your theory ahot full of
holes.
- Closing beet mills will mean throwing
out of employment thousands of men
skilled In this line of work; it will mean
the taking away - from the augar beet
towna and different communlliea where
beet mill a are now located, aomethtng
between SGOO.eoe and 11,600,000 paid to the
farmer for beets and for factory ' la
bor and practically all of thla money
stays In the sugar beet town until free

It go? It will all go lo foreign countrlea
