The Suffragists' Program.
It Is rjulte natural that the suffrage workers.
notwithstanding the defeat of the suffrage
amendment In Nebraska, should immediately
take stock with a view to deciding on future
plans. According to the Lincoln Journal, which
purports to speak by the card, the battle will be.
taken up again, "probably in 1918," by which
time the growth In the number of suffrage states
will do away with what "it calls the only real
argument against immediate suffrage here;"
that other states are trying tbe matter out, and
their experience should guide us to a more safe
conclusion.
This must be taken to mean that the women
desiring votes will not make any demand upon
the coming legislature to submit an amendment
In 1916. The presumption Is that the members
of the legislature as representatives of distinct
constltutencies must regard the vote on suffrage
Jn their respective districts tbe same as an in
struction, In which rase a majority of the law
makers, regardless ot personal views, will find
themselves representing districts that voted
against woman suffrage. It must be remem
bered too, that to secure submission by the
legislature requires a three-fifths affirmative
vote In each house, which presents a still further
obstacle.
Under these conditions, the suffrage people
will do well to cross one bridge at a time, and
while they may feel encouraged to keep up their
propaganda, 1918 la far enough off for a lot of
things to happen In the interval.
Long; and Short Haul Again.
The opening of the Panama canal promises
to resurrect the old contention about the long
and short haul, because tbe railroads In asking
authority to make competitive rates to Pacific
coast ports Insist on being allowed to reduce
their charges on through business without re
ducing rates in the inter-mountain country over
Intervening territory. i
It Is explained on behalf of the railroads
that they cannot afford to meet canal com
petition, If they are obliged to make correspond
ing reductions to Intermediate points, and that
they would rather surrender the other business
to the canal If forced to an alternative. On tbe
other side, tbe only direct benefit which Interior
points can have from tbe nation's Investment in
the canal, to which they have all contributed,
must come from reduced transportation charges
on the goods they consume, and these reductions
can come only through the effect of; the com
petition between water and rail rates. If the
coast points alone are to have the advantage
accruing from canal traffic, then the canal will
prove to be a detriment to the people of the in
terior cities. .
This Is a much bigger problem than would
appear on the surface, affecting as It must the
Industrial development ot the whole western
country, and It will devolve on the Interstate
Commerce commission to treat It on broad lines
and In a far-seeing way.
Will Bonrbonism Strike Now t
President Wilson has never been free of
opposition ' within hig own party. "The New
Freedom" as a lash In the hands ot Mr. Bryan
chased the money devils out of the temple at
Baltimore, but It left very bitter resentment in
their hearts. Bourbonism Is still an element In
democracy. Tbe Bourbons have been much too
discreet, of course, to attack the president openly
so long as be appeared strong f broad, but now
a test baa come. The late election returns fail
to sfiow very much strength for the administra
tion, whose y failure ot endorsement almost lost
It control of the next house, together with some
governors and state legislatures, will this
break-down for "The New Freedom" give Bour
bonism Us opportunity? Will the old guard feel
courageous enough to come from under cover
now and begin what it has all along Intended
doing launching an anti-Wilson fight when
ever occasion presented? President Wilson has
done well In mollifying certain well known
belligerents, but at that if the battle starts and
some of these old warriors once get a good
sniff ot powder, there la no telling what might
happen. 8erlously, It begins to look as If by
116 we might be having an old-time democratic
family' quarrel as good as any ever waged In
tbe palmiest days of tha "Peerless Leader."
Ii This the Way to End the Wart
Tbe president ot the Los Angeles Municipal
Charities eomml&slon la quoted in a published
declaration as saying that relief aent to the non
combatants In Europe only means prolonging
the war and should be kept at home for our own
needy. ,
In other words, do nothing to stanch the
blood of the wounded, appease the cry of tbe
hungry or suocor the widow or orphan. Let tbe
ghouls of. war devour their prey unmolested so
that soon they will have no more prey to devour,
when peace will be restored. Away with army
surgeons, Red Cross nurses, hospitals and other
agencies for caring tor the maimed and miserable
on the field or In tbe home.
What a philosophy! We all want the war
ended, but hardly In this way.
Beaton for Thanksgiving;.
There are always many reasons for observing
tha spirit ot Thanksgiving day, but one reason,
this year, obscures all others. Governor More
bead has caught the Idea when he says In bis
proclamation:
Nebraska Joins with the other states of the union.
In praise for tha fact that while the eastern world Is
being rocked In the throes of war. Involving whole
nations In titter desolation. w are at peace. The
blessing of which, we sea In the contrast, more clearly
than ever before, stay He who guides the stars In
their courses, mercifully preserve us from war, and
under tha lead of those la high authority let ua follow
In tha path that lends to a perpetual peace.
The blessings of peace are greater than all
other blessings.
It will take more than a six weens" campaign
to counteract the poison against Omaha that has
been spread throughout Nebraska by political
demagogues and their yellow newspaper organs
leading people to believe that they cannot
walk the streets here without being assaulted by
"gunmen" or board a street car without having
their pockets picked. Down with tbe knockers
and mallgners!
A recess appointment has this advantage for
the hungry democrat over the other kind; that
tbe favored peraon takes possession at once with
out watting for an exchange of civilities between
the warring patronage dispensers.
What the t wl versify Owe Oaplaad
OMAHA, Nov. I.-T0 the Editor of The
Roe: Now that the question of university
removal has been settled, I think we all
agree that leaving such a matter to a
referendum was a mlsuee of the elective
franchise, it le safe to say that not (
per cent of the votes cast were based
upon a fair understanding of the ques
tion. Thousands of voters never even
heard of a university and do not under
stand tbe meaning of the word.
Can anybody dottfit that It the question
to abolish the State university altogether
were put to such a referendum vote what
tha probable result would be?
Removal to the farm campus was de
feated because of tha supposed cost to
the taxpayer. On that argument you have '
only to show the people of Nebraska that
loss than t per cent of the school popula
tion attends the State university, and
that the Rate university usee up about
ono-thlrtt of the taxes of the state- The
farmers of the state might save the ag
ricultural college, but there would ' be
nothing left of the colleges on the down
town campus.
However, as a result of the agnation
for removal the State university Is In
debted to Regent Oeorge Coupland of El
gin, Neb., for U.MO.000 that we now have
for a physical plant. The majority of
the Board ot Regents considered It an
Iridescent dream and a risky proposition
to ask for any such sum. In view of the
fact thnt past experience showed that no
legislature had been willing to appropri
ate more than KOO.COo at one . time for
buildings. It was contended that asking
for a building fund of W.Mo.000 might re
sult In no appropriation at all, but with
tha courage of his convictions. Regent
Coupland worked night and day through
two legislatures at his own cost and at
the expense of hla health to bring about
an appreciation of the need for a large
sum of money for tha university.
It was the education that the two legis
latures received on the question of re
n ovel that made them realise nut only
what a great university should be, but
how Inadequately we had been provided
with buildings In years past. In tbe hope
and belief that this money would be spent
to remove the unlvorodty to the farm
the sum of $2,500,000 waa ultimately pro
vided. During his long term as regent of tha
Stale university, Mr. Coupland has each
year given several months of hla own
time without expense vo the stats to what
waa to htm a labor of love. As one of
the leading farmers In Nebraska. In
tensely interested In the agricultural de
velopment of the state, a student and a
acolar, ho waa peculiarly fitted to and
did render the most valuable aervlce of
any resent on the hoard and It la a aad
commentary on tha state that It allowed
the Lincoln campus committee to defeat
such a man by misrepresentation and
slander.
Every friend of tha Etata university
and especially tha agricultural Interests
of tha stats of Nebraska will sincerely
regret Regent Coupland's retirement
Without hla untiring labors, hla optimism,
and hla personality the aura of 12,600,000
would never hava been appropriated. A I
know that to him the consciousness of
having done hla duty 's sufficient reward,
but it will always remain a matter ot
regret to his many frlenda that the causa
nearest his heart, the desire to build up
one great university on the farm cam
pus, was defeated by the methods em
ployed. F. I HALL.ER.

Out of college at t9, a mine worker in Butte. Mont.,
at 23, a mine owner at e boss of the copper ramp at
W), victor over tha Amalgamated at 22, high financier In
Wall Street at ft, dejid at 42, briefly outlines the
meteoric career of Frits Augustas HeHnxe of Butte
and New York, who snswered the final summons at
Saratoga, N. Y., a few daya ago.
Helnxe mad millions out of Ma mining ventures
In Butte and lost many of them In his tussle with the
financial sports of Wall Street. He learned the mining
game right In tha drifts of the copper camp, and his
knowledge, combined with grit and d&rhlng energy,
enabled him to mora than hold hla own In his battles
with such copper magnatta aa Senator Clark ami
Marcus Daly. Among the miners he was a great
favorite. Ho waa the first mine owner to establish
the eight-hour day. He paid top wages to his men.
If sickness or other misfortune befell, his treasury
was at their service. Consequently, with Clark and
Daly warring for political supremacy In Montana,
Helnse's popularity with the miners became a valuable
political asset, practically giving him the balance of
power, which he utilised to his own profit.
At onertlme In the crisis of the fight with the Amal
gamated, Hetnte exercised such Influence with the
courts of Butte snd the state at large that tha Amal
gamated company could not expedite Judicial action
until Helnse had taken $7,000,000 worth of ore out of
a drift claimed by tha copper oomblht, and for which
he had given a reimbursing bond ot only $2,000,000.
That aucceestul play put htm $5,000,000 to the good and
doubtless prompted tha Amalgamated to pay him
$11,000,000 for aU hla Interests In Butte,
Aw Rasters Pre4aet.
Ilelnte was not a product of Butte.. Ha waa born In
Brooklyn, N. Y., the youngest son of German parents.
After having been graduated from Columbia young
Hetnse, who was then Just past 19, looked about him
for an outlet for that energy, both mental and physi
cal, which has always been one of his most marked
characteristics. Mines and mining had Interested Mm
from early boyhood, and he resolved to try the west
ern country aa a field for hla endeavors. Hla father
refused to aanctlon tbts plan, and for tha first Uma
young Helnxe disregarded the paternal edict. He told
his father that he had made up hie mind and woull
not be persuaded to turn from the path he had chosen.
Then he bought a ticket for Butte.
Helnse's advent In Butte caused no stir. He was a
youth, and there was nothing In hie appearance to
denote that ha possessed any particular genius for
discovering copper mines or developing their- hidden
wealth. Ha made friends easily, and those who knew
him beet learned that he was an engineer, a metallur
gist, had done some writing on mining topics for a
technical Journal and had a talent for music.
Down to Business.
Early In 1W1 Helnxe succeeded In raising capital
and Incorporating the ore purchasing company, and
began the erection of a smelter; In which he planned
to Introduce new methods In the reduction of copper
ore. Experienced mining men laughed whan they spoke
of "Helnze'a Folly." That was what they called th
now smelter. They grew facetious oivr . "fools and
their money," and prophesied that the young man
from Brooklyn would be traveling eastward before
the year was out.
. While Helnxe was building hla reduction works he
waa negotiating with James Murray, one of tha oldest
mine owners la Butte, for the lease of Murray's rain
They came to terms, and by tha time tha smelter
waa ready for businesa the young man had taken out
a large quantity of ore for treatment under hla new
process. Under tha agreement with Murray the leaaea
waa to give him a certain percentage of the ore taken
from the mine, but this jercentaga varied according
to the grade of ore treated. Murray had assumed thr.t
tha new company would, strive to get out only tho
highest grade, on which ha would realise the highest
percentage. Contrary to expectations. Helnse seemed
satisfied with an Inferior grade of ore, aa hla new
methods of reduction brought a profit aa large as was
usually obtained from ore of a superior grade,
A Flay that 'railed.' "i .
On the day the smelting) operations ware to begin
Murray brought suit for annulment of the oontract and
obtained an Injunction which shut down .the mlnn. '
Deprived of his source of or supply for his smelter,
Helnse, It was believed, would be unable to carry out
his copper contracts and would be obliged to shut
down, and, with no funds to fight Murray In tbe
courts, the old miner waa thought to be in a fair
way to soon own the whole works. ' .
It was here that tbe young engineer's study of '.he
conditions In Butte came to his aid. Ha leased the
, Minnie Haley mine that had been worked by two or
three companies and had been abandoned as worth
lesa This Investment was the cause of much merri
ment among tha old timers who were friends ot Mur
ray. Helnsa smiled in hla qutet way and said, "Wait
a while."
Within thirty days h Was digging tha richest ore
ever mined in Butte out of the supposed worthless
mine. Soon the smelting works had to be enlarged,
and with the money taken out of tha eld mln Helnsa
defended the ault brought by Murray and won. Three
years later Helnxe waa able to purchase for $400,000 a
mine which has sine developed Into a property val
ued at $io,ooo.fo.
Later on. when the tight with the Amalgamated
crowd grew hot, Helnse bought one-sixth Interest la
the Michael Davttt mm for $!,. It was a played
out hoi in tha ground. Helnsa knew that, but the
Amalgamated crowd did not. As a part of hla gam
the mine waa put up at auction, and Hetvse's straw
bidders put up the price until tha Amalgamated bid
ders offered $401,000 and got It. Holns cleaned up
$86,000 on the deal - - -
Eight years ago Helnse moved ftotn Butta -to' New
York with hla millions and buokt-4 the Wall Street
game, narrowly escaping the law which aent to

German Victory on Sea
Springfield Republican: The fact la that tha British

New York World: In tonnage tha Chilian victory

Louisville Courier Journal: The German Davy con
tinues to clip units of strength from the heavier forces
of the allies, with which it would hardly be able to

Chicago Tribune: Events thus far la the naval war

THE DUEL.
Eugene Field.
The gingham dog and the calico cat
elide ty side on the table sat;
'Twas half paat twelve, and (what do you
think!)
Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and th Chinese
plate .
Appeared to know aa sure aa fate
There waa going to be a terrible spat.
(I wasn't there; I simply state,
What waa told to me by the Chinese
plate.)
The gingham dog went "Bow-wow-wow,"
And the calico cat replied, "Mee-owl"
The air waa littered an hour or so,
With bits of gingham and calico.
While the old Dutch clock In tha
chimney place
Up with ttr hands before Its face.
Far it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind; I'm only telling you
What tha old Dutch clock declares Is
true!)
Tha Chinese plat looked very blue.
And walled, "Dh, dear, what shall we
do?"
But the gingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that.
Rmptoylng every tooth and claw
In the awfulleet way rou ever saw
And, oh! how th gingham and calico
flew!
(Don't fancy I exaggerate
1 got my newa from th Chinese
plate!)
Next morntmr, where the two had sat.
They found no trace of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day.
That burglars stole that pair away!
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this: They ate each other upt
Now what do you really think of that?
(The old Dutch clock, tt told me so,
And that la how I cam to know.)
