6ut-of-Doon Holiday Sports.
Omaha offers such a plethoric program of
outdoor sports todsy that choice will be diffi
cult, if one is not already prejudiced In favor of
rne or the other. The spectacle Is encouraging,
too, for it Indicate a wholesome, healthy inter
eat in things aside from the more absorbing
tasks of life. A strong and sturdy race has al
ways found time Tor tests of skill and prowess,
of strength and endurance, between man and
man, noting by the qual ty of the performance
the progress of the race in Its development. It
is a long way from the laurel wreath that re
warded the victor In the Grecian stadium to the
fortunes ' nowadays hung up as purees for the
champions who compete, and this, perhaps, de
rotes advance. At any rate, the opulence of the
rowsrd is indicative of the concern the Ameri
can public hss in the event, and its willingness
tn bestow largess on the winner.
Automobile racing, wrestling and base ball,
the great professional sports to be exemplified
here today, are strenuous In their every aspect,
end the winners are men endowed beyond their
fellows with those singular qualities of mind
and body essential to succesr. Absolutely per
fect mental and muscular co-ordination is de
manded In these sports, and It Is the recognition
of this by those less gifted that makes the cham
pion a leader In his class. But lack of this quali
fication does not deter the American from Join
ing In the game that Is plsyed under the blue
sky, and the "duffer" gets quite as much per
sonal benefit as does the specialist from the
port. . .
Whether it be golf, or tennis, base ball or
boating, shooting or sailing, automoblllng or
wrertling. the Omaha program today has some
thing for all, and the nstion's birthday will be
signalized by such a general demonstration of
cutdOor play as will expand lungs, clear brains,
ard make everybody feel better for having taken
part In It.
How Many American Securities Held Abroad t
How many American securities are held
abroad? This has been a pertinent question
ever since the beginning of the war, when the
New Tork Stock exchange was closed down tight
for months for fear of utter demorlllsation from
the dumping of foreign-owned stocks and bonds
on. our money market. It goes without saying
that European holdings of American securities
have furnished the purchasing power for mil
lions of American foodstuffs, and other articles
supplied to the belligerent countries over and
above the war loans floated on this side for that
purpose. That foreign holdings of American
stocks and bpnds are therefore now lower than
they have been for many years is the conclusion
of expert opinion, which places the aggregate
considerably below the common estimate, at from
5, 000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000. '
Rearing on this situation a report made by
L. F. Loree, as 'chairman of the committee to
check up the foreign hold'ngs la American rail
roads, is quoted by the National City bank circu
lar, fixing the total at 2.67,000, 000, based
vpoa investigation or tne registers or a hundred
companies, and upon the Income tax certificates
filed by them. With this starting point, any
estimate that .would make other American see
cu ritles owned abroad exceed the amount or rail
road securities would surely be excessive. The
suggestion is made that the government alone
could, and therefore should, make the most ac
curate possible exhibit by checking the Income
tux certificates of all kinds of corporations filed
with the Treasury department, which ahould
(how domestic and foreign ownership at least
wherever subject to the Income tax. This, we
believe, Is a fairly ssfe guetfs that the after
the-war inventory will disclose Europe owing us
more than we will owe Europe, counting In all
the European investments in American securities
and other property at their most liberal valuations.
Safety at Sea,
Just as the railroads persistently opposed
the federsl law. that required that all rolling
stock be equipped with safety appliances, so are
the vessel owners arraying themselves against
the so-called seaman's bill passed by the last
congress. The sponsors of that measure Insist
It was not designed to lay any additional hard
ship on ship owners, but to require that ships
that put out to sea under the American flag be
manned by a sufficient crew of experienced sea
men to make certain of safety of vessel, and
company To accomplish this, It also fixes re
quirements tor the living conditions of sailors
on board ship, and for payment of wages at
stated times and not at the will of the captain.
Sad experience has shown that ship owners
have not always shown that high regard for
safety that might reasonably be expected when
public patronage is sought Trom a startling
list of shipwrecks has come the story of crews
of men unaccustomed to the handling of boats,
and unfamiliar with the operation of the life
saving devices provided. Even la the latest In
stance, that or the Lusltanla, the captain testi
fied on the stand that his crew "lacked practice'
In handling the boats.
The objection urged with the strongest force
Is that the seamen's law puts American vessels
at auch disadvantage with vessels not o ham
pered as to drive ours out of commission. Other
nations may be slow la taking up the move
ment, but after November 1, next, when the law
goes fully into effect, the passenger on board a
ship flying the American flag will have the com
fort of knowing that his personal safety Is being
looked after by competent officers and men to
the extent that legal prerequisites csn safe
guard the human factor.
The sport of sports hears the knell of ap
proaching doom with the sale of the Belmont
and Vanderbllt stables or raoers. Machinery
succeeds horseflesh In the racing game, and is
coming to the front with characteristic speed.
Tbe race track beoomeg the speedway. Indian

Twice Told Tales
A Sad Mistake.
When the talk turned to domestic follclty this story
was told by Congressman Stanley K. Bowdle or Ohio:
Recently a eolored party living In the suburb of
a big city married a large brunette named Luctads.
Three weeks later ho appeared at tle ottice of a
lawyer looking as If he might have been dented with
flat-iron and bumped Into by a road roller.
"Can't atand It no longer, bos." he sadly remarked
to the legal one. "I want a diva wee from dat L.U
clnda. La' ting she .chucked at me was de stove,
Tomorrer It will be d hlmbly."
"That's all right Ham," soothingly returned the
lawyer, seeking to effect a reconciliation. "Every
thing will com out all right Besides, you kaow you
took Luclnda for better or for wore.
"Tea, ash." admitted fcWnbo- 'o I did. eah. but
