Civil Service Pensions.
The question of pensions for civil service
emploje of the government Is again uppermost
at the session of the national convention of mail
farriers In Omaha. It vitally concerns not
alone the mail men, but all those who are on
the government payroll in appointive positions,
whether It be federal, state, county or city. The
extension of the merit system to cover public
employes has had the effect of establishing the
rermanency of employment, and making the
holder of the Job as Independent of the vicissi
tudes of politics as may be. In only one ma
terial way may his present position be vastly
Improved, and that Is by the establishment of
a pension system, to which the older and du
alled members of the force may be retired.
The question has been up for debate for a
long time, and much has been said for and
cgainst It. Chief of the arguments In favor of
the establishment of the pension roll Is that
the service does not permit of advance beyond
a fixed limit, and that the pay Is not such as to
ensure a liberal competence, even by exercise
of extraordinary thrift. The result of this con
altion la that men cling to the payroll as long
aa possible, and when removed by cause other
tr an death or misbehavior, they are worn out,
either by work or mishap. To be protected
sgslnst an old age of penury la what the civil
service employe asks of the government.
Against the pension, the most frequent and po
tent arrument is that it dtecourages thrift. The
employe whose future is fixed by the govern
ment will not be aa prudent with his own af
fairs as If he knew himself to be dependent on
his own efforts.
Details of the plan need not be discussed
now. That the principle baa been adopted in
Cmaha as to school teachers, firemen and po
licemen, indlcatea a strong local presumption
In favor of pensions for government employes.
The mail carriers are among friends, so far as
this part of their work Is concerned, as well as
on all others.
Great Day (or Cheering.
Labor day was a field day for enthusiasm
everywhere in this glorious land, but nowhere
did personal vim rise to higher tide than In
Chicago, where the "Frlenda of Peace" held
their first annual convention. These devotees
of a great cause shouted loud and long for al
most everybody on the map, except the kaiser
and King George. Congressman Volmer was
cheered for roasting the president because of
his foreign policy, and William Jennings Bryan
was cheered tot defending the man he deserted.
Apparently, the delegates were so strong for
peace they would have cheered even for T, R.,
had some one brought blm to the front as a topic
for a laudatory address. For some reason Con-
ressman Barthold ducked the meeting, and
thereby missed out on an ovation that would
have lightened his path during the tedium ot
the coming session of congress, nor waa our sen
ior present to press his cause and get his share
of the plaudits. The convention overlooked the
embargo issue, but the resolutions adopted Indl-
te a willingness to keep the peace and help
all others do It. The question as to whether the
cause of peace has been forwarded is open, but
it is very sure that no munition factories wfil be
closed as tha result of the gathering.
"Made in Omaha" means that it'a made by
well-paid, intelligent men and women like those
who marched In our Labor day parade by men
and women who help to make Omaha the up-to-date,
progressive, good town that it is.
Colonel Bryan congratulatea President Wil

Great Britain's Latest Invasion.
Great Britain's latest invasion of the United
Ptates in impressive enough, and In time will
orae to receive the attention it deserves. Just
now it Is likely to be passed over a an Incident
In the course of a stupendous political and
economic upheaval that involves the world In its
cataclysmic manifestation. One hundred and
eighty millions in gold and gilt-edged American
securities have come from London to New York
within a fortnight, the richest of modern argo
sies, to buoy up the credit of the Allies in their
business transactions with the manufacturers ot
th United States. In time of peace such a dem
onstration of actual wealth would be unneces
sary, but conditions now prevailing require the
immediate presence of the caah. To aome de
giee this situation la prophetic of what must fol
low the end of the war, for international credit
v 111 yet be disturbed, and Europe's great nations
will find the effects of their present debauch of
destruction a heritage fo generatlona yet to
come.
Nebraika'a Tax Boll.
According to the flgurea furnished from the
taxing board at the atate house, the total wealth
of Nebraska foots up to almost two and one-half
billions of dollars. This total Is probably not
t'iry far under the actual wealth of the state,
but It Is not very Impressively set forth. Mere
bigness of figures Is not especially desirable, yet
even normal modesty will warrant the truth1 bo
lug told, and the world Is not aware of oar atate
hubit of dividing our possessions by five In order
to obtain a basts for th tax levy. For this rea-
ton the array ot figures as published Is likely to
five a distorted Impression of the true situation
ii Nebraska, l-'or example, It will be rather em
larrasslng to have strangers think w possess
only f4.0C0.000 worth of household goods for
the accommodation of a million and a quarter of
well-housed Inhabitants. Nor is It likely that
the roll sets forth the exact conditions as regards
any division ot our wealth, but so long ss tha
Mascot method prevalla, so long will certain
dierrepuncVes and Inequality exist. The diffi
cult problem of devising a satisfactory method
for valuing property for taxation purposes is still
unsolved. - ,

OKA HA. Sept. 7.-To th Editor of Th
Be: Th other morning I waa tiding
with a land merchant and a representa
tive ot an organisation of capital. Bald
tha land merchant: "Let me tell ou.
John, without our friend hearing It, that
for rent' signs are becoming too plentiful
la Omaha." John very solemnly an
swered. "You are right. O truth a Is be
coming overbuilt. People are leaving old
houses and demanding new ones." I ran
turned an explanation, when John re
marked, "I did not think t was going to
atart a single tax discussion."
For the benefit of all let me aay that
you cannot speak of "for rent" stgna and
overbuilding" In the preaenoe of a alngla
taxer without starting something. So
listen to a few faata.
Omaha ha been singularly free of "for
rent" algns for many years. If you do
not wish to see It Join the Denver and St
Louis class In this respect, listen:
Capital and labor unite to produce
wealth. Th primary essential for them
both la land. Neither can do a turn with
out land. Tha land la owned by a few.
Therefore both muat pay tribute to those
few. Th more enterprising they become
th greater beoomee th demand for land.
Conaquently tha higher will rise land val
ues and rent. The greater must then be
come the tribute paid to tha land owner
and the lee will bo the reward to both
capital and labor. This la a plain and
pavlpable truth, but on which organlsa
tlona ot capital, In their ignorance. Ig
nore: one which, In Ua Ignorance, organ
ised labor does not aee.
To those who believe (and I am one of
them) that Billy Sunday will Improve tha
moral tone of Omaha, let me aay: It ha
does It wilt stimulate local enterprise. It
will encourage people to come here.
Omaha Will grow. Land valuaa and rents
will rise. Both capital and labor will pay
still higher tribute to th owner of the
land. Finally the atraln will reach the
breaking point. Decline will commence.
Then what will become of the moral tone?
It muat decline, too. For a laborer Who
la hungry cannot view moral principles
In th same light aa when he Is well fed.
Oh, If Billy Sunday, with his great in
fluence, oould but grasp these funda
mental economic truths. He would then
think a little more about aiding In tha
building of an aconomlo foundation upon
which might rest a religious and moral
atructure more enduring. For the souls
of men will never be reached and purified,
and ao maintained so long ss there re
main a struggle for existence.

Now tell me. ye critics, did you ever hear
A sound that contains more music and

A rythm more joyous, a cadence mora

Than th merry old sohool bell, the
tramping of feet. I
The voice of children, their laughter and
shout.
As through the wide gateway they pass
In snd out.
With bright, shining face and quick,
willing feet.
When they've tasted of knowledge and
found th fruit sweet?
The rich tree of knowledge has scattered
Ita fruit.
And the armies of children are now in
pursuit
Down the smooth, easy road, all flooded
with light.
Each new turn disclosing fresh fields
of delight.
Their minds are unfolding by work and
y play.
Gleaning, absorbing and storing swsy:
They sre learning tha value of courage
and tight:
They are learning to conquer by klnd-
neea, not might;
They are learning to do with hands and
with brain.
On this bmad road to knowledge they're
treading amain.
New recruits each year, with banner
unfurled.
Take the first step from babyhood Into
the world.

For the' school bell has called the kiddle

From the shelter of bom, to th great
wide unknown.
Where they timidly venture for first

Still othera draw near where their roada

And each on hia own futur way must

Then a little more sober, a little less

They become, ss life's path spreads out
at their feet.
Th rich and the poor, the strong nd

The willful and passionate, th mild and
