We would like to see this bond deal fully
gone Into, bnrsuse there is more back of It
ban even the governor has disclosed, and pre
sumably other considerations as well for placing
with the particular agent who wrote it, and
the peculiar division of the commission on the
premium.
Why was the million-dollar bond handed to
Judge England, a lawyer, rather than an insur
ance a Kent, In the fare of the clamorous com
petition of all the bond Insurance underwriters
n the state? It Is of record that Judge Eng
and Is a republican, and not a democrat, and
further, that his signature appears as one of
the original petitioners bringing out the candi
dacy of the republican nominee for governor
vbo ran against Oovernor Morehead. It Is of
record, too, that Judge England, from being an
active champion of the republican candidate for
governor, suddenly switched shortly before the
election to become a still more active champion
of Governor Morehead, the' democratic candi
date for governor. Did the writing of the treas
urer's bond have anything to do with this polit
ical transformation? And was Governor More-
bead, as the chief beneficiary, in on the deal?
This bond proposition has ramifications not
yet in full view. We believe the people of
Nebraska who foot the bills want to know more
about it.
Keeping Codes Secret

German Memorandum on the Arabic.
The brief official communication from Ber
lin on the case of the Arabic outlines the posi
tion of the German government in that specific
instance only. It does not close the matter, but
leaves the way open for the further presentation
of the views of the kaiser on the matter. As it
stands, the incident turns on the action of the
commander of the submersible, who had been in
structed not to fire on a merchantman without
warning, but who reports that he acted in what
he deemed to be an emergency requiring him to
defend his own craft. That such instructions
had been given to the comanders of Germany's
indersea fleet ia a partial recognition of the
claims for neutral and noncombatant rights set
the note of the president in the Lu si tan I a case,
and on which our grievance turns, is the demand
for a disavowal by the German government of
the action of the captain of the submarine in
torpedoing that liner without warning. This
yet remains to be answered, but should be an
swered categorically. The question of indem
nity can easily await future determination. In
the tone of the present communication may be
found support for the belief that the German j
government is steadily approaching the point of
yielding its whole position as to the Lusltanla.
Carrying Europe's Credit.
That the splendid position of the United
States In the world of af'alrs today is fully ap
preciated in Europe is established by the arrival
in New York of a notable commission from
England and France, sent to negotiate with
American financiers for the preservation of the
financial credit of the Allies. In some respects
this is one of the most Important delegations
that ever crossed the Atlantic, and its presence
at this time gives to the war added Interest for
Americans. Recent raids on the credit of Eng
land and France by stock exchange speculators
forced to the attention of the statesmen of those
countries the necessity of making such arrange
ments in this country aa will protect them in
future transactions. They are frankly looking
forward to the negotiation of a loan, probably
half a billion of dollars, to serve aa. a basis for
any purchases they may maks In this country.
This naturally presumes that buying war
munitions and food supplies will be extended
rather than diminished. It also indicates that
the financiers of the United States do not expect
to pay any great attention to the suggestion of
the president, made during the early daya of the
war, that one good way for manifesting our neu
trality would be to decline European loans. The
bankers will get their share of the war business.

Fanners and the Experts.
The action of the Nebraska Farmers' union
in connection with the agricultural "expert" is
not to be interpreted as meaning that the tiller

the scientific man who is trying to aid in farm

will Insist that the adviser shall know what has

for the last few years have been bedeviled by a
host of "specialists," who have been long on
theory and short on practice, and the resolirtion
adopted shows the natural resentment of. this
Interference with tho business of farming. The
great state universities of the west all maintain

WlfKN rm Jajrow and Inslng exchange corre

translated before they can be presented to the ad
dressee. What would happen should sucn messages be
sent In plain Kngllsh Or Oerman nobody seems to
know. Abracadabra'' Is tha accepted language ot
diplomacy, and continues to be used without question.
Manifestly, however, there are many messages sent
by this government to Its various departments and
representatives concerning tha purport of which se
crecy Is tha prime ersentlsl. To this end, each de
partment of the government has Its own code, and
these are guarded with tho utmost vigilance. Copies
of these are entrusted only to the chosen few, but In
spite of this and other precautions several copies
have at different times escaped. In tho San Fran
cisco Times Illustrated Weekly, Harry B. Klrtland.
formerly military coda expert of the War department,
states that tha War department has been the one to
suffer most, as when, for example, several copies of
lis code disappeared In the Ban Francisco earthquake.
He gives us one story to Illustrate the pains taken at
times to frustrate coda thefts:
"When Secretary of Embassy OWhaughnessy and
his party left Mexico City for Vara Cms In 1914, Cap
tain William A. Rurnslde. IT. 8. A., our military at
tache, fearing theft of his baggne. carried,' his copy
of the War department coda In his hands. His trunks
were broken Into and searched surreptitiously, and
while on the train the attache. In the presence f
American witnesses, burned his code, leaf by leaf,
Igniting It from cigarettes. Tha witnesses swore to
this, and on filing their affidavits at the War de
partment tha officer was relieved from all responsi
bility." In contrast to this story, however. Is one of a raro
Opportunity lost by foreign spies:
"Not long ago, a thousand copies of the War de
partment code, lying In a covered, but unfastened box
In the War department attic. In an open room, visited
dally by hundreds of curious tourists for a view across
the city, were accidentally discovered by a clerk.
Hound In gold and morocco, they would have been
rare souvenirs of Washington. Investigation proved
that they had lain there, forgotten, for eight years.
Not one was missing."
We are told that the Navy department code Is
weighted with lead, and every commander Is sup
posed to throw It overboard In tho event of capture.
But In aplto of this rule at least two copies have dis
appeared. Only one code appears to havo Tieen kept
wholly Inviolable that of tha bureau of insular af
fairs, and this one has never been printed: Wo read:
"Its compiler, an expert codlat tn the office of thi
chief of that bureau, personally typed It on thin sheets,
making four copies, which were then bound. One was
sent by special messenger to the governor general of
the Philippine Islands, another to the governor of
Porto Rico, a third was retained In the bureau, and the
fourth Is In the hands of a trusted government offi
cer, who, for confidential reasons, cannot be named.
No other copies exist, and the four made are guarded
with tho Utmost vigilance. It Is tho vehicle of secret
communication between the government affd our co
lonial possessions, and Is tha only government' coda
In whoea certain acrecy absolute confidence Is placed
Only tha most vltnlly Important messages coded tn It
are further protected by enciphering, and Its use ob
viates the delay Inevitable In enciphering and deciph
ering Important messages ooded tn the more widely
distributed departmental codes. It is the ono really
secret code of the United States." .
But a code .discovered does not necessarily mean
that all efforts at secrecy by the particular depart
ment affected are completely frustrated; for a message
already rodod can later be enciphered, wnereupon the
possession of a specimen code-book la of no avail to
the spy who waylays the message. Ha must have the
cipher key-word as well, and, as we learn, .these are
kept secret most effectually:
"These key words are never, put Into writing. High
officers leaving Washington for foreign stations re
ceive them orally, and commit them to memory. One
famous commanding general In the Philippines, at a
critical stage of our foreign relations several years
ago, forgot tho key-word, and a young oficer made
the long trip from Washington to Manila to repeat it
a common practice In the navy, and
It la not unusual for officers whose only mission is to
deliver orally a cipher-key word to be sent oa such
missions halfround tha world. The secrecy of our
government ciphers, as used In connection with th.
codes, la, for all practical purposes, absolute. It rests
in me nonor and nnellty of trusted and patriotic offi
cers and not one lota on any written book or paper."

would announce which of thresj popular streams

OMAHA, Sept. W.-To the ivlltor of
The Uee: What are the "Hilly" Sunly
meetings fort Are thejr to be monopo
lised by the old saintly church members
who are well on the wy to heaven?
Or are they Intended for the sinner
who la not In the habit of going to
church and who larks the salvation that
this evangelist Is so earnestly proclalm-
ng as the need of lost humanity, the
carelesa non-church goer, the saloon
keeper, the fallen In all walks of life?
It would seem the way this tabernacle
Is being filled up at each of these serv
ices with the ministers, the church offi
cials, the church-going people who claim
they are among the saved already, who
are going Just through curiosity to hear
the amusing things that "Billy" says,
etc., but which In results answer to help
crowd out the very class of people that
these meetings are Intended to get at.
The hundreds and possibly thousands
who do not hang around the tabernacle
two or three hours before the hour of
service, but come at the appointed time
to find the seats all taken, the aisles
all Jammed full of the curious church
people and are obliged to turn back
homo, will not try again. They are not
particularly Interested more than a little
through curiosity and these are largely
lost to the opportunity of "Billy's" Influence.
Sinners ere the people Sunday wants

Instead of occupying the front seats
merely to hear what there Is now In
the way of entertainment at tha
tabernacle.
Sunday la not getting the people he Is
after, because the sinners are not curi
ous enough to display the gall that the
old hide-bound saint or tha Idle church
goer has In securing a seat, even If
they have to sit half a day on a hard
plank for this privilege. Build the taber
nacle larger or sort out the sheep rrom
the goats and take them to some church
or to the auditorium and entertain

Sunday get at the people he came here
to talk to and convert. But if he Is obliged

Chloroform for Itay Keverltee.
OMAHA, Sept. 10. To the Editor of The
Bee: The kindest method by which to
deal with hay fever sufferers is to put
them out of their misery with chloroform.
I really mean this statement to be
taken literally notwithstanding that It
may seem to class me as well as some of
Omaha's most respected citizens with
stray canines, super-numeracy cats and
other excess baggage.
Although probably originated by . some
poor sufferer rendered desperate by the
pangs of his disease, whose Intent was to
secure peace st any price, the method
has the approval of physicians. The medi
cal man. however, advise that much
Judiciousness be mingled with the treatment.
It was discovered that to relieve hay
fever It Is not necessary to continue the
treatment until the patient Is gone beyond
recall. Soothing sleep and several hours
surcease of torture may be secured by
few momenta' Inhalation of a weak
solution of the kindly drug.
Hay fever sufferers who used to run the
risk of making drug fiends of themselves
by spraying their tortured membranes
with solutions of cocaine or other d
rlvatlves of the soporific poppy, are now
barred from that relief by federal statute.
unless a physician lends his aid. which Is
unlikely.
Chloroform Is best. A few cents' worth
of chloroform' liniment bought st any
drug store will do the business. Inhale
the fumes and forget your troubles for

tho gist of the international language
Esperanto:
1. An Inspiring accomplishment that
places you on "speaking terms" with the
wholej world.
1 It Is fifty times easier to learn than
a national language mere play verily
spontaneous.
S. One hundred and thirty-two Journals
and magaalnea are published In that lan
guage throughout the world.
1 Is it not tho actual fulfillment of
Zeph. 8:9 giving tho world "pure lan
guage." i. By using the International roots, there
are only a few new words to be learned.
t. After a few hour's study you may
write an intelligent letter test It your
self. 7. Esperanto gives a translation to the
world another tongue only reaches a few
millions.
8. Missionaries find It a bridge across
the mcdly ot Jargons, the neutrat lan
guage. . Only sixteen brief rules of grammar,
and twenty-eight letters, and each letter
has but one aound.
10. dperantlsts enjoy exchanging pic
