New Jersey's early fall boom for President Wilson quickly subsldod when the White House whispered: "Tut, tut." That federal Judgeship patronage plum con tinues to hang high, so everybody is still priv ileged to guess the winner. In the light of the upheaval It Is clear that Messenger Archibald's package contained highly explosive '"scraps of paper," Dr. Dumbs, may console himself with the knowledge that many shrewd and brainy men have been trimmed in the American shell game. The draft of New York's new state constitu tion has been completed and will be voted up or down this fall. The brickbats will now fly! But, governor, having publicly preferred such serious charges against the state treasurer, it is op to you to do something more than that. taSJBBBwMSBBSKBSBeBSBBBlBBBBBSBBBBHBsai "Billy's" first week's score Is well up to the batting average, but he cannot begin counting runs until the trall-hltters get to sliding across home base. Carranxa wants it distinctly understood that unless the game is played his way be will not play at all. Brother Carranza is about as shifty a diplomat as any of them. Revolutions in Haiti are not as frivolous as critics assert It Is no easy task for a native of the tropic isle to keep cool while vocalising President Dartlgenave's name. There will be great doing in Washington when a state of prepardness, a civil service pen sion and a treasury deficit gives congress the hailing sign on the capltol steps. It is barely possible the country misjudges the motives of the Mexican raiders. The lure of the lucre of democratic pay stations in Texas may be too great for hungry Mexicans to resist. Opportunity never has a chance to turn from the door where enterprise Uvea. Snappers are ever awake for snaps. The quick turnover of an investor's cash for half interest in a rail road shows not only an abundance of money for all needs, but more than some people can take care of. One Week of "Billy" Sunday. Omaha has Just finished the first seven days of Its visitation from the great evangelist, whose works have resounded through the length and breadth of the land for many months. Ills com ing here was anticipated with a decided mixture of emotions, rsnglng from the limit of exaltation to tbe most casual of indifference, the general expectancy being tinctured strongly with a par donable curious desire to see the man who had so stirred the communities in which be has min istered. The experience has been mutually sur prising, and mutually agreeable. Omaha bas found that Mr. Sunday has "not come to de stroy," and Sunday has fonnd that Omaha is not especially in need of destruction. This should be of encouragement to both, and doubtless will be so accepted. The on great Impression the evangelist bas so far made Is that of his sin cerity and earnestness. It Is too early to put any estimate on the result of his work in this city, but his power to draw Is shown by the crowds that fill the tabernacle. This at least proves that the public is alive to Its opportunity for hearing what message Mr. Sunday, brings. No Argument for Immigration Restriction. Out of the World's Work, from whose edi torial chair Ambassador Page was promoted to tbe court of St. James, we quote the following txcerpt: It la. of course, true that tha Germaa-Amarlcea who set Oermany above tha United Slate are ison vsctferou than tha clttaena of Uertnaa extraction who are true to their eltlsenahtp. But even taking that into consideration, it seems that a stricter set of Immigration laa might give us a chanoa to become a more homogeneous whole than we ara at present. How any one can arrlv at the conclusion tlist the German propaganda, or the division ot sympathy for opposing belligerents among our citizens of foreign extraction, is due to lax Im migration laws is inexpllcale. Our foreign born citizen, or hyphenated Americana, as they have been called, who have been taking sides ac tively In the discussion of tbe war Issues and c'aims, are for the most part the most Intelli gent and best informed of their people. We Lave never yet seen any plan for stricter im migration that would ahut out the best types ot our immigrants, and surely none of tbem have shut out any appreciable number of Germane, because the Germans who have come to'thls country could easily stand any kind of a test No, there Is no argument for the Immigration restrictlonists In the present situationquite tbe contrary, we want to Invite and encourage tb coming after the war of all the ambitious, able-bodied, liberty-loving, law-abiding men and T.omen of Europe eager to escape militarism, vbo are willing to help us develop our great natural resources. The School Home as a Polling Place. The United States Bureau of Education has Issued In pamphlet form a paper prepared by E. J. Ward of the University of Wisconsin de tailing the advantages of using public school houses as polling places. Thirty Wisconsin cities and towns have already adopted the plan, and others will follow at the first opportunity. Mr. Ward points out several practical benefits observed in communities where citizens exercised sovereign rights In school houses. Tbe location and surroundings dignify the responsibility of citizenship and Imparts a perceptible educational force to the duty of voting. Permanency of location is an Important substitute for frequent shifting of polling places. In small communi ties it Is especially desirable for these reasons and as a means of making tbe school house a center of clvlo lite and activities. Every means calculated to lend dignity to a polling place and responsibility to the act of voting are to be wel comed. There is great, and urgent need of im provement In the surroundings of the ballot box, and school houses are the best available means to that end. With the steadily Increasing cost of government, national, state and munici pal, it Is manifestly in the public Interest to utilize to the full all publlo buildings for public needs. Carranza Declines. What Nextf VenuBtlano Carranza has met the expecta tions of close observers of Mexican affairs by declining to participate in any conference look ing to the establishment of a stable government for Mexico. This action has been apparent from the first, as the attitude of Carranza has at no time boen such as to convince outsiders that he is sincerely desirous of the success of any cause but his own. His reply to the Ail American note, suggesting the co-operation of Mexican leaders In the pacification of the coun try, is courteous enough, but under its well turned phrases is found the contempt the "first chief and all his kind have shown for the opinion of tha world, and the utmost of disre gard for the future of his country. His resonant assertions as to his authority and dominion over the country and its a fairs, the restoration of activity by the people la peace ful pursuits, and what bis government proposes to do, are empty air. From other and reliable sources come the stories of disorder and rapine that have filled the tale of Mexican troubles for more than five years. The starving people of the country are being fed by the American Red Cross, and the outlook Is desperately discour aging. Until Carranza can be brought to assist in some plan, pacification of Mexico from within seems Impossible. If he should succeed in his designs, a military dictatorship is again assured. The question Is still before the world, and the next move Is up to the All-American conference. What will It bet Three Perfect Babiei. Just as If there ever was a baby born into this world of sin that waa not perfect, the med icos have begun to calibrate, weigh, test and sound the offspring of the people, and lo! Ne braska comes to the front again with a trio of babies, who In all respects meet the require ments ot science, and are labeled "perfect." And there's no telling how many more of the same kind may be found in the stste, whose mothers are too fondly proud ot them to place them in public competition. Emphasis Is laid on the fact that these "perfect" babies are "town-bred." Why this should create surprise Is not easy to understand. Nebraskans are good wherever you find them, and there Is no sharp line of demarcation here between' town and country. "Rus In Urbee" might well be blazoned on the gonfalon of the state, so closely do the two mingle In Nebraska. We have the com forts and conveniences of the city, with the free dom and simplicity of the country, and our life Is full ot the complete and limitless enjoyment ot the unrestricted advantages of both. Ne braskans do all things well, and most things better, and now that we have turned our atten tion to the scientific tabulation of the kiddles. we rina w have attained perfection if i. left to Nebraska alone, the future of the rac is secure. Vindication of the Corset The United States Health Service officially labels the corset as a useful and beneficial ad junct to woman's wearables. Heretofore the medical profession baa shown great caution In diagnosing the corset, particularly the elders whose ripe Judgement springs from exhaustive observation. It la not known whether approval came from that quarter. What Is reasonably certain is that the courage, verve and all-em bracing dash of young doctors proved the corset, rightly placed, to be not only good form, but quickly responsive to right treatment. An official certificate confirms the latter diagnosis. Opposition to conscription continue so strong In Great Britain that the government expects to reach the destination by a less dan gerous route. It is proposed to put in force a quota system, each locality being required to furnish a given number of recruits, according to population. Sugaring the pill usually bides tbe bitter taste ur TXOTOs mosnrwATBm. WHEN I went through the beautiful new rreahy. tertan Medical hoapiul at It grand opening the other evening. I reminded Mr. McClelland, who waa receiving tha visitor, that The Bee had contributed a very material chapter to the history ot that Institution. Oh, yea. I remember very well." aald he, "that Woman's May day edition which proved the saving clause for the hospital at that particular turning point." Just out of curiosity I later looked up the Woman's May day edition of The Bee. which I In our fllea un der date of May 1. and, tested even by the standards of today. It may well be pronounced "a moat creditable performance." as The Bee the next morn ing characterised It. Raising money for hospitals and rharitlea twenty yeara ago In the midst of the finan cial depression and crop-failure years was no little task, and when taking charge of The Bea for a special Issue with a right to a whole day s proceeds, netted well over tJ.00, It was a real achievement I recall how enthusiastically the women went at the Job. They organlted a staff of volunteer, with reportere and editor galore, the high commissioned officer being a follows: General manager, Mrr. Oeorge Tllden; assistant general manager, Mrs. F. B. Tracy; city editor, MUs Mary Falrbrother; telegraph editor. Mrs. M. F. Adler; sporting editor, Mrs. Will Townaend; advertising manager, Mra. Robert Hunter; circulation manager, Mra. C. H. Townaend; treasurer, Mrs. P. H. Allen. Tha editorials would hve gladdened Mr. Bryan's heart, fer they were all signed by the writers, and this disclaimer waa kindly Inserted to keep the responsible editor of the paper on other daya out of trouble: 'The editor of The Bee la not responsible for the vartoua oplnlona expressed on tha editorial page. He will see them for tha first time In print We trust he will be merciful." The women also compassionately Interviewed the men whoee placea and prerogative they had usurped for the day, eliciting the following, among other re ponsea, to tha question how they felt about It: "Sandy" UrUwold "I am going fishing out to Clear Lake." "Tom" FlUmorrl "Shall we leave our plpea and tobacco?" James B. Hayne "Take this book and read !t over carefully." (Handing over a copy of the laws of libel and alander.) Lester Bodlne "Please do not tell the young lad who has my assignment whether or not I am mar ried." IMgar C. flnyder "Have you told all of the re porters that any mention of Trilby or 'Svengall' I prohibited In the Bee building?" T. W. McCullouglv "I am speechless." J. Oales Bond "I could learn to love the girl who mad that coffee." Another still mora Interesting confidence I the confession of the women reporter a to how they got the new: "One man offered us a dollar If we made It to ult him." "The railroad man gave u all aome gum." "Tha weather service man satd the girl must climb to the top of tha flagstaff for the report on the weather." "W rode In the patrol wagon, and when they drove so fast we could not keep our seat, we held on to the men." "We went oa a good many wild chases, but gen erally people were polite." There are some other back-of-the-acene Incidents, but I will not at least not now. If anyone doubts that the war ts tha all-absorbing topto tha one universal ub)ect of discussion let him compare the contents ot the various monthly mngtt slne coming from the press now and a year ago. I read, or at least glanc over, most of them, and havo been telling that Harper's magaslne alone, of all the literary periodical, had succeeded In keeping aloof from the gruesome current without any war flavor, but here ts the last number of Harper's with a story In It set In a war background. Nothing I more sig nificant than UU complete revolution Id our current reading. I wonder If folks noticed something that happened last week that was indeed new departure The Bee and the World-Herald got out an Identical special tat fair section, the only change being in the head ing. The contents were co-operatively prepared, and the advertisement Jointly solicited. This was the first tlm that I know of that the two paper ever worked together In this fashion, and the very fact that the enterprise waa accorded such generous aup. port by the business Interests of Lincoln Indicate to my mind that the two cities ara also closer together than they ever were. And may I be pardoned if 1 likewise expreas the opinion that the magnificent auo ceas of the fair, financially as well a In other ru specta, la at least In part the result of tha get-together ptrlt that lets Omaha newspapers unite in boosting a Lincoln project, and the people of t he two cities pool their patronage Instead of constantly pulling apart. Twice Told Tales Heats Hara to Get. The pastor of a certain church was of tha opinion that old John, tha sexton, was neglecting certain duties. John.

Springfield Republican: It is reported that certain Unitarians desire to ban the hymn, "The Son of Ood Ooe Forth to Wr," on the ground that Its entlment la too bellicose. It seem as though any one who reads beyond the first line must find that the sturdy old hymn is of a thoroughly Christian character. In spite of Its martial Imagery. Militancy In th church Is not militarism. New Tork Times: Some folks think a clergyman has an easy time." AH he has to do ts preach a aermon or two sermons a week. If there Is anybody who has to do a great variety of work, much of it thankless, and some of It exhausting to to the nerves. It is he. How would you like to go and tell Mr. 8o-and-So that her husband has Just been killed? That Is one of the duties of a country clergy man. If anything Is to be done for the community, If any tank, hard and dis agreeable, can be delegated by the Indi vidual, the minister with the "easy time" la apt to get the Job. MUSINGS OF A CTKIC.
