The prospect of escaping more war taxes In

Mr. Bryan has to say In criticism of the Wilson
administration and less In praise of It.
The Bryan pole knocked the Lincoln post

therefore, that the senator will have undisputed

President Wilson sounds the keynote of Joy

"Why a detective force?" If that Question
Is pertinent to Omaha, it must be equally so In
every other city of any siie. But if the question
were asked in New York, Chicago or Kansas
City, folks would think the silly season were on.
British newspapers are handing out solemn
truths to their readers. The old Idoa that some
how the nation "will muddle through" Is hope
lessly shot up, and the newspapers render a good
service In bringing home that disagreeable fact.
St. Louis Is In the game for tbe two big na
tional president-nominating conventions. It Is
our guess that our democratic friends, who are
talking about entering Omaha, wilt find a much
more formidable rival in Bt. Loiils than In
Dallas.
Judicial strategy marks the latest move of
tbe government against the shoe machinery
trust. The government realises from ' recent
knockouts that midwest courts are freer from
the Influences of environment than the Judiciary
.f the Atlantic coast.

Putting Fresiare on Greece.
If the Quadruple Entente carries out an
nounced Intentions, Greece Is to be forced to de
risre for one or the other sides In the wsr with
out unnecessary delay. It is in a measure vi
tally Important to the Allies that such a declara
tion ba ruado. The progress of the war has
tirned another side of European diplomacy to
view, and the world Is now getting an oppor
tunity to examine some of the things that were
closely hidden a few months ago. The Russian
foreign minister says "the Allies are Justified In
the adoption of any measures to prevent their
enemies from tsklng advantage of the neutral
position of a third power." That Is Just about
Mhat Germany did when It opened fire on th
Polglsns at Liege, which action Is assigned as
the cause for England's entering the war. The
neutrality of Greece has already been outraged
by the landing of troops at Ralonlkl, and It
seems very certain this policy will continue.
' Scraps of paper" have little weight In Europe
Just now, when not supported by mighty force.
If Greece Is driven Into the war it will be small
credit to the diplomacy that haa pretended to
support order and enlightenment.
Detectives.
The eyes of the community have been fo
cvsed by recent happenings In Omaha upon the
police department, and particularly upon the
detective service, which some of the critics sug
gest should be altogether abolished. Now there
are detectives and detectives, smart detectives
and lunk-head detectives, efficient detectives
and loafers on tha job, Just as there doubtless
are the same several kinds in other branches of
the department. For a police force, however,
the detectives correspond with the scouts and
secret agents for the army, and no one would
propose to do away with the reconnolssance and
Investigation corps in a military campaign. If
there Is a city anywhere in the world that main
tains a police force without detectives, we have
never heard of it. ' Omaha's bunch ot detectives
may be excessive in number we are Inclined to
think it Is and it, may need regeneration. It
Is not abolition of the detective force, though,
that we want, but detectives with some "pep"
In them, detectives who are not required to
waste all their time on trivialities, and who can
show results In the bigger and more serious
things that make up the criminal calendar.
rindfn Job for "Met."
When our old friend Richard L. Metcalfe
was made civil governor of the Panama Canal
Zone, we all thought he had landed In his niche
and wished blm well, but unfortunately the
berth was not long lasting. Now comes the Lin
coln Star proposing to solve the problem by
finding "Met" a Job as ambassador to Mexico,
which he certainly could fill at least as well
as some others who have held down that assign
ment. The only possible objection that might
bo urged Is that "Met" has been In the service
cf Carranza for hire and la a way instrumental
In securing his recognition by our government,
vhich, therefore, Is no objection at all, since It
only goes to prove that he earned his money.
Republics are proverbially ungrateful, which be
sotting sin sometimes also attaches to tha
democracy. But If "Met", has something more
coming to him 'we hope he gets it, for we know
ha could carry the title "ambassador" Just ai
gracefully as that of "governor."
Just ai a Matter of History.
Rev. William Ashley Sunday, D. D., says
when Jesus began his ministry, Rome ruled the
world; Editor George Horace Lorlmer points
out that at that time Rome had a standing army
of but 300,000. and 'with that force held in I
check the populous old empires on the east, and
the burbarous hordes on the west. Now, thirty
millions of men are under arms throughout the
world, and most of them are actively fighting in
the trenches. What effect has religion had on
the destiny of man, If this spectacle Is to be
taken as a test? No pagan world ever viewed
the sights that Christianity ga.es upon today,
Man Is still far below the angela in his na
ture, and always la in need ot the support ot
moral teachings and precepts. Philanthropists
have labored In all ages to inculcate the lessons
that tend to the establishment of peace and har
mony in the world, the brotherhood of man and
the fatherhood of God, and yet the hope of
peace is hope deterred. The condition ot war
Is uot a true teat for the efficacy of religion of
ny sort, but the spectacle of Christian nations
in battle array Is not an especially strong argu
ment by which to aupport the claims of the
creeds.
It la not a religious war, for all shades ot
religion are seen in the ranks of the rigbters,
and no religion at all, but tha fact that tbe war
Is going on proves there Is a flaw in the scheme
somewhere.
Of No Particular Interest.
A student at a California university laya
claim to the distinction, It such there be, of
having established a record for the voluntary
suspension of respiration. Just what honor
should attach to this feat Is not easily de
termined, but perhaps it should be accorded
Mm as a pioneer In a little traveled field of.

opsned up a vista down which may be faintly
perceived something of an expansion of the col
lege athletic program of the future. A contest
In suspended respiration may he added to the
regular card of athletic events. Professors will
rrobably testify that the suspension of cerebra
tlon la more commonly practiced, with quite as
useful results. However this may be, not a
great deal ot attention will be paid to the teat.
tut If the young man had made a record at
holding his tongue, Instead of his breath, he
might have given the world a useful example.
With all that wonderful Bhowlng ot profit
from the operation of the municipal water
plant, the uneecspable logic la that too much
money is being taken out of the pockets of tha
people, either In needless tax levies or in ex
ctslve water rates. Water-users would ap
I reclate a real reduction in their bills much
more than an Increase la an ornamental surplus.
Making the "Movies"
Literary Digest.
THE whole universe, or aa much of It aa he can
reach, la enlisted by tha latter-day "movie-' di
rector as his ally, for no part of the world Is
free from hla Invasion If he acta out to find the neces
sary and proper background for hla 'story. When a
town does not edt ha builds It for hlmaelf, aa wa
see by the description of lucevllle. In California, writ
ten by Henry MacMahon for the New York Benlng
l'net Five or all years ago, as he reminds us, pic.
ture-maklng was done with tha aid of a few score ot
costumea, aa many properties, a couple of Interior
seta, and a few hundred dollars' worth of equipment
to be set up In prepared locations. "Now, however,
the producer feels the necessity of putting forth a
product aa accurate, artistic, and atmospherlo as any
thing presented by literature or drama." The curl
oslty of the public can be enlisted by estraordlnary
efforts; but the producer muat be on his guard against
anachronisms, since the public's sense of historical
values has grown with his avidity for the remote, the
foreign, the blsarre, and the curious.
Inccvlllo haa everything," declares Mr. MacMahon;
"Palaces and cottages; an enormous transportation de
partment; a farm, a navy, a wild west ranch, a com
missary, an electric plant and sea-water pumping
station, Ecole des rtoatia Arts for otl and water-color,
a dressmaking establishment, a department of mili
tary engineering, sappers, miners and pioneers for
the battle plecea; a library and a museum, aids of the
official historians and antiquarians; a carpentry and
cabinet shop for the targe Indoor construction these
are Just a few of the establishments I noticed In a
rapid survey of the ground.
"This village lies In a canon that debouches down
to tha Parlflo ocean about four miles north of Banta
Monica. It has no connection with tha outside world
except a very bad and dusty coast road over which
automobiles and horse vehicles travel all day long.
There Is a saying you can get anything you want at
Inceville, for Its activities are as complete aa tha mod
ern city, despite the fact that It possesses only a few
hundred Inhabitants. The overhead expense of run
ning Incevlllo Is about tha same as that of running
a great dally newspaper. A dosen productions axe
under way at once.
"While I was walking on the beach In front of the
canon, I noticed several pirate ktnga stealing one of
Mr. Tom Ince's beautiful heroines who had unwisely
gone to take a dip In tha surf. They loaded her Into a
life boat, and half-a-dosen- pairs of arms shoved It Into
the Taclflo while the rattle of musketry played around
from the horo up on the cliff who was trying to stop
thera without killing hla unfortunate bride. Going to
the hilltop, I saw great cavalcades of cowboy headed
by the redoubtable W. S. Hart, whom soma folk will
remember aa the erstwhile hero of 'Ben Hur' of the
legitimate stage, and then as Cash Hawkins In 'Tha
Squaw Man.'
"Out over the crest ot the ridge was Blllie Burke
riding a pony straight-saddle and acoompanled by
Thomas II. Ince, William H. Thompson, and others
on their way to a mountain cabin supposed to ba
placed In the highlands of Scotland. In another part
of the grounds was Katheiine Kaelred busily 'vamper
Ing House Peters, who was slipping from the grasp
of Clara Williams. In his studio-enclosures proper,
actors were making up for expeditions In 'India,'
China the 'European War-Front,' and tha Days ot
Chivalry.' "
Only Self-Discipine

OT enough attention has been given to tha ex
tension of military training not as a war meas
ure but as a domestic reform.
With an adequate navy wa do not greatly have
to fear what any other nation can do to us. But,
navy or no navy, we do have to fear what wa can
do to ourselves.
The World certainly yields to none In its aupport
of the personal liberty of our cltlaens. But we believe
that, to te a blessing, personal liberty must go nan
In hand with personal discipline; that when.lt fails
to do this It Immediately tends to degenerate Into
Irresponsible license. '; " ' - '
Tha chief test of Individual freedom Is Its capacity
for voluntary self-subordination. It Is the display
of that capacity which makea republican France so
glorious today. It is the absence ot that capacity
which makes men shake their heads over England's
future.
But surely no clear-sighted American can delude
himself into imagining that self -discipline Is an Ameri
can virtue ot today.
Spoiled by misguided parents, undisciplined by Im
potent school teachers, our 'tendency Is to grow up
Into self-wlllod men and self-indulgent women. Man
handled by poverty or mollycoddled by wealth, tha
tendency Is everywhere tha same; Intolerance ot au
thority, contempt for obedience, aversion to laws, la-
difference to rules, and worship of self.
We remain aeated to the mualc of our national
anthem, remain covered at tha paaslng of our na
tional flag.
We are unquestionably still patriots, but we are
becoming slightly paunchy patriots who need a course
of stiff training to tone up our systems.
We wish that the 4O0.O0Q continentals that Secretary
Garrison's plan contemplates could be 4,000,000. Four
million men from dudes to dock hands, reabsorbed
Into our dally life, who had learned that prompt bodily
and mental obedience to orders docs not constitute
humiliation and that self-dlaclpllne Is compatible with
self-respect, would ba a splendid army for use not
primarily against fore'gn forces, but against American
weaknesses.
Twice Told Tales
President Wilson has nothing on Ms former
secretary ot state In a test of relative Influence
for suffrage. Colonel Bryan made speeches for
the women ta Nebraska and the amendment waa
beaten by tea thousand. The president Came out
lor suffrage In his home state of New Jersey
and the proposition was beateu by nearly sixty
thousand.
No Laager Reaaoaalsle.
The dangers of travel by sea at this time have
played havoc with the nerves of timid passengers.
Early one morning recently there waa considerable
commotion on the decks ot a coastwise vessel plying
between Savannah and Baltimore, when a scantUy
clad man hurried from hla state room and dashed to
ward tha upper deck. On the way he ran Into the
captain ot the vessel.
"What's the matter, captain T' he managed to
gasp, "Have we been torpedoed?"
"Calm yourself, my dear sir. and be prepared for
the worst," answered the official.
"Oh, don't tell me we're going down!" moaned the
other. "Quick, where are tha Ufa preservers T"
"They wouldn't be ot any service at this stage?"
explained the captain.
"Too late?" quavered the despairing passenger.
"Tea." said the captain, very solemnly. "We've
done all we can for you. You'll have to look out
tor yourself from now on. You see, we've Just tlel

One Sunday nltfht the good pareon ot the aforesaid

eloquently discoursed an absent-minded member of
the congregation began to toy with a nickel-plated
match safe. Finally the matches caught fire and the
the same was neceeaarlly dropped to tha floor and
covered wtth a large foot.
"It la wonderful, Mary," whispered an elderly
woman to a friend in the seat ahead of the match-

OMAKA. Oct. 21-To the Editor ot The
Bee: After an absence from the city of
almost a4x years I now return to Omaha
(my home) and find the olty looking
larger, snappier and more metropolitan
In the downtown section than many
cities twice Ita slxe In the east. There le
an air of prosperity about the city and
the people I meet. But anywhere within
ten minutes tide from tha postofflce I
can easily forget that I am In a metro
politan city of the first class. In fact it la
hard to Imagine that 1 am In a city at
all. It appears more like the outskirts of
a small country town than the very
heart ot a big city. The lighting system
In Omaha Is so grossly Inadequate that
a comparison with ether cltlee of Ita class
and smaller - la foolish. The lurking
shadows are enough to scare a man of
the strongest heart and Iron nerve. To
permit such a condition to exist Is with
out reason or logic Tha lighting system
In this city has not been Improved to
keep pace with tha growth of Omaha.
Is it any wonder that men of vicious
character come to Omaha to perpetrate
their atrocities? The dark poorly lighted
streets and sidewalks and boulevards af
fords them every opportunity to hide their
features successfully and thus escapa
Identification. Holdups and similar crimes
are committed In other cities as well,
but the perpetrators are more easily and
definitely Identified when captured. The
dark streets must be a continual invi
tation to the holdup man to attempt his
viclousnese.
Well, what's to be done when such a
condition exists. The plan the city
fathers hit upon Is this: To create the
position of "city forester" and pray what
would his duties be? To trim the trees In
his back yard? In Washington, D. C, the
streets are lined with trees, there are no
dark places as In Omaha, The city Is pro
perly and adequately lighted. There la no
necessity for a city forester. What we
want Is more lights and street lamps. Tako
the money that a city forester would get
annually; add to that the cost of his
equipment, assistants, and materials, etc.,
and Install more lights with that money.
Don't blame the police department for
not apprehending the criminals who per
petrate holdupa and smaller crimes. How
can you expect tha police to do anything
If they haven't even a reasonably definite
description of the criminal?

OMAHA, Oct a. To the Editor of The

others who are worried about the stand
ing of Max Desettel In the Omaha labor
movement, I wish to state that the "card
men" are uneasy simply because Max
Desettel Is doing things for the Omaha
labor movement. The real union men of
Omaha are for Max Dexettel and the
Omaha Unionist. Omaha will soon be a

of certain "card men." Aa for myself,
I am glad that a union man like Max

When this stata was first onened tin
for settlement those moneyed men got
it Into their heads that this state would
never be broken up except along the
Platta river, and they might as well have
the capital located m Lancaster county,
and hold It there. But now tha state la
broken up from east to west and Is get
ting pretty well settled. In my travels
from Omaha to Cheyenne. In viewing the
different counties along the Platte river.
there are three in for the location of
the capital. If It should come to a vote
for capital removal, I would aay to the
people along the Union Pacific to locate
It on tha heights of Buffalo county,
where all the people can view It aa they
pass from east to west. The rising young
generation will get a chance to view
the capltol If they should travel through
the state. This la the second nearest
the center of the state. Broken Bow
is about the center of tha state and
Buffalo county will come next to It.

Oh! Permot A store! between waking auc

I heard thy dear voice, and I weep to its
lay;
Every pulse of fny heart, the sweet

'Till Klllarney's wild echoes had born
It away.
Oh! tell me. my own love, la this our
last meeting,
Shall we wander no more In Klllarney's
green bow'rs.
To watch the bright sun, o'er the dim
hills retreating.
And the wild stag at rest In his bed
of spring flowers?
Oh! Dermot Astore, between waking and

Oh! Dermot Astore! how this fond heart
would flutter
When I met thee by night In th shady

And heard thine own voice In a soft
whisper utter ,
Those words of endearment "Ma

I know we must part but O! say not for

But I'll cling to the hope that though
