Hello. Syracuse! Here's wishing you luck.
At the rate the shooting proceeds In Europe,
longevity tables are booked for downward re
vision. In street parlance, It's a cinch now that the
"hunch" about the war bolng over In October
was a "bum" steer.
Accounts agree In aaturtng the country that
President Wilson Is steadily advancing toward
a state of preparedness.
"The flowers that bloom In the spring, tra
la," bare nothing to the good oyer the "boom
lets" that blossom In the autumn.
The literary charm ot Turkey as an atrocity
story teller reflects the potency of practical ex
perience In Armenia and elsewhere.
The lure of outdoor life these sunny Indian
summer dsys rattles the chains In vain and
tnocks the longings of the desk slave,
Ob, yes, business Is filing up so rapidly on
eastern railroads that managers are wondering
where storage facilities can be had for all the
Croney.
Nebraska will celebrate Its seml-centenntal
vt statehood only once, and few ot those here
now will be able to participate In Its statehood
centennial.. .
Twenty-four hours of continuous suffrage
oratory In New York City Is appropriately named
"a whirlwind finish." Still, "mere man" has
the last word.
Some day and somehow, perhaps, the aveng
ing spirit of Rio Grande cowboys will get within
range of Pancbo Villa, and no human agency will
prevent a funeral.
Nebraska never had but one United States
senator who did not want to be re-elected, and
saver bad but one United States senator who
succeeded In being re-elected.
The country is upon the eve of some Inter
esting off-year elections that should show which
ay the wind blows on suffrage, prohibition and
party popularity. Keep your ear to the ground.
"Why not train sons for the ministry T" Is a
Question discussed at the bishops' conference.
The lesi-than-two-dollajs-a-day average wage
which the ministers pall down Is probsbly the
answer.
French and German toys are coming in for
the Christmas trade, but not In sufficient quan
tity to go around. It is up to talent and enter
prise to put America first as a toy-maker and
Juy-tnaker.
It la an easy task for congress to approve In
advance a program of "adequate preparedness."
No direct labor Is Involved. When they come
to wrestle with the problem of ways and means,
requiring Imposition of new taxes to make ends
meet, then perspiration will flow under the
collar.

Social Service of the Church.
Touching firmly on one of the really weak
pots In the modern church, Bishop George
Allen Ceecher calls public attention to the
failure of orRunlfed relation In the matter of
eaclal service. Charity, coldly or perfunctorily
administered, Is not the limit of the duty of the
church towards those who are needy or who are
atrufTRltng against odds for the better things of
life. Tbst church Is Inert which merely looks
lifter the spiritual welfare- of Its members, with
no thought for their social wants, or its oppor
tunity for Riving to the community something
ot- an impetus along lines that lead finally to
batter ways of living through closer personal
a"-orlat ion. It Is not enough to relieve a man's
pruning noed for food and clothing, or to tell
1 itn how to avoid evil. lie must be given some
thing to satisfy the social longing, and If the
church does not provide it he will find It else
where. Most cf the surcess of the Salvation Army
rests on Its policy of "soup, soap, salvation," a
direct reversal of methods against which Cen
tred Dooth revolted, but which generally persist
in the older church organizations. Some have
followed the Salvation Army In Its practice of
first feeding, then cleansing, and finally saving
those to whom it ministers, and others must it
they are going to measure up to the standards
they have set for themselves. It Is not enough
to call a sinner's attention to means of escape
I'om perdition; he must have real assistance Iq
Lis stride against the natural propensity to
vrongdolng, and, for the matter of that, even
the best of us need this help in order that we
isy keep our feet on the right road.
The church that goes In strongest for social
service is the one tbst will make the most head
ray against the tendency of the times to drift
away from religion.
Community's Fight Against Diease Breeder!.
New Orleans stands unique before the world
becauae of the remarkable fight Its citizens have
lade against disease breeders. The city is
locsted in a spot of natural beauty, with sub
tropical surroundings that greatly add to the
comforts of existence there, but which also offer
the natural drawbacks Incident to the prevalence
of diseases peculiar to the region. For genera
tions the city was periodically scourged by, and
never free from, yellow fever and malaria. Its
people were finally aroused, and through the
application of scientific methods exterminatel
cr drove oft the disease-carrying mosquitoes,
and now Is as free from fevers as any city can
hope to be.
Then came a new menace, In the form of
bubonlo plague, which did gain a foothold, but
the citizens again arrayed themselves in battle
against this pest of humanity, and by making
the town rat-proof have done away with the
danger. Another achievement along this line
is also worthy of note, although it is not quite
so showy on parade as has been the conquest of
the mosqnito and the rat. Hay fevor was taken
Into full consideration, and by a vigorously
pushed campaign against the rag weed, now
known to be the chief cause of that distressing
aliment, the. 6, 000 victims of the disorder In the
Crescent City found relief from their affliction
several weeks earlier this season than ever
before.
Many cities have won a place In the history
of the world by withstanding sieges, or through
some other form of unusual effort, but none ot
them should have a brighter place than belongs
to New Orleans for Its combat against conditions
that threatened health. The spirit of deter
mined co-operation shown In these health cam
paigns Is a most encouraging example for com
munities more favored In the matter of salu
brity, and characterise New Orleans as a worthy
member In the great sisterhood ot American
cities.
Chance for Immortal Fame.
Several opportunities to achieve fame as
pearly Immortal 'as may be aaaured In advance
to anyone are waiting to be seised In Omaha. In
many ways this la a most progressive city, and
Its cltlsens take a proper pride In giving out
ward and visible evidence ot their prosperity and
their appreciaton of the estbetlo aa well as the
practical things of life. In other ways we are
laggards. In our publlo buildings we are show
ing convincing proof of artistic growth, and with
the multiplying examples of clasalo beauty about
is, we must feel an Inspiration to further ad
vance. Therefore, the opportunity for some
wealthy man to set an example that others might
follow. Hanscom park should long ago have had
a appropriate fountain Instead of two rusty
iron pipes to feed the little lakelet. In front of
the court house la vacant an Ideal spot for the
setting ot a magnificent bronze group. Several
ether similar suggestions are possible, but these
will do for a starter. Who will present the city
vlth the means for beautifying these two neg
lected spots? Don't crowd, gentlemen!
Venice in Danger.
These are troublous days and fearsome
nights for the people of Venice. Austrian
bombs have been dropped on a church near the
railroad station and another In front of the
famous ducal palace, hardly a hundred feet from
the reconstructed campanile and the wonderful
Church of San Marco, in the very heart of the
city. Pleasures and gayetles long since van
Irbed. Tourist travel, which constituted the
city's main resource, disappeared with the com
ing ot war, and pitiful poverty is all-pervading
Mght lights no longer shimmer on the water
highways, marine concerts are hushed, gondo-
l.ers are rarely seen and the residents Idly wan
der through a dark and silent city or alt among
the sand bag ramparts designed to protect the
movable treasures ot sculpture and archltee-
tjre.
Above all other cities menaced by enemy
airships or aeroplanes, Venice Is exposed to the
greatest risk. Its treasures of art, sculpture
aud architecture are incomparable and Its un
equalled situation Increases the hasard. . The
handiwork of master artisans for centuries past
rtst upon Insecure foundations, thus adding to
the risk of direct explosion the greater liability
to damage from concussion.
It is difficult to comprehend what end of the
var game Is served by aerial attacks on Venice.
Its serious damage or destruction would not
advance enemy armies one inch nearer their
toal. and would go down In history aa an ua
paralleled act ot barbarism.
The weather man and the Hallowe'en sprites
must have gotten together this time.

Roalyn, Long Island, N, T., November U, U74.
My Friends: I thank you for tha notice you har
taken or my birthday In sending m the photograph
of that noble building, In which you receive Instruc
tion, and which, I hav no doubt, you are Justly en
titled to call the finest common school building In the
United States. It Is really a stately edlftoe, and I
could wish nothing better for those who resort to It
than that the Instruction given there may be on the
same noble scale.
Again thanking you and the teacher who was
pleased to speak ao kindly of my poems, I remain.
youra faithfully, W. C. BRYANT.
Th name signed to this communication ase aug-
gestiv to those whose memories reach back Into th
earlier daya Th first one, Clara M. Campbell, has
been long sine discarded by Its owner for that of
Mra. Henry D. Kstabrook, who was her In Omaha
during th Inat weak with her distinguished husband
from New York, where they now reside. Stacla Crow-
lay, after her graduation, took up teaching, and taught
In tha selfsame high school, later transferring her
self to Chicago, whers.sha Is still aotlv as a teacher.
Charles R. Rdlok became a lawyer, whose career,
unfortunately waa cut short. Ha was a brother, of th
Redlok now here and prominent In the legal profes
sion. Frank W. Baldwin, I do not recall, nor know
of his later whereabouta It would be Interesting to
know what became of th letter whloh Bryant wrote,
and If It Is still preserved, to bave It come back to
th High school to be framed and hung on the wall
as a priceless souvenir.
That reminds ma. too, that Henry D. Batabrook
was onos city editor of Ths Be for a few brief days
In fact, h was tha local news-gathering force
taking advantage of an offer to substitute during th
regular city editor's vacation, and thus to try out his
oonfeaaed ambition to become a Journalist Ha has
told th story himself in his own tnlmltabl language,
ao much more graphically than any one els could
tell it, that I give It la his own words:
"Finally, there waa presented an opportunity of a
lifetime. Mr. ttoaewster's city editor, who waa also
hla only reporter for a newspaper man In that time
played many parts had been given a vacation, and
previous to his departure had visited ths high school
to engage on of th larger boys to assume his du
ties. I was tha lucky chap to be Invited, and I ac
cepted with alacrity. For two whole weeks I was
not only to write just what I pleased, but what I
wrote was bound to be published. Moreover, I was
to hav $30 per week Into th bargain.
"Ths first morning I was at Ths Be office bright
sad early, Mr. Rose water dropped Into my 1x4 sanc
tum to wish ma good morning and success in my ex
periment, and to Indicate my route. Incidentally he
remarked that a quartet of male voice had serenaded
htm the night before, and It might be well to say an
appreciative word about thalr singing. I did. I said
that four roysterers had made last night hideous with
their eaterwauls, and had selected th editor of this
paper for their especial and particular victim; that
men with such voices as theirs ought not to be per
mitted to run at Urge, eta. etc, Th fact Is I was a
songster myself, snd belonged to a rival quartet
When I arrived at th office next morning I met Mr.
Roe water going out to poat a letter. He gave me a
stony glare and hastened hla footsteps. I afterwards
learned that this letter waa addressed to th absent
reporter commanding his Immediate return. Mr.
Rosswater had scarcely made his exit when tha sec
ond basso called and stopped his paper stopped It
off short never to go again. He also said In hla most
raucous voloe, that he wanted to see th responsible
editor of that dirty sheet. I told him that the respon
sible editor had Just stepped out, but that he might
consider me th Irresponsible editor. If he were so
disposed. He laughed a hollow, mocking, blood
curdling sort of laugh and vanished.
"During th day th remaining members of th
quartet dropped In on after th other and canceled
their subscriptions. Th cheerful Idiot who edited a
colume In our loathsom contemporary' called th
'Publlo Fountain,' took up th cudgel on behalf of
th quartet, and through ths medium of his column
Intimated that th ad Interim reporter of Tha Be was
not yet dry behind th ear a I retorted that that waa
because I waa la th habit of washing my ears, and
thought it would be sanitary If ha would occasionally
follow tha example. 'Wash 'em In th Publlo Foun
tain.' I said, "along with your dirty linen. What an
appropriate freak of chanc It Is, any way, that such
a fountain shout b run by a squirt!'
"On receipt of ths chief letter Mr. Al Borenson,
tha reporter for whom I waa substituting, shortened
his leave of absence and hastened home, but not until
I had Urn to be thoroughly licked by a saloon keeper
named Taylor; not until Mr. Roaewater life had
bea several times threatened on my account, and not
until I had Involved Th Be In a tao.wo libel suit.
Than th editor came out la one of hla famous edi
torials, over hla awn sUrnatura, and explained to a
bewildered public Juat what had happened. He com
mented severely upon my Inaptitude tor a Journalistlo
career, and attributed hla recent sorrows to what he
called my trick-mule performance.' And yet I sevenr
when I hurled my reportorlal thunderbolts Indis
criminately at ths public It wss more for the fun of
manufacturing thunderbolts than for the purpose ef
Injuring those who happened to b la th way of
them. But that phrase, trW-mul performances.'

INDIAN SUMMEE TIME.
Springfield Republican.
The mountains slumber sweetly in tha
haze,
The twilight glow Is rosy like eld win.
And human life Is wont to stand and
gaxo
Upon a scene so chaste, and so divine.
We feel that Nature, weary from th toll
Of pouring fruit and grain In Plenty's
lap.
Is overcome, and silencing the moll
Has settled down to take a needed nap.
The leaves ars turning yellow, brown or
red.
And have begun to tumble to the
ground.
The violet and daisy both are dead.
And goldenrod is blooming all aroundf
The haws are turning black, and seem
to smile
Invitingly to urchins as they pass,
Ths nuts ar peeping forth with russet
wile.
And cheerful crickets chirping In the
grass.
The orchards are a-bend with Juicy
wealth.
The rider mills abusxlng with drunken,
bees.
The air a-tang with rugged human
health.
While somnolence Is tincturing the
breose;
The creeks are dancing to a sleepy rune.
The sinking birds departing for tho
Kcutlw
October clasping hands with smiling
June
Who holds a yellow rosebud in her
mouth.
And vet ther Is a sadness In the air,
The sjirlte of dissolution Is abroad.
Old Boreas has left his frozen lair.
And is advancing down the Arctlo
road:
W feel his breath upon ths autumn,
breeze.
And contemplate his coming with a
dread;
We know his cruel mission Is to freeze
And leave the lovely flowers black and
dead.
