After all those big floods of not so long ago,

quickly. t
Republican gains In the off-year elections
will make competition for next year's nomina
tions all the keener.

Our amiable democratic contemporary says
that the republican campaign Is coming along
In a fashion 'perfectly satisfactory to demo
crats." Well, our democratic friends are easily
pleased now, but they will not be so satisfied
later. ' ' . .
At last our democratic United States sena
tor from Nebraska has. publicly announced that
be will be a candidate for re-election. Some
bow and somewhere and some time we seem to
have gotten a suspicion thai the expected would
happen. ;
Yes, but would tbe majority against prohibi
tion In Ohio have been bigger or smaller if Col
Bryan had kept out? ' ' We Invite a . de

Significance of the Off-Year Elections.
The salient feature of the off-year elections
Just held ilea In thp evidence they afford that
the people are voting upon their sober second
thought, rather than upon impulsive enthusiasm
of the moment. The tendency of the political
pendulum to swing bark from the radicalism
reached in the preceding rl of the so-called bull
noose party. Is confirmed and accentuated.
hat, for examp'e, at one time looked like a
tidal wave for woman suffrage, has met a severe
check by decisive defeats in the biggest states of
the union. The best that can he claimed by
the suffrage champions Is thst they made a good
fight and marked progress, yet they admit that
the achievement of the goal Is still beyond reach.
The rejection of the prohibition amendment In
Ohio, notwithstanding the energetic campaign
made for It, and the failure of the proposition for
municipal ownership of street railways in De
troit, likewise reflect a popular reluctance to
try experiments at thla particular time when
world conditions are so upset.
From the party standpoint the general re
sults arc decidedly encouraging to republican
hopes. The redemption of Massachusetts by
KcCall, the republican candidate for governor, In
the face of the urgent appeals of the democrats
for a vote of confidence in President Wilson,
shows New England romlns; back' to the fold.
Thla gain more than offsets the loss of a govern
orship In Maryland, because . Maryland Is nor
mally democratic, and the present republican ad
ministration there is due to dissension in the
opposition. The gain of a member of congress
lu New York state, coupled with the retention of
two more districts, testifies to a desire to re
instate republicans In control of national affairs.
The democrats will, of course, try to find some
grain of comfort here and there, bat every In
terpretation of the elections as a whole must be
favorable to the republicans.
Omaha's New Civio Ceniui
The people of Omaha are to be congratulated
cn tbe character of the men who have been
chosen by the mayor and council to constitute
the new city planning commission, because
every one of them are men of standing in the
community and thoroughly Identified with the
present and future growth of the city.' While
but one or two of them have special training or
experience along lines of city planning, the
others are successful business men, known for
their keen foresight and good Judgment and, we
believe, without personal axes to grind or hob
bles to ride In tbe matter In hand. They are,
therefore, all exceptionally equipped to discharge
the duties devolved upon them. We take it
that the new planning commission will get down
to business without needless delay, and that we
will have tangible results Indue time.
What Is true of tbe city planning commission
s, in subatantlally the same' degree, true of tbe
rubllc welfare board, which is made up largely
t'f men who have already been active on the
Rcclal Service board, or In various fields of
social work. The welfare board will also have
plenty of Intricate problems to deal with, calling
for, earnest and sympathetic consideration and
.sound Judgment baaed upon broad vision.
As a. safety first precaution careful censor
ship of church news is a vital need. It is d Ir
on certlng, it not embarrassing, to have a force
ful appeal for ministerial recruits encounter the
Psptlst official wage average of 1.87 a day
without the formalities of an introduction.
Having settled tbe rental schedule for the
use of the Auditorium, the city commissioners
should go one step farther and provide against
ny one engaging the Auditorium and waiving
tbe date to some one else for a bonus. That
tort of hold-up should be nipped In the bud be
fore it begins.

TalkLnp; of Peace Texmi.
- .Every few days thehews reports contain'
f anagraphs indicating that one or 4he Other of
the belligerents In Europe is willing to consider
peace terms,, and some of these reports even go
s t far as to outline the probable conditions to
be entertained. Talk of peace in the immediate
future, of course Is Idle. There is so much at
slake and neither party to the struggle has ap
parently neared the point of exhaustion which
compels .making terms, that these reports, are
no more harbingers of peace than tbt first robin
is of spring. Like the first robin, however, they
are Indicative' of ' an ultimate consummation,
"hey are the straws thrown out to feel the pulse
of opponents, In the realization that tbe war
aust reach a stage when the groundwork for
the ultimate solution roust be laid. How far In
the future this conclusion may be, undoubtedly
the contending nations do not themselves have
an intelligent idee, but that they are beginning
to think about the inevitable settlement is some
thing of an advance.
Investigating: Oil.
- The Federal Trade commission, it Is an
nounced. Is to undertake an Investigation of min
eral oil production, refining and distribution,
tut whether this will result in anything more
practical than numerous other inquiries growing
out of the Investigating habit Is problematical.
The greater portion of .the federal, state and
municipal investigations, instead of settling
mooted questions, simply open up a little wider
field for controversies, and this is particularly
true of the oil Industry, which has been repeat'
,edly Investigated. Abuses, it Is true, have been
uncovered, but the very fact of the complaints
which bring about this Investigation shows that
the remedy has either not been, discovered or
rot applied. The differences between the crude
producers, the Independent refiners and the
Standard among themselves and between them
and the consuming publlo are many and com
plex, and If tbe commission seeks to search them
all out and find a remedy It has a Job which is
likely to keep Its membership busy for a consid
erable time. One ot the charges in this instsnce
is the old one of unfair competition. It being al
leged that the Standard sells gasoline for 10
cents a gallon In Missouri, 17 rents in Arkansas
and corresponding figures in Nebraska, and for
to cents la New York, while the difference In
transportation cost to the latter place is only 1
cent per gallon. This section has no objection
to the commission stopping the unfair discrim
ination, if it exists, but Is not anxious to have it
stopped by raising tbe price here to the New
York level.
' Headaches aa Expensive Luxury.
If you must do things that produce headacheg
put the kettle on the stove and get out the hot
towel bandage, for the drugs you have formerly
relied on to assuage tbe pain may become too
expensive for any but the rich and prodigal.
Ihe drug quotations show that the ingerdients
ft this class of goods have tripled and in some
instances quadrupled In price during the
p4st year, with the hint that unless conditions
change they may be unobtainable at any price
hrltbln a comparatively short time. It is the
same old story, "ruade-ia-Germany" and im
ports shut oft. So If you must have headaches
prepare to grin and bear it. or go back to primi
tive methods or tap your bank account that is
unless some "msde-ln-Amerlca" substitute is
forthcoming to meet the demand.
"Billy's" Big Windup
Beatrice Sun: Though people may disagree with
"Billy" Sunday and criticise his methods, It will bo
generally admitted that he has done a lot of good for
Omaha. Tha pay he received, about 130.000. looks Ilka
a lot of money for a preacher, but Omaha has no
doubt often paid that much and got less for the ex
penditure. Plnttsmouth Journal: "Billy" Bunday departed
Bunitay nl-ht with his wad. The people of Omaha
have evidently shown themselvea "easy marks." There
would have bin more Christianity displayed by glv.
Ing that money to charity.
Ponder Republic: "Rilly" Sunday forgot to take
up one subject of Importance during his stay In
Omaha and that was: Whether or not tha fellows
who "Jump" their newspaper bill will hava their sins
forgiven on the way to heaven.
York News: "Billy" Sunday thought a full hand
with a two draw was a sufficient number of weeks to
pump the hot truths Into those mallet headed, spindle
letrgnd, beer guttling, peanut brained blokea In Omaha,
but when ha seta his forty-four centimeter guns going
In Chlciurn ha expects It wlU require twelve weeks to
convince those hard hearted, lid lifting, dirty, desecrat
ing, foul mouthed, devllleh Imps In Chicago that they
should mend their ways and hit the trail and coma
across. "Billy" can get away with thla ruff stuff
all riant and If he can hold out for twelve weeks In
Chicaa-o you've sure enough got to hand it to tha guy
for ncrva and endurance. (No Infringement Intended.)
Crawford Courier: Tha devil In chuckling over tha
departure of "Billy" Bunday from Omaha, may find
himself In the position of the Irishmen who tickled
the hind foot of a mule with a straw. "Billy" prom
ises to come back next year and make prohibition
campaign speeches.
VVayno Herald: "Billy" Sunday received somewhat
In excess of I3O0P0 for his services In Omaha, and tha
people who gave tha money appear to be well satis
fied with returns. Tha evangelist had a whirlwind
finish Bunday, emd developed Increased Interest, leav
ing amidst the loud acclaim of tha multitudes. If tha
fiery kind of a hell "Billy" preached will make people,
otherwise bad, permanently good, one la inclined to
say tha end Justifies the means.
Kearney Hub: Discussion and "testimony" aa to
the efficacy of "Billy" Sunday's revival work In
Omaha haa been abundant during tha last few days
since the evangellet haa closed his work, and while wa
note that the battle of opinion wages pro and con.
there la a pretty general agreement that he haa dona
a very great work, Is a very great preacher, and
exerts a power that would be Impossible did ho not
have tha "grace of God" In hla heart. Even the real
"finicky" ones era less disposed to condema him be
cause of his slang and his Individual methods.
Nebraska City Press: 'Billy" Sunday, self-appointed
apostolic delegate of the Almighty on earth,
has excommunicated the eight members of the Omaha
school hoard who showed good sense enough to re
fuse tha Honorable "Billy" permission to spout his
Indecencies and ungrammatlcal slang before the lm
prenalonahle tioys and girls of the Omaha High school.
Naturally the Honorable Sunday grew peeved over tha
refusal and In a sermon In tha tabernacle the other
night ha devoutly and alncerely excommunicated the
f fending members of the board: In addition he con
algned them, figuratively speaking, to that domain
whose ruler he especially flghta. Tha excommunica
tions of these men will undoutedly hurt them socially,
morally, financially and, laat but not least, spiritually.
And tha Honorable Sunday probably la satisfied with
the result. . -
Twice Told Tales
Oace Blttaa, Twice Shy.
A philanthropic lady visited an asylum not long
ago and displayed great Interest In tha Inmatea. One
old man particularly gained her compassion. "And
how long have you bean here, my roanT" aha in
quired. "Twelva years," was the answer.
"Do they treat you well?"
"Yes."
"Do they feed you well?"
addressing a few more questions to him, the
Visitor passed on. She noticed a smile broadening n
the face of her attendant, and on asking the causa
heard with consternation that the old man was none
other than the medical superintendent. She hurried
back to make apologies. How successful she waa
may be gathered from these words: "I am sorry,
doctor. ' I will never be governed by appearances
again." Argonaut.

"There,' lad. 'tis a bonnla laas you've married, and
I wish you both Joy," said- tha old minister, as ho
gased at tha beaming faces of the young couple ha
had Just united. "You're getting to the end of your
troubles now," he added, encouragingly, to the bride
groom. Time went on, as time will, and a few months later
tha old minister met the young fellow who bad started
matrimony with auoh a smiling faoe,
"You look pretty miserable, my friend, said he.
"Well I might," came tha sulky answer. "I thought
you told ma in tha church aa "ow I'd got to tha end
of all my troubleaT"
"Ah, so I did, lad." said tha minister, with a glim
mer In hla eye, "but I didn't aay which end." New
York Times.
Worse Yet.
"We bad a bad accident the last time wa went
out motoring."
"What was It?"
"We were ao unfortunate aa to knock down a
man and fracture his skull"
"That waa bad."
"But that wasn't the unfortunate part of It The
man waa holding a sharp knife in his hand and the

OMAHA. Nov. 1 To the Editor of The
Bee: I see a communication In the Kan
sas City Star with reference to the Junior
senator from Missouri which I want to
paraphrase for Nebraska's democratic
senator, to whom It fits as well. With
these changes It says:
"The senator Is seeking wildly for an
Issue to distract the people's attention
while he tries to ride Into office again
upon the popularity of President Wilson,
who gained his popularity by doing things
the people wanted done, in spite of the
opposition of the senator from Nebraska.
It comes with rather poor grace for this
senator, after fighting President Wilson
and his policies on every occasion, to go
over Nebraska praising our great presi
dent and trying to foment race hatred
and strife among our people by referring
to the awful condition existing In war
ridden Europe.
"He finds the stats administration does
not ault him, so he tries to tear down
the democracy of Nebraska, apparently
willing to sacrifice everything to be
elected himself, so he may go back to
Washington and again oppose tha policies
of President Wilson." J. T.

8RAP-HANGER.
Competitive Free-Will Offerlaa-a.
LINCOLN, Nov. t To the Editor ot
Tha Bee: A Lincoln paper expresses a
thought that came to me when I waa
attending the Sunday meetings in Omaha
better than I can express it. It says
thla:
"If It la true that the Bunday "free
will offering waa stimulated by appeals
to Omaha to make Its donattlon as big
aa others of the size have made theirs,
it was not free giving, but an unretlgious
pride that functioned there. Homer was
happy to have a hundred cities compete
for the honor of being hie birthplace.
But to have a lot of cities engage In
rivalry to see which can give one the
most money Is some luck also. That,
however, la not much of a test of spirit
ual enthusiasm."
Competition Is the life of trade and
evidently also of religious revivals. L. B.

Philadelphia Record: When we found
it necessary in the civil war we sacri

suppressed newspapers, examined the

when tha emergency passed we returned

Baltimore American: It Is said that tha
