YTa mm evevSVeAS- a In tie Case of Boy-Ed. rresent Indications are that the Department of Justice has been somewhat OTersealous in the rase of Captain Boy-Ed, German naval attache, connected with the embassy of his country at Washington. So far as has been disclosed In the trial in progress, the captain has done nothing against the law of nations, or the laws of the In I ted 8tate. He displayed a proper solicitude for the merchant marine and the nary of his country, but without overstepping due bounds. It Is unfortunately true that not all of his coun trymen, domiciled In the United States, were as circumspect as the captain, and his relations with them may be considered as affording the preteit for the language employed by the prosecuting attorney, which is now complained of by the Ger man ambassador. Should matters develop that we are wrong, the incident may be given a ser viceable turn by enabling us to give the world how quickly we may abandon a wrong attitude, ence It has been disclosed. War and Ship Building. Announcement by an eastern railroad that it ran not accept for the present freight consigned to Europe, will serve to call attention in a pointed way to the harvest that Is being reaped by the ocean transportation lines. This railroad icports Its sidings and switch-yards blockaded for hundreds of miles, some of the loaded cars having stood for eighty days, waiting for the ship to take the load. Similar tales of freight block ades are coming from other sections. On the I'aclfle coast, docks and wharves are plied high with goods, awaiting shipment, for which no ves sels ran be found. Freight rates In the mean time have risen to enormous figures. For ex ample, when the war broke out, the rate from San Francisco to Australia on wheat was 23 shillings; a few days ago a charter was made at 130 shillings. No war risk Is assumed In this trade, but the demand for tonnage Is responsible. ,Tne steamer Minnesota sailed from Seattle within a fortnight, laden with above 16,000 tons of cargo, the freight on which will more than de fray the expense of the trip to Liverpool, and pay the purchase price of the ship, which was sold by the Hill Interests to the British. Shipyards are reported to have orders for three years' work now booked, and at figures in keeping with the advance in freight rates. Navy yard bids on construction of vessels authorized y the United States were far below private proffers for doing the work. Whatever con struction Is done by the United States govern ment must be done tn its own yards. This brings the case squarely back to the McAdoo plan for the development of an American merchant marine. Short of admitting foreign-built ships to American register and participation In the now forbidden field of American coast-wise trade, tha administration seems to face a blank wall. Will It dare to break down the last protectfon, that saved a few ships to sail under the American flag? Most Annoying;, to Be Sore. With the primaries Imminent, and all its sev eral members looking forward to endorsement by the people, either for retention or advancement in office, the democratic administration at Lin coln is having its troubles these days. It was bad enough to have the governor and the state treasurer fall out and call each other names, but to have the State Board of Control involved in a mess that shows on its surface negligence, If not indifference, in enforcing the laws, is most an roylng. The State Board of Control was de signed to keep things straight, not to mix them up. However, with the example set by the gov ernor, in the matter of disregarding statutory provisions for the handling of the state funds, to guide him, it la scarcely to be wondered at that a newly Imported superintendent should have taken some liberties with the bookkeeping. He musj. have thought It the custom in Nebraska. The Law and Its Agents. The warden of the Arlsona penitentiary Is Just now in a rather peculiar predicament. For reasons of his own he neglected to carry out sen tence of death passed on a convict, and now be Is cited for contempt by the supreme court of the state, which signed the death warrant. His will be, perhaps, the first case of Us kind, although history records many Instances wherein failure to obey orders has brought disaster to the negligent. In this case, the warden Is but the instrument of the law, which In Its orderly course has laid upon him the unpleasant, and perhaps distasteful duty of hanging a man. It the law la to be of service to the people, it must be faithfully administered by its agents, and only when it is so observed will it be respected. American disregard for law is notorious, a na tional characteristic due in some degree to the facility with which we make and unmake statutes, and the ready ease with which the penalty of the law Is often avoided. The su preme court of Arizona has a fine chance to show the world that It respects Its own decrees, regard less of the opinions of the warden. ' Individually, no doubt, .the American Bank ers' association possesses' the knowledge out lined In Comptroller Williams' statement. Col lectively the association lacked Inside informa tion or It would not have challenged the state ment that some national banks violate state statutes against usurious interest charges. It behooves the association In the future to search its members and acquire accurate knowledge on the subject before speaking above a whisper. A distinguished Wisconsin doctor tickles the barren cuticle of baldheads with the positive statement, drawn from lifelong study, that the train cells beneath shining domes remain sound and active to the end of the road. A baldheaded man is never found in an Insane asylum. Com ing from an authoritative source tht great truth Is more precious than hair as a cover for the bald spot. The shoe-string republic of Panama, al though assured of adequate nourishment from Its parent, must obey domestic regulations or suffer a reduction of pap. Secretary Lansing approved a government loan on condition that an American supervises the spending of the money. The Panama government accepted the terms. It needs the money. Custom and fashion frowns, but common sense approves the dying request of a Chicago man that his family limit wearing mourning to four weeks. To those whose hearts are numbed by the loss of those near and dear a garb of gloom la superfluous and positively injurious. First Two Years of The Lincoln Highway Secretary A. T. Bement in AaiomebUe TepJea. i Mora than 2.JMnon have already been expended, not to mention sreater auma In liond Issues. The aeconj year, In spite of war conditions, waa more nolabia In results than the first. While nothlnf, spectacular took place, yet the work accomplished in an order'.y and efficient way meant more for the euccesa of tha road. Tha eecond year of endeavor haa been concentrated upon three main point the marking of the route, tta rapid improvement In had-eurface material, and the dissemination of educational literature and pub licity aiming at the molding of public opinion to the Idea of expending public funds, in a losical, aan?, and efficient way, upon roada leading from aome definite point to aome other equally definite point, and built of a material which allowa of conatant uae 36S daya In tha year, regardless of weather conditions The effect of this propaganda haa been far-reaching and la reflected In tha doaens of organizations which have sprung Into being during the last year with tha avowed Intention of working toward the construction of afmllar connecting Improved roada, either parallel ing or connecting with the Lincoln Highway, feed ing It. To all practical purposes, the Lincoln Highway la now completely marked from New York to Ban Fran cisco. There are polnta where the marking la not as complete aa It ahould be, but this Is being rapidly taken cars of. Automobile clubs, local good roads organizations, board of commerce, and other ctvL' and patriotic organisations have made it a point t complete the marking In their localltiea. In many placea the tourists find the red, white and blue marker on every auccesslve telegraph pole for miles, as in sections of Iowa and Nebraska. Again, only one r two to the mile will be found, thla particularly In flu far west, where the Lincoln Highway la the only roH'l, and It la practically Impossible to go wrong. The assoclation'a records Indicate that over 1.150,0V have been spent on tha Lincoln Highway In Ohio during, tha laat year, and that l 10,000 additional has been bonded for by tha different countiea through which the route passes. Ohio haa slxty-stx miles cf . brick construction on its section of the Lincoln High way, more than any other state. Tha progreas of the work In Indiana, a atata which haa no atata highway authorities, haa been notable. Hixty-elght miles of concrete road on the Lincoln Highway are either under construction or have bean bonded for at tha present time. A concrete section sixteen feet wide haa already been completed between Morrison and Sterling, III., In Whiteside county, with cement contributed by the association. Sentiment for hard aurfaced roada In thla atate la conatantly growing and has been fostered by tha support of Oovernor Dunne and tha state highway department. The route across Iowa haa been prepared for hacd surfacing to an almost uniform width of thirty feet Eleven thousand barrels of cement have been alloted to thla atate thla year for concrete construction and will be placed as soon aa necessary action has been taken by the legislature to allow of Its uae. Prac tically every Lincoln Highway bridge of the atate of Iowa la of permanent re-enforced concrete construc tion, with a minimum width of twenty feet. The thirteen Lincoln Highway countiea of the atate have spent $260,000 In round figures on the highway In the laat two yeare, more than half of thla aum during 191 . Five sections of the concrete construction are now tinder way In Nebraska on the Lincoln Highway, In cluding the aeedllng mile juat being completed east of Grand Island. A vaat amount of grading, leveling, widening and straightening of the route haa taken place tn this state, although as yet natural roada conatitute the majority of the Lincoln Highway's length. The Wyoming section of the highway, while containing no atrotchea of hard-surfaced road, haa received particular attention In the matter of main tenance, and aome (200,000 has been spent during the past year. The Lincoln Highway from Lake Tahoe on the Nevada-California border to Ban Francisco ia prac tically In boulevard condition for 100 per cent of lis length. The roads of California and the marvelous scenery of tha high Blerraa along the Lincoln High way bave drawn thouaands of tourists west thla season. Tha plans for the continuance of the Lincoln High way association's endeavor during the coming year contemplate a further extension of the work which haa been done In the paat. Tha actual construction of the Lincoln Highway to the ultimata Ideal tn the tnlnda of Its founders will be an evolution reaching nearer and nearer to Its final realisation every year. It la especially desired to accomplish during tha coming year a maximum of hard aurfaced construe tlonin western atatea where local conditions will not allow of auch construction with tha funda provided through regular road Improvement sources. It Is of the utmost importance to the atatea of the Pacific coast, aa well aa to the great and wealthy common weatha of the east, that the road acroaa our middle west be In auch condition aa to allow the moat con atant ease of communication between tha east and west. Twice Told Tales ramlafclBC Cmlldrea. x Rabbi Julius Bllberfeld, of the B nal Abraham Temple, In High atrcet. In addressing hla congregation on the punishment of children, said: "Many fathers punish their children too severely for a misdeed, and when this happena the child goea right back and doea the same thing over again. I once knew a father that tried thla plan upon hla sun, 'Whenever you commit a deed that you know la wrong you are to drive a nail into the pole.' "Rome time after the boy came running to hla father and explained that he had filled the pole and couldn't get another nail In edgewaya. Father and aon went to the pole together, and then the father asked the aon what he waa going to do. Seeing hla aon bad nothing to aay, he auggeated the boy pull out a nail whenver he did anything wrong. whereupon the aon replied, 'Why not plant another pole, father" Newark Star. Over-Part u-elar. Aa aged negro porter, nearly 80 yeara old, waa arrested on aome trivial charge, for which he was later discharged. It proved, during the trial, that he had never aeen tha Inside of a court before, and the buatle of eventa greatly dased and embarrassed him. Aa he atood up when hla name was railed the clerk sang forth: "Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you shall give in thla raae ahall be the truth, th' whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" And the negro started back, gasping. Then ha turned quickly to the bench.

Nov. i7.-To the Editor of The Bee: Truth la atranger than fic tion. Thla la the sad experience of Betsy, I and tha babies. I was brought up to save money and put It to work aa an InveMment. My surplus money Is Invested In a company that manufactures perfumes and toilet articles. On December 1, 1914, the emer gency revenue art, which put a "war tax" on perfumea and toilet articles, went Into effect. Thla tax la unfair and Is a species of discriminating legislation aa It la all paid by the manufacturers. When congress gets ready to tax all other trades and industries, dry goods, hardware, Jewelry and the rest, the drug and allied manufacturer will assert no right to exemption. Now the manufacturing druggist psys: 1. A "00 per cent tax on alcohol. ". A 20 per cent tariff on raw mate rinls. t. An income tax. 4. A corporation tax. 6 Btnte. municipal and documentary atamp taxes. 6. A "war tax" which practically takes one-half of our net profits. Take a manufacturer doing a business of $.109,000 a year. Under exceptional con- dltlona and before the "war tax" was imposed on his products he may have been so fortunate as to earn a net profit of 10 per cent, or $30,000. Today tha government la stepping In and laying a tax of 5 per cent or $15,000 which la half of hla net profits. Theae war taxes are said to be a tax on "luxuries." Some of the Items are tooth paate. tooth powder, talcum powder, deodorants, ate The ad- anca of hygiene haa made theae articles necesalttea. The prices on an drugs that are used have Increased on account of the war and some of them as high aa 00 per cent. The solution of the problem would be n requiring that the tax be paid by the consumer on every piece; the same aa It s with the telephone, telegraph, freight and express receipts, eto. It haa been auggeated that the tax be raised to 1 cent on articles of 26-eent retail selling price; 2 cents on EO-cent articles; 4 cents on $1 articles. The stamp to be affixed at the time of making the sale. But to get back to the part of the story where Betsy, I and the babies are nterested. We have a gloomy outlook for Christ mas. All of the money that we have la Invested In the perfume and toilet artl clea company. Our dividend will be cut In two by the "war tax." I will have I: to make my old overcoat do another winter. Betsy is working remodeling her I old hate, clothes and furs. The bablea will have to do without some artlelea that we were planning to buy and w-e are hoping that congress will not re enact the emergency revenue act when it meeta In December.
