Afain the Traffic in Munition!
Adlrces . from Washington tell of the re
Introduction by Senator Hitchcock of his bill to
prohibit the exportation of war munitions to
belligerent countries, together with a loud
sounding announcement that he intends to push
this measure to the front. The question ot
traffic in munitions has been pretty thoroughly
argued and the administration ..has, taken a
definite stand upon it, which It may be well to
recall. The position of the United States, which
has the accepted sanction of International law,
Is outlined most clearly in the note sent to the
American ambassador at Vienna by Secretary
Lansing last August, following up a similar note
sent to the German ambassador by Secretary
Bryan in April. The salient paragraphs of this
document read as follows:
But, In addition to tha question of principle, there
la a practical and suhstaAtiai reason why tha govern
ment of tha United States had from tha foundation ot
tha republic to the present time advocated and pra;
tlced unrestricted trade in arms and military supplies.
It has never been tha policy of this country 'to main
tain In time of peace a large military establishment
of atores of arms and ammunition sufficient to repel
Invaalon by a well equipped and powerful enemy. It
has desired to remain at peace with all nations and
to avoid any appearance of menacing auch peace y
tha threat of Its armlea and navlna. In consequence
of this standing- policy tha United Plates would, in the
event of attack by a foreign power, be at tho out-set
of the war aerlously, If not fatally,- embarrassed 1y
tha lack of arms and ammunition and by the meana
to produce them In sufficient qlantltles to aupply tha
requirements of 'national defense. The United States
has always depended upon the right and power to pur
chase arms and ammunition from neutral natlona In
case of foreign attack.. This right, which it claim
for Itself, It cannot deny to others. , . ,
A nation whose principle and policy It Is to rely
upon International obligations and International justice
to preserve ita political Integrity might become the
prey of an aggressive nation whose policy and prac
tice It Is to Increase its military strength during times
of peace with tha design of conquest, unless the na
tion attacked can, after war. had been declared, gi
Into tha markets of tha world and purchase the means
to defend Itself against tha aggressor. . , .-. .,
Tha general adoption by the nations of the world of
tha theory that neutral powers ought to prohibit the
aale of arms and ammunition to belligerents would
compel every nation to have In readiness at all times
sufficient munitions ot war toimeet any emergency
which might aria and to erect and maintain estab.
llshmenta for tha manufacture of arm and amrauni
tlon sufficient to supply tha needs ot ita military and
naval forces throughout the progress ef a war.' Man
ifestly tha application of this theory would result In
every nation becoming an armed camp, ready to re
sist aggression, and tempted to employ, force In as
serting Its rights rather than appeal to reason and
Justice for the settlement of International disputes. '
Perceiving, as it docs, that the adoption of the
principle that It Is tha duty of a neutral to prohibit
tha sale of arms and ammunition to a belligerent dur
ing tha progress of a wr would Inevitably give tha
Advantage to the belligerent which had encouraged
the manufacture of munitions In time-of peace and.
wljch had laid In vant stores of arms and ammunition
In anticipation of war, the government of tho United
Statea la convinced that tho adoption of tha theory
would force militarism on tha world and work against
that universal peace which la tha desire and purpose
of all nations which exalt Justlo and righteousness
In their relation with one another.
The senator s arms bill may be used by him
for a little gallery play and to embarrass the
administration still further, but it must be plain
to everyone who knows anything about the situ
ation that it will get no farther than the talk
fest stage, and probably was not intended for
anything else. . . -
It behooves Chicago to put more of the "I
v. HI" spirit Into .the race for the republican
national convention. The ease with which St.
Louis ran away with the democratic ratification
meeting emphasizes the need of more speed and
leu dlglnlty. Philadelphia is a live wire in re
publican politics, and It has the money, too.
Plans (or the New Defense. . ' '
It was not to be expected that the policy of
preparedness could be put into operation with
cut some difference of opinion as to the methods
by which the general plan Is to be carried out.
This is one of the characteristics ot our national
way ot doing things, and when It Is announced
that four plans for the new defense are to be
presented to congress it is only proof that we
are living true to tradition. It will be on the
merit ot theie plana that final action will rest,
and this will, aa usual, be a compromise between
the four, with the good features of, each pre
served, perhaps, but out of it wtll come a general
scheme that will be workable, and subject to
modifications aa experience develops the need
thereof.
One encouraging feature of the situation Is
the harmony with which the political groups in
congress are approaching consideration ot the
subject. Mr. WUgon and the democratic lead
ers in congress have agreed that preparedness
wtll not be made a part ot the caucus program,
and Mr. Mann's conferences with the president
are significant of republican willingness to co
operate in the work. Opposition Is certain to
be encountered from those of both parties who
are sincerely committed to the pacifist position.
but this will not be In any sense partisan. -
With an apparent majority devoted to the
work ot providing more adequately for the de
fense of the country against any possible attack.
all that remains to be determined Is the most
useful plan, and the provision of means for car
rying it out. We will hear a grt-at deal from
experta on this topic during the next ' few
months. - ;

Public Influence on Books
STsw Jork Xvening ost.
CHANOK8 that have come about In tha publishing
trade in the laat few decadee. In tha attitude ot
publishers, authors, and the public toward one
another, were discussed by Roland Holt, of tha Arm
of Henry Holt A Co., one day this week. In an Inter
view with a representative of tha Evening Post. Mr.
Roland Holt looked bark over a quarter-century. One
of tho first subjects touched upon was the change in
the public taste In novels. The question waa asked,
"Were there many books accepted by publishers a
generation ago that would not be published now?"
"Unquestionably," Mr. Holt answered, "many
books that a publisher would have taken a generation
ago would have to be rejected now. They would In
clude the costume or romantic and historical novels,
once so popular, and many old-fashioned lova stories."
"' Mr. Holt then turned to the phenomenon of tha
popular demand for the sociological novel today.
"Ie seems to me." ha said, "that Mr. Wells bits
th keynote In The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman'
when he says something to tho effect that the woman
suddenly realised that ail waa not well with tha
world. And Archibald Henderson's phraaa In 'The
Changing Drama' about 'the drama of pity and re
volt' might be made almost aa well to apply to fic
tion. Certainly tha under dog Is coming Into his own
with a vengeance In fiction. Our most successful re
cent publications include three novels about a plucky,
humorous Irish charwoman, Martha-by-the-Pay,' and
we have Just Issued another by this 'author, in which
the heroine redeems herself by social service, while
our other principal ,f all fiction Includes Dorothy Can-'
field's story of the family of a poor professor, Tha
Bent Twig,' and Inea Il&ynes Olllmore's Tha Olllvant
Orphsji,' another humorous struggle for existence.
Tha pendulum has swung from tha lords and ladles' cf
moat novels in the last generation, though they are
occasionally admitted to fiction, and we certainly
would not 'scorn tho nohly born or well connected'
were they to figure in fiction offered to ua.
"For one, I miss the beauty and plcturesquenesa
of the novels of a generation ago, and therefore take
unusual satisfaction in tha continued success of Ro
land's ideallstio 'Jean-Christopho.' "
'Upon the changes In public taste, Mr. Holt said:
"It seems to me that there Is not nearly tha de
mand for belles-lettres or for books of travel and
description that there once was, and that tha success
of Robert Frost and a handful of poets scarcely real
izes the renaissance of poetry that soma persons now
see. The beautiful haa largely fallen before tha
practical. Never before, It seems to me, was there
such a demand for books on how to do thing and
make things, and for sociological -works. There haa
unquestionably been a great Increase In the publica
tion of drama books, but their salea are still rather
limited. la there even an indication In what demand
there Is for printed plays that some hurrying Ameri
cans prefer them to novels, because they are shorter?"
The success of works from tha commercial point
of view also came In for Mr. Holt's attention,
"Mr. Tard. I believe." he said, "wrote a short while
ago that authors were demanding such high royalties
on novels that there Is llttla profit in tha 'big sellers.'
We certainly are declining many novels now that we
might once have taken, and a number of our most
profitable ventures have been outside tha field of fic
tion. While we have found moat of our own novelists
most amenable, still, when critics blame authors for
too much extraneous matter, or for positive breaks, I
sometimes think that, if several of these authors had
not, a some do, said to iha publishers, 1 already have
another .publisher ready to take my novel aa It
stands.' 'both they and their publishers might have
had better returns. Few authors have any Idea of
the number of novels that might have had twice the
sale they got If things that might easily have been
cut out or-'softened,', without any effect upon the ar
tlatlo integrity of the work, bad not been left In to
bore or to offend reader.
Tho most successful authors no longer have tha
phenomenal aales that once were theirs, when 'David
Ilamra' waa said to have sold A0O.OM annla. mn sev
eral other novels sold ftf OOO or over. That wu thai
day when phenomenal advertising was 'fooling the'
public,' which has since learned Its lesson. While th.'s
waa going on, numerous persons who never read any
thing but newspapers or magailnee before, started
reading books, and It did not take them long to flnJ
out that there were good ones besides the poor ones
they had been deceived with. Whlla most successful
novelists do not have the phenomenal salea they had a
score or more years ago. probably moro novelists have
reasonably good sales. In early daya, tha success of
a few novelists took up such a large percentage of
the readers that others novels were flat failures.
"For reasons already Indicated, many novelists who
Could once get a hearing cannot do so now. About
the time of the height of the 'best seller publishers
were paying authors advance royaltlea for a novel that
had not even been written. Bo much poor work was
done by good authors nnder theaa conditions that the
public's confidence in particular authors la not what
It once waa And publisher and author cannot be sure
of a great suocess on tha basts of name and reputation
alone. . I am sure, however, that there has been a
great abatement of this practice of tha aeUIng of un
written books, and that the work of the authors la of
a mora even quality than In those feverish days."
Twice Told Tales
A Oae-Hlded Oaafeat.
A woman from the plneland belt, who had aeen a

Decatur street on her husband's wagon, waa arrested
fur talking- bacK to an officer of tho law.
"She Jabbered steadily for a half hour when I told
her aha must not stand so long squarely in the middle
of the atreet." explained the officer who made tha ar
rest. "I couldn't even get a word in edgewise. It was
the most awful gab I ever heard.".
Turning to the prisoner, tha Judge aald:
"What have you to say for yourself, madam T"
"Couldn't help it. Jcdge," responded the offender;
"tried fo' ter shet up, but th' officer looked so much

OMAHA. Deo. 10. -To the Edttor of The
Bee: I think Th Bes owes me a publlo
spology, and should reprimand the re
porter responsible for the ridicule heaped
upon me, and mis-statements of actual
facts. In an article published under fat
headlines saying that "School Ma'ama
Plan to Oet Ernst an Alarm Clock." etc
I do not object to a Joke, but when- It
goes too far I protest Your reporter
should first have asked me about tha
facts, and avoided unjustly and without
cause publicly ridiculing and offending
me. Likewise the teacher or teacher
who have creted an utterly Incorrect Im
pression, deserve being reprimanded. Tha
facts, as I now remember them, were as
follows: There were 1.100 ot the warrants
to be signed. I found them at my house
on getting home. I would have algned
them the same evening, as I have fre
quently done, before retiring, but I had
an Important engagement made before I
had any notice of the warrants coming
to me that evening. I could not possibly
change that engagement; It waa not not
a theater or social or other personal
matter. It waa on business of the board
and very Important I reached home
about 10:30 and at once atarted signing;'
about midnight I quit, setting my alarm
clock for a. m., and at about a. m.
t started in again and finished before
breaafast carried the package to my of
fice and phoned the secretary's office, aa
customary, to send tha messenger after
them.
I aerved the city of Lincoln In tha
same sort of capacity for three years, the
state of Nebraska for six years, and I
have now aerved the city of Omaha one
year, a total of ten years of absolutely
gratuitous services to my fellow cltlsena
I have never before been charged, as In
this Instance, with being negligent or
dilatory, and whlla I don't mind a good
natured Joke, I most emphatically protest
against being thus publicly misrepre
sented or ridiculed, and I think this
should be given the same prominence
and position in your paper as waa given
to tha article I am objecting to. Yours
respectfully. C J. ERNST
An Unfair Law.
OMAHA, Dec. . To the Editor of The
Bee: The beauties of tha so-called "em
ployers' liability or compensation law"
wero vividly brought to my attention
within tha last few daya
A strong and hearty young married
man, who waa dangerously injured while
in tho employ of a great corporation,
tame to consult with me about his case.
Ills Injuries were most dreadful and al ev
ening too look upon. Yet under the beauti
ful compensation law he get tne
munificent sum of 15 per week to sup
port himself and family while he naa
been unable to earn a cent for four
montha, and a sklllod physician, who la
not In the employ of the corporation, tells
him it will be a number of weeks before
it will be safe for him to work at all.
and yet tha representatives of this cor
poration are rying to force him to go
back to work so they will not nave to
pay tha 16 per week any longer.
Ha suffered intensely for many weeks
and had many people received, tha In
juries he did It la doubtful If they would
live through It Tha young man came to
see if there was not some way In which
tha so-called employers' liability act could
be set aside and recover damages for the
terrible Injuries he had received. My
hands were tied by this Iniquitous law
and I was helpless to do htm a bit of
good. Ha said the compensation law
ought to bo called tha law of oppression.
. If the young man's case could be tried
before a Jury of honest men they would
not take long to give him from $5,000 to
$10,000 for tha Injuries he received, for
It is doubtful If he ever recovers from
them and may yet lose a part of his
physical being.
It has been the style with a great many
reople In the last few years to strike at
lawyers and their profession, and I sup
pose one reason It Is kept up Is that few
lawyers atrlke back publicly or resent the
imputations that are cast upon them
every day of the yoar. Tha so-called
compenaatlon act la one of the many
clubs that have been used to strike at the
legal profession, and It has struck so
hard that it not only hlta lawyers, but
hits the worklngraen still harder. Wage
earner struck themselves a harder blow
than they struck the lawyers, and It Is
no wonder they are starting a movement
for Its repeal, and I hope they will suc
ceed In their efforts to strike out a law
that should never have been adopted, and
which I for on voted agalhst when It
was submitted to the voters last year.
The movement to have free legal advice
Is another club to be used against law
yers. I know of few lawyers who will
take advantage ot a poor man, and I
know that lawyers give more free advice
and lose more money on account of dis
honest men who can pay than in any
other Una of biislnesa
If wa have free legal bureaua, why not
bav free newspapers printed at publlo
expense for those who say they cannot
pay for them J Why not have houses put
up at public expense and let people who
say they cannot pay rent live In tuem
free of costT Why not carry this com
munistic idea into every line of life and
have everything free for those who say
they cannot pay for themT
It. Is time the legal profession would
arise in its might and combat the fade
and fancies that have grown up to the
last few yeara to the detriment ot lawyers
and everybody else as well.

Ca You Know The
Food Value of
Spaghetti?
When vou talk about buying ten cent
or one dollar' worth ol any foodstuffs,
what do you- mean by "worth?" The only
measure of genuine worth in the pur

water think of that when sirloin is
chalked up at 38c a lb. three-quarters
water!

same authority says that they contain
only 10 per cent water, and these foods
are absorbed almost In their entirety
tro to make blood, muscle and tissue.
