' ' In counting up the achievements of U-53, puncturing the tire of boosted prices should not be overlooked. '' ' Despite the boom of guns and crash of ships, Cape Cod clung to its conning tower, quietly noting how Nantucket While his discretion It open to question, the ousted Bridgeport Nasby demonstrated that he was not "too proud to fight" A mere national committeeman isn't good enough, it seems, for a real democrat, who miiat he welcomed by at least a precinct captain, Should the war extend its field of' operation much farther, Mars may exclaim more truthfully than Monte Cristo: "The world is mine." . Berlin says the British tanks translated from Peoria are "good or nothing." Possibly Peoria did not send the regular tank ammunition along.

However, as long ss the box office receipts provide the right amount of solace, less disposi tion wilt be shown by the, losers of the world series to blame it on the umpires. If humanity was wise enough to compel its monarchal bosses to light their battles to a fin ish individually, barbarism would get the knock put and civilization leap forward to heights of glory. ' Our new cruiser fleet, now in the building, al ready Is described ss "the finest in the world." Self-praise is gratifying to national vanity, but it should be restrained until the war cloud lifts snd glimpse is had of the newer fighting craft of warring nations. .

Nebraska' 8 Semi-Centennial -Lax- On March 1, 1867, the territory of Nebraska was admitted to the union. A celebration of the semi-centennial of that event was arranged for during the last year by the State Historical so ciety. The program agreed upon covered three chief features: (1) A historical parade in the city of Omaha in the fall of 1916, to be the cur tain raiser for the celebration. (2) A series of local celebrations and exercises, especially in the schools, on the date of the fiftieth anniver sary of the admission, March 1, 1917. And (J) the final celebration at the state capital in June, 1917, presenting the cream of these school ob servances snd a great pageant covering the salient points in Nebraska history. . The first part of this program has just been carried out by the city of Omaha in a way to give the greatest satisfaction to every citizen of Nebraska. The presence of President Wilson helped to swell the attendance beyond all ex pectation and to give the affair added dignity and importance. But the historical parade had been organiied long before the president con sented to sppear in the reviewing stand, and it is only fair to say that the great success of the celebration was not due to any special favor from Washington. The presence of the presidential party merely brought the effort to a complete and gratifying climax. It helped to make the day perfect and memorable, just the sort of ob servance that a half century birthday of a great state deserve a. The city of Omaha more than carried out its promises and set a standard that is a challenge to Lincoln and all of the other communities in the state. Under the stimulus of Omaha's ex ample we ought now to prepare with new seal ana enthusiasm to make the remaining features of the celebration equal if they cannot surpass . this splendid beginning. Humorist, or Just Peevish? Thomas Riley Marshall has come and gone, and left everybody but the editor of the World Herald wondering whether he exhibited a subtle brand of Hoosier humor, or just a plain grouch while in Omaha. To get a proper perspective on Mr. Marshall, one must remember that it was he who said that, should death or disability overtake the president he would resign the office of vice president. This patriotic impulse was stirred by the fact that William Jennings Bryan Was then secretary of state and would have succeeded to the presidency, had Mr. Marshall cleared the way. Abo, on another occasion, Mr. Marshall proved his devotion to the civil service law and his party's declaration in favor of supporting the merit sys tem by saying if there were an office that could not be filled by a democrat, he was in favor of abolishing that office. His speech at the theater in Omaha was in harmony with these declarations, while his relations with the local democrats were quite as friendly as those now existing between the nations of Europe. All in all, Br'er Marshall either had a bully time in Nebraska, or he didn't, and we can't tell from his utterances which it ' Dealing With the Automobile Thieves. Police departments of the United States have been grappling with a very complicated problem for months, and as yet have made little headway toward its solution. It is the stealing of automo biles. In early days in this country horsesteal ing was practiced to an annoying degree, and the pioneers had an effective way of checking the crime. They simply hanged the culprit when over taken, feeling certain that he, at least, would no longer trouble in the same way. This summary method cannot be adopted in dealing with the thieves who steal the automobiles, but victims of their operations frequently wish it were possible to restore the pioneer practice. The police are troubled because of the di vision of the crime into distinct branches. First comes the wayward boys and young men, who seize a machine for the purpose of "joy riding," and use it till something gives out and then aban don it by the roadside. These culprits are fre quently apprehended, "and just as frequently es cape under light punishment, their deed being accounted mischief rather than rightly listed as a crime. Another class is the local thief, who dis poses of his plunder in some nearby city, or sells the parts of the dismantled machine. The third, and most persistent of thfc lot, is the representa tive of an organization that appears to be nation wide .in its operations, and under whose manipu lations the identity of stolen machines is so varied that it is only with difficulty they can ever be recognized, and who vend their loot far from the scene of the theft. Legitimate trade in used cars is growing with the general development of the industry, snd this growth itself has made easier the way for the au tomobile thief. Dealers and owners are alike concerned in the problem and will welcome a reasonable solution. Until it is found the owner must seek safety in vigilance, while to the traf fic in used cars, the old doctrine of "let the buyer beware" should be applied in its best sense. , What Does Mr. Marshall Mean? "When some nation offers a deliberate and deadly insult to the American people, or . puts an unfriendly . foot on American soil, then we'll have war, and not before." Thomas Riley Marshall in his Omaha speech. What about the Tampico incident or the sa lute to the flag that Huerta did not give? What about Columbus, and other outrages along the border? What about Carrizal? What does Mr. Marshall consider an insult or "an unfriendly foot?" And, last of all; what is his definition of war? t' ' It is easy to understand now why the eminent citizen of Indiana expressed the pious wish that Woodrpw Wilson would be spared to fill out the entire term for which he was elected. Another Bit of the Record. , , Inspired by patriotic pride engendered by the splendid historic pageant he reviewed in Omaha, President Wilson spoke of the growth and de velopment of our country until the surveyor and the census taker could not longer find a frontier on the continent. Then he told of how that frontier was flung 7,000 biles across, the ocean to include the Philippines. He did not tell, how ever, of the unpatriotic attempt made to abandon those islanda and the people to whom the United States is obligated by all ties of honor and mor ality. Nor did he tell that the bill for (his pur pose was prepared and reported to the senate by Gilbert M. Hitchcock, with the approval of the president and the democratic caucus. Had it not been for the Clarke amendment, which was forced by the indignation of the country, sroused by this shameless effort that frontier would have been hauled back 7,000 miles by President Wilson and the democratic senator1 from Nebraska. Let's keep the record straight Machine Shops After the Wsr. , Charles M. Schwab is quoted by the demo crats as saying the munition shops will become machine shops after the war. This is true, and applies with even greater force to Europe than to the United States. Thirty millions of Europe's population is just now occupied with the busi ness of war. When peace is restored, they will go back into peaceful pursuits, just as will Ameri cans who are now employed as munition makers. All the energy now expended on fabricating ar ticles for the uses of armies will be directed to production to be distributed under peace. What does this mean to Americans? That the output which is now sold in s market in which the de mand steadily exceeds the supply will then be sold under terms of fiercest competition known to man's commercial history. Can the United States meet the competition under free trade, with its markets open to the wor'J? Will our indus try be continued and our prosperity made sure unless we return to the established principle of protection? Answer this for yourself. . Jewelers sre leading a movement in the re tail trade seeking to induce the president to pro claim the third Thursday in November as Thanks giving day instead of the fourth Thursday, as has been the custom heretofore! The movers be lieve that with Thanksgiving day pushed ahead, four full weeks would be devoted to the holiday trade. The idea gleams with business, provided the shoppers fall for it Neutrals share with enemy nations almost equal tosses of shipping by submarine operations on the high seat. The sinking of Dutch and Nor wegian ships near the American coast shows ruthless disregard of the rights of neutrals on the high seas High Food Cost Crime Baltimore American. Nothing could more certainly bring on a revolution in this country than the heartless ra pacity of those who deliberately raise the price of the things of common subsistence. Where does the. responsibility lie and what is the remedy for it? Nothing so prominently featured in the Wilson campaign of lour years ago as the claim of the democrats that the election of their can didate and success of their ticket would insure the lowered cost of living. Mr. Wilson came into power just at the time when the high cost of living was a paramount question. The republicans, through competent study, were pre paring to place tne entire matter of cost sustenta tion upon a scientific basis, so that such legisla tion as might be required might find adoption. The democrats came into power liaring their pro fession of ability to lessen the cost of living. They adopted the Underwood tariff measure that had the effect of taking all prospect of a liveli hood from many. This led to the president s plan of a national employment agency to find work for men cast out of work through the so-called competitive tariff that invited the cheap labor products of Europe to rob the American worker of his rightful means of livelihood. Then came the war that distracted attention and stayed the Kernicious effects of the Underwood law and the igh cost of living continued to mount Under republican administration' it had at least been stopped in its upward progress in some directions. Mr Wilson nronoserl throueh his secretary of the interior that the south go into hog and chicken raising to provide a substitute for beet ana mut ton. Here then is all that the democrats can show a ridiculously feeble proposition. Does the country want hog and chicken pros perityand it hasn't that or does it want beef and mutton prosperity? It is well to keep in mind the record of the party in power in consid ering the widely discussed and non-political as pects of the question of how to lower the price cost of living. The purely economic aspects of the matter have been missed entirely by the ad ministration that has not lifted a finger to bet ter the conditions ithat it so vauntingly laid to the charge of the republican party. Hence the business bodies are taking hold of the matter in as earnest and enlightened manner as they can. The movement originated by the Washing ton Chamber of Commerce and that gives promise 01 nation-wide extension, through similar bodies in the various cities, is interesting. The increase of retail prices is a matter that will be laid be before the federal trade commission, as well as a survey of the increase of living costs generally throughout the country. An embargo upon the exportation of wheat and other foodstuffs will find advocacy if when the matter has been in vestigated with thoroughness it shall be found this would afford some relief and at the same time not invite retaliatory measures by countries affected. The Rights of Mankind , 1 1 St. Louis Globe-Democrat "We want always to hold the force of America to fight for the rights of mankind, not for the rights of property," said President Wilson in his speech at Omaha. This is another of those fine sounding phrases which the president loves to utter and which invariably rceal the unprac tically of his character. What does he mean by It? What arc the "rights of mankind" for which he would reserve exclusively the fighting powers of the nation? And what are the fights of prop erty, for which he would not fight? "Mankind" is a broad term. It covers the e.itire human race. To fight for humanity is an inspiring thought, to be sure, but how are we to fight, where are we to fight, and whom are we to fight in a cause re stricted 'to that principle? Under what circum stances! could we wage a war for the rights of mankind, and not for the rights of property? Was ever a war so fought? We have fought none.' The war of the revolution was founded upon property rights, upon the unjust taxation of property. The war of 1812 was based upon com merce. The Mexican war was over a matter of property the state of Texas. The civil war was primarily a property war, a war for the preserva tion of the union, for the retention of that which belonged to the nation. We like to think of the;, war with Spain as a war for humanity, and in a large sense it was, but the rights of property, of Cuban property, and the commercial interests of America, were at the bottom of it It is true enough that questions of humanity have been in volved in all of our wars, but no one has been fought exclusively for, the "rights of mankind," nor even exclusively for the nonproperty rights of Americans. It is hardly conceivable that the United States or any other nation could be brought into a war "for the rinhts of mankind and not for property rights." The freedom of the seas is a right of mankind, hut it is essentially a property right Even life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are dependent upon property, except among savages, for the application of the term "property" is not limited to estates, but includes possessions how ever small. A loaf of bread is pioperty, involving all the rights, of property. To talk about a force held exclusively for the rights of mankind and not for the rights of property is nonsense. Yet In this one particular Mr. Wilson has been con sistent In all his international dealings the rights of property, the property of American citi zens, have been ignored, or treated with. utter contempt while he talked glibly of intangible "rights of mankind." What this country needs now is a president who will stand by and, if need be, fight for American rights, without any such fine-haired distinctions. , Tips on Home Topics Philadelphia Ledger: It would seem that an American gun, like an American artist, requires a debut in Europe.

Baltimore American: Protection is no longer a partisan slogan; it is a patriotic symbol. And the American voter who sees the frayed ends of the American constitution and the unraveling texture of the American national character will be quick to place at the national loom Mr. Hughes in order that he may repair the wear and tear of the nation's living texture by policies that lack consistency, by proposals that lack the warrant of American habit and action. . American Magazine: Louis F. Swift, president of Swift & Co., the great meat packing company, has the idea that being in debt is the surest way to succeed. He urges every one of his 35.000 employes to get into debt and to keep in debt, and he has organized a system to encourage them in this and to show them how to do it profitably. "Get in debt for something of intrinsic value, and stay in debt," he says. "As soon, as you get one thing paid up, buy something else, and get in debt again. "Stay in debt never get out." People and Events An organized pull is on in Kansas to build across the state a belt of concrete road 500 miles long. The route proposed is the Old Trails road furrowed in pioneer days The estimated cost of a concrete road fourteen feet wide is $7,500 a mile, one-half of which would be paid by the fed eral government. The new law against untruthful advertising in the District of Columbia scored its first victim last week. Some months ago a merchant adver tised great bargains in men's clothes.

To the Editor of The Bee: As I was poring over the pages of your esteemed contemporary down the street, I ran across a para graph which gave me an Idea that 1 think ought, to win me the Nobel Peace Prize, and which will without doubt end the great war at one fell swoop. The paragraph which was the cause of this great Inspiring thought and which 1 think will place my name in history as one of the great mili tary geniuses of the world, was as fol lows: SINQLB CANADIAN CAPTURES U GERMANS, 18 REPORT Ottawa, Oct. S. Tha exploit of a wound ed Canadian trooper, who leaped from hla trench, killed and wounded many Germane and compelled alxty-two othera to aur render, la deeorlbed in a dtapatch received here today from Canadian headquartere In Franca. Inasmuch as one wounded Canadian can account for sixty-two Germans, all that is necessary is to take- the number of Germans available for military duty at the present time and divide by sixty-two. We will say, for Instance, that Germany can put 6,000,000 men In the field. This num ber divided by sixty-two equals 96,744 and a fraction. The rest is easy. All you've got to do is to get 96,774 Canadians, take them out and wound them slightly. I think they should be wounded, tu be on the safe side, as in this particular Instance it was a wounded Canuck who pulled off this wonderful killing.) Turn the bunch loose on the Germans and the war Is over, aa the Austrians, Turks and Bulgarians will be "duck soup" after the Germans are eliminated. Incidentally, I might mention the fact that I don't think a heluva lot of a big metropolitan daily that will give even haif a stickful of space to such rot as the above clipping. EVERETROO. college degrees and college examina tions are but preliminary to the world's final examination embodied In one question what can you do7 Those who would heal the sick must pass this examination. The world carea little how many letters you are entitled to add to your real name, but cares much if you can really do what you hold yourself out for. Again, with rare exceptions, the world Is perfectly willing to give re spectable, well-intentioned people a fair opportunity In an open field to prove that they can do the thing they say they can do, and it is an auto matic test that all fair-minded peo ple are willing to accept. CARL E. HERRING. Education and Practice. Omaha, Oct 9. To the Editor of The Bee: In The Bee of October 7 a lady who enjoys the distinction of appending her name B. 8., D. O., D. Sc. O., complains of the low educa tional standards of Christian Scien tists. Lest some of your readers may know the meaning of parts of this alphabetical arrangement we hasten to say that osteopaths, with rare ex ceptions, are quite willing to rest their case on the merits of their own sys tem of healing and do not go out 0: their way to belittle others. Education certainly Is held In as high repute by Christian Scientists as by any other citizens, and a prac titioner before being recognized as such in the authorized literature of Chrsitian Science undergoes a most rigid Inquiry and must establish good repute in the community with all that It Implies. In addition, a further requirement is made of demonstrated fitness in the actual healing ot diseases, over a con siderable period of time. Probably we have developed that It is the old question of disagreeing as to the use of words and not a . dis agreement as to ultimate fact If we determine what education Is, there will be perfect agreement that It is a prime requisite tor every calling. Webster defines education as "train ing, as an education for the bar or pulpit." If education for the bar consists of taking a course In a theo logical seminary, or for the pulpit at a law school, we have but few learned men In either profession. 80 an osteo path would hardly be expected to be a graduate of a normal school, nor did we suppose that they took kindly to the Idea that they should be re quired to take a course In a medical school, or pass an examination about drugs which they never expect to use and do not believe in. The education demanded by our critics would not only have barred Jesus from calling the fishermen to the healing work, but would have barred practically every progressive step in science and invention that was a departure from the method in vogue. Every school boy and every school girl should be taught the lesson that Tribute to Allen R. Kelly. Omaha, Oct .

But as an inti mate friend, like all who knew him well, I loved the man for his manli ness. And it is due him to say that no man with a loftier sense of Justice, a nobler nature, a sincerer considera tion for the helpless or a keener con tempt for hypocrites ever lived than Allen R. Kelly. He was out and out wnat ne was. ueueu was uoi iu mm. He was the bravest man I ever knew, and the most consistent. Thus, he had friends to whom he was intensely loyal and enemies to whom -he was uncompromising. With these quali ties and a brilliant Intellect he achieved a high place In the world, quickly overcoming the circumstances which left his political fortunes de pleted and wrecked his business at the live stock exchanges a dozen years ago. Although born near Syracuse, N. Y about fifty-four years ago, Mr. Kelly had always lived west He married Miss Hulda Lambert in South Omaha aome twenty-three years ago. He was a lover of western people and always asserted that western men easily gained success In New York City by reason of quicker, keener and more forceful tendencies.
