Eastern coal dealers worked the scare three weeks before the Omaha brethren. However, though shade behind In speed, our reach meas ures up to the scare standard. No one can blame the school teachers for asking for a salary boost. What must bother the school board, however, is: "How pay higher salaries without more money?" . While five more National Guard regiments are ordered home from the Mexican border, Nebraska is not yet In the list. Isn't their some influence that can get the Nebraska boys home for Christmas?

Ttitnew order accords with November's verdict, i Specialists In the car shortage disease agree In recommending the heroic' treatment of the pocketbook touch. Long ago the science of mo tion demonstrated that pressure exerted on the purse invariably started something. It is semi-officially announced that those mem bers of the diplomatic corps who have failed to fill the bill are to make way for more promising mate rial after the 4th of March. Remember how be fore election the Intimation that some of the diplomata had fallen short of the requirements was indignantly repelled? ' - The enterprise and energy of the Prettiest Mile section emphasizes the . value of co-oper tion in residential districts. Home surroundings worked out on attractive plans bespeak the char acter of th owners. The joy of living is en hanced and increased property values more than cover the cost, The example may be followed with profit wherever the right spirit prevails. , People and Events Why did New York whoop uo things for Hughes? Not because he is a native son. Oh, no. mil suiier says it is his victory and vindica. tion. Seek no further. Bill did it. Oscar D. McDonald, prosecuting attorney of St Joe, Mo., awaiting trial on an Indictment of murdering his wife, tost out in his campaign for re-election, nis trial uegins next uonaay. One of the Walt street netting plungers,- Ed ward L. Dohemy, is said to have pulled $5,000,000 on Wilson. Dohemy is a presidential elector from California, and has a steadily-growing wad of money, which just oozed out of his oil wells He didn t need the sporting coin, but dotes on wall street wool. ; An organized movement is under way to sup press cigaret smoking in the public achools of Chicago. Large numbers of pupils are said to nave contracted tne naoit. A branch ot the And- fiaarar laaoita will ha aatahltsha in ali i.hnnt with a captain and team of ten pupils, charged wiiii uia ouijr ui cJttcrniinaiing tne paper pipes. Forty-two hundred policemen, 1,000 women and 6,000 men stood around the polls in Greater New York, maintaining order and telling the voters how to do the right thing. The women folks naturally drew the bulk of the business, for. in addition to their customary null, thrv acrvarf "coffee and sandwiches on silver trays to the nungry ana mirsty sovereigns. The single-tax amendment to the California constitution was hammered bv the voters aa hard as the twin4ry amendments. The initiation peti tion, as well as the campaign, was financed by ; the widow of Joseph Fefs of Philadelphia, who is prosecuting her late husband's work as a single t croparandist with anfUffEinrr zeal. Mrs. Fall , . to caumlisli single tax colony in Palestine. " He Fought a Good Fight " . Now that there is no longer any question pf doubtful states changing the result in the elec toral college and President Wilson's re-election is assured, the verdict must still be that Mr, Hughes fought a good, fight. The question is not whether the candidate or his campaign managers made avoidable mistakes for mistakes are al ways made nor even whether the victory should have been his, but whether anyone els who was within the range of possibilities st the time Mr. Hughes was nominated could have done better or even as .well. The task which confronted the Chicago con vention was to select a standard-bearer who offered the best guarantee of reuniting the two elements which had split four years before and without whose reunion defeat was foredoomed. That task, as we now know, was more difficult than anyone then thought arid the toss of the deciding electoral votes of states like Ohio and Kansas and California is plainly due to failure to weld together again the .forces: that had in 1912, become more antagonistic and hostile to one another than to their common enemy, the democratic party. ,- ' But who else than Mr. Hughes could have succeeded to the extent that he succeeded? Could Roosevelt, who was the alternative offered by th progressives? That is at least open to question. Could Cummins, or Weeks, or Root, or Fairbanks, or Burton, of La Follette, whose names were the only others commanding a modi cum of following among the delegates? It seems hardly open to argument that any one of them, under , then existing circumstances, could have commanded the cordial support of both regulars snd former bull moosers in the numbers to which they rallied to Hughes. ' ' When we look back, Mr. Hughes has a really wonderful achievement to his credit for being the instrumentality of reinstating the great his toric republican party the party of nationalism, of constructive progress, of undivided American ismto its former position of supremacy. . : Belgium Appeals for Intervention. The direct appeal from Belgium to the United States for aid in thwarting a German plan opens another and even deeper phase of the diplomatic situation connected with the war. German military-authorities are frankly enforcing tabor of Belgians, have deported the able-bodied men from certain localities and are using them in Ger many.: This course Is supported by the state ment that otherwise the Belgians are. idle, are chargea on charity, and consequently are dete riorating. , To give them, steady and useful em ployment will not only assist in solving the problem of their support, but will aid in restoring them to a condition of self-respect and maintain them in decency until they can be properly placed in established society. .' Against this the Belgians urge they are forced into labor of benefit to an enemy, that the work: the Germans require it the production of muni tions, which it tantamount to forcing the pris oners to fight against their own country. This is a roundabout way, they insist of doing some thing contrary to modern usages of war, and forbidden by agreement International conven tions, however, have been of little service in the present conflict, and will find about as much grace In this as in other emergencies that have arisen. - What our government will do is not indicated, but it haa instructed the charge at Berlin to rep resent to Von Bethmann-Hollweg that Germany'a course in this "can not but have an unfortunate effect on neutral opinion," something for. which ail the belligerents have so far exhibited a lofty disregard. ' Notes may be exchanged, but in the meantime the Belgians will continue to work in the German quarries and cement factories. 1 Art and tha National Life. Fragments of Colonel Roosevelt's address on "Nationalism in Art and Literature" indicate that his deep-set Americanism haa not been tinctured by any Influence of foreign culture. He is just aa ambitious for the home product In art and literature at in industry or politics and demands a devotion from hit country to ttrictly national ideals her as in everything else. While he gives his criticism a quality mare corrosive, perhaps, than others who have labored to the end he teekt, the colonel voicet sentiments that are really held by the better friends of all that is good in AmerK canism. It it too much to expect that we should have developed' by thlt time a completly. rounded art of our own, but wt hart the beginnings. Out writers have won a placet among the world's great; tome of our painters and sculptors ar already enshrined among the immortals; Ameri can music" is known abroad, and a hearing has been had for our dramatists, although we have as yet given to the world no truly great play. Our national life, given over for the great part to bringing waste placet of nature under eubjuga- tion, to building up citiet in the wilderness, to wresting from forest and mine the things needed by man in hia material growth, has expanded to some degree along the softer lines of art, and our people have responded in respectful and even liberal admiration if not with the fuller appreciation that comes from understanding. It is, perhaps, because we have followed the colonel's order of things, and have developed strength, courage and Justice first that we are lagging in other ways; yet even this impetuous advocate of things to be done, whose impatience bursts forth in termagant speech at times, must know thst the real fiber of Americanism lies much too deep and it far too ttrongly knit to be weakened by "servility" in art and that America will lose little by not hurrying on to something that must come slowly if it is to be worthy when achieved, j The Belgians argue that their employment in non-war industries in Germany, by releasing for military service German workmen otherwise needed for these jobs, amounts to making them 'light against their own countrymen. On the same theory, workmen in neutral countries, em ployed in making supplies for the warring nations, are likewise engaged in the conflict to the taitie extent that that they have released others for military service. , That is an argument that goes in a circle with no end. If the mistakea made in locating the Federal Reserve banks sr to be corrected, aa the Chicago Journal is advocating, Omaha thould have the tnk wnicn Kansas city got away from us through its superior political pull. But Omaha wilt not get anything without going after it And if it la worth going after,, It is worth going after right.'' , v.v. '' Some of bur testy critics say The Tribune is a poor loser, thereby revealing an amusing notion of what they were doing November 7. That day was not made notable by a horse race, a prize fight, a foot ball game or a billiard match. The election was not a sporting event, except to some of the bettors who did not care who won so long as they did not lose." "The poor loser" -is s convention, snd there are many amiably conventional souls who, if they get hold of a phrase, think that they have arrived by thought at a sound conclusion. Thought enters their habit of life about as much as it does a parrot's conversation. ' Frank Chance used to say that he did not want any good losera on his bail team. Good losers are poor fighters. Professional base ball is played by men who want to win n tney are to have any chance of winning. , Chance knew if bia players were reconciled to losing they had lost before they began to play. Even in snorts, in which nothing is involved except money or prestige, or both, a good loser has his limitations, the tighter wno wanted to kiss the man who had nut him out and have him to dinner the next evening would not go far in the esteem of men who want to see all the tight there is in a man. ' ,; A loser must take his medicine, but he does not have to pretend that he likes it Certain sports are taken out of the real intensive struggle of life which sports generally represent. .They present a chivalrously, scientific aspect. Two tennis players, with their egotism subdued and their skill at its utmost try eacn other s game, ine loser is a Kood'ldser. What was sought waa an ascertainment of the relation of one man to the other. The loser would prefer that the result was different, but he accepts it without a grouch. He wants to know where he stands. ; ; , 1 The chivalry of sports has grown up about games such as field games, tennis, golf and pos sibly polo and yachting. But what has an election to do with a sporting event? It is not a fierce competition of muscles nor a chivalrous competition in skilL It is s submission of opinion to the electorate. The counting of the votet does not change the issues. It gives them merely a temporary pent. . One camnaiEn starts the moment another has ended, if there be any sincere conviction behind tne opinions, it tnere were no sincere conviction, then the advocates of certain policies were bunk in e the neoole for camDaian results. If an indi vidual could meet the defeat of his ideas with the contented remark that after all everything was well, then he had no business to have tse ideas. He never really had them. ' The stability of the republic, of any demoj cratic form of government, rests upon the willing ness of the losing side to accept defeat. Certain forms are provided for contention and they Con trol. But to profess contentment when a violent campaign hat come out all wroing would be to confess that there was no excuse for the violence, that nothing really mattered after all, that things would go along one way just aa well as another, and that an election was only a sporting event intended to discover which side could cozzen the people most successfully. ' ' . The Tribune is as much for a nationalistic awakening of the American people now as it was betore the election, and if a good loser has to change his convictions, then The Tribune is the worst loser ever caught in defeat , ., i ' We were for nationalism, preparedness, com pulsory military service, restoration of order is Mexico, for the dignity and security of American life, for measures to hold the respect of powerful nations, for measures to intensify the importance of being an American citizen, for measures to make American life morally sound and economi cally secure. We are for these policies now, intend to re main for them, and intend to continue talking about them. ' - .. .

Omaha. Nov. 17. To the Editor of The Bee: After reading Mr. Mtckle'e recent letter regarding the cost of liv ing, I cannot refrain from replying to same. His letter should be entitle "The Cost of 'Low Living" " and If his rec ommendation should be followed by any considerable number of working nien, he would very soon: find com petition for his 880 per month )ot. He would "bust," the sugar trust by not using their product; likewise, the potato and beef trust and It naturally follows that a reduction In their out put by reason of a curtailed demand would mean a reduction in their work ing force; hence mora men would be seeking employment and Mr. Mickle's job would soon be In Jeopardy. I no tice he failed to include one Impor tant Item In his list; namely, salt I suppose he would "bust" the salt trust by not using their product doubtless eating his beans and oatmeal without the use of salt His home life seems to be clearly expressed in the statement that hia oldest daughter has left home now that she is earning her own living, a course the rest of his children will doubtless pursue as soon as they reach the proper age and, ahould hia wife survive, I will venture to say there will be no. family reunion until the chil dren gather at their father's last rest ing place1 and then how curious they will be to nno out tne extent or me bank' account he seems so eager to create now at their expense. His let ter suggests another reason for his ability to save. He states, "I hap pened to find a copy of The Bee three or four days old containing the article on the cost of living." From this it would seem that he does not spend any money for newspapers, but de pends on others to furnish them free of charge, I doubt -if Omaha contains another cltixen with such ideals as Mr. Mickle expressed, and I would re gret to learn that we had any other citizens of that type. .

What do they eat on tbelr day-old bread? Where can you buy day-old bread for 825 a dozen loaves? How does he cook his cornmeal? How much does he pay tor that? What do they eat on their oatmeal ? Of course, we can't all find a grocer who has oatmeal for sale with weevils In It How. does he cut the pound of cheese to that he can get seven pieces out of it? Long ways or erossways?

To th Editor of The Bee: Now that the smoke of the battle which arose from the heat of the recent political conflict has faded away and the enlightened verdict of the American people has been rendered you win pardon me if i should com ment upon some or ine trtcKs ana ae vicee resorted to In order to prejudioe the minds of the voters before the rendition of that Judgment Under our statute tampering with a Jury la a criminal offense, but through the tolerance of the people tampering with the mind ot the voter goes unpun ished. Until I saw many sample bal lots Issued by a few Omaha blggots at the recent election I had consoled myself with the happy thought that the spirit of Intolerance which In the early '80s spread Its blight over this community had been forever crushed by the verdict of broad-minded Prot estants, which at that time was ren dered against it but I found that it was resurrected from a grave where it was dead, burled, damned and deiiv ered. I am proud of thr position taken by Franklin A. Shotwell on this sub ject knowing him to list Protestant in religion, and the descendant of a family who helped to frame a consti tution for this nation that made it Dossible for every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. I regret deeply the fact that this crowd of blggots ar round mostly in the republican party in this county. I am a- Roman Catholic and a republi can, and I am at a loss to know what that grand old party ever did to tnem that they labor so sealously to seek its ruin. I do not know what name they masqueraded under, but do know what name I would give them were I given that privilege, but will say to them Individually and oolleotlvely that the republican party Is not a dark lantern party, it waa not born In ig norance nor nurtured in bigotry. It is a party broad of vision, tolerant and free from fanaticism, and that Nebraska. soil Is too fertile on which 't Experienced Workmanship. Omaha. Nov. 17 To tha Editor ot The Bee: I note In your lasue of Thursday that employers in the builds ing trades. have come to a realization tnat ail jaoor requires bkiu, ana the workman who is steadily em ployed at one particular sort of task is continually finding ways to mak his work mere congenial ana conse quently adding to his own efficiency and becoming more profitable to his employer. The workman who is thoroughly acquainted with th re quiramenta of his position needs no boss to direct him; he knows how his work ought to be done and does it in the easiest and most expeditious man ner If given the opportunity. A good workman is handicapped by having an officious or nagging boss around. It la an economic waste for an em ployer to refuse experienced work men the compensation- to wnicn they are plainly entitled, and put In their places workmen who are in no way acquainted with 'the work re quired of them. Changing forces usu ally entails financial loss. The strike of the building trades laborers some time ago tor better con ditions seemingly proved futile, and many of the strikers, skilled in their Hnss ssnamia nrim naallahd tA laMsarst that siltv Now one of the building contractors re publicly Intimates he would be glad iff . employ those men at increased pay if he could get them. It would have been better for all concerned, including the public, had the employers done their real thinking previous to the strike rather than after. J. COPENHARVE. Women and Emotional Voting.

To the Editor of The Bee: I do not write to send lines of icondolence to Colonel Frank Agnew, I who mourneth be cause his counsel was not heeded when he declared that the women were too emotional to be' candid vot-' era and who can now point to the, fact that the women voted for Wilson be cause of the cry, "He kept us out of war." it Is apparent that the gen tleman Is doubly displeased with tha women because they did not vote as he did. - There la one argument for female suffrage; 'tis this: it is right for our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters who are as greatly interested in the affairs of the government, the well be ing of the young and the good of so ciety as are the fathers, brothers, hus bands and sons and any question as to with which party they will vote la a question out of place in a government by, for and of the people. - - The emotion worked up by the cry that "he kept us out of war" might have been merely emotional had It not been for Candidate Hughes and Candidate Roosevelt who in .thel speeches denounced the steps In plomacy taken by the present admin istration ana emphasized tne words: "If I had been president." . If the women in any state in the union, voted for Mr. Wilson hoping that peace and not war would be the outcome then the voting la far more commendable than being voted for by party bosses. J. H.
