HOW DO YOU VOTE? In London a notable celebration is being held One that will bear watching. It is not an uproarious observation of a popular victory. No great clamor is being made. Traffic is not blockaded in any streets by the tumultuous throngs called out in en thusiastic manifestations of great rejoicings. On the contrary, the event is marked by quiet consid eration of thoughtful men and women. Not all are agreed as to the quality of the occasion, but all who observe it note its importance. It is the sixtieth anniversary of the First Inter nationale. Karl Marx was the hero of the move ment that proclaimed the ascendancy of the pro letariat. Today his name is linked with that of Nicolai Lenin. Zinoviev, writing from Mascow to the London group, boasts that now the red flag of Marxism floats over one-sixth of the globe. It took sixty years to bring this about. It will take less than sixty months, says Zinoviev, to extend the do main under the flaunting banner of communism until its triumph is complete. • • • Disguise it as you will, socialism in the end is communism. Marx was the precursor of Lenin. The palest pink is blood cousin to the deepest red, and that one contains the other. All the destructive lorces loosed by Lenin and Trotzky in Russia had been conjured up by Karl Marx, de Leon and their rssociates. It is the destruction of the “capitalis tic'’ society that is aimed at, the establishment of the commune, in which the proletariat does the dic tating. Today the Russian leaders, secure in their domi nation of that country, unhesitatingly admit their ob ject. Those who succeeded to the power of Lenin have turned back again to the points he had aban doned when he adopted his “new policy,” and are as vigorously and relentlessly asserting the autocracy of the commuye as ever the cynical Lenin thought of doing. When Marx first preacher! his socialistic doctrine 01 Germany, he found followers among the op p es cd, those who were denied their birthright. To whom the gates of opportunity were closed. Who might not aspire to political, industrial or social ad vance. Their lot was fixed by the accident of birth, and it was permanent. America offered a retreat for those who could escape from Europe, and to America they came by thousands. Carl Schurz has lately been referred to. He was but one who found in this land what had been denied to him in his fatherland. Many others might be named, hut Schurz will serve to illustrate the point. Americans possessed the right of self government. It is their right today, just as potent as ever, no matter what demagogues may say to the contrary. Through the ballot our people have work^I out great reforms that in Europe have either failed or have been secured only by revolution. When, under the Hohenzollerns, Marxianism was rising to its heights iS Germany, Americans enjoyed everything the socialists demanded except paternal ism in government and commonalty in property. * • * Russia under the soviets is the nearest the world has ever seen the principles of Karl Marx absolutely applied. Is Russia so prosperous, its people so happy, that Americans are envious and eager to imitate them? If so, the way is opened. A vote for La Follette and Wheeler is the first step. La Fol lette was a republican, Wheeler a democrat. It is very certain that neither will admit that he is a so cialist. Yet the only organized body supporting them is the socialist party. Debs, Berger, Johnson, Germer, llillquit, Villard, every out and out social ist in America is backing “Battling Bob" and his running mate. Their program is the same as that of Lenin. Nationalization of all means of production and dis tribution. Of course, this is cut up into small doses, sugar-coated, and covered with much sophistry, hut it is the same thing, no matter how it is presented. Americans, no matter what your origin or faith, are you ready to adopt the red rreed? Have you given up hope of making a success of your life? Are you ready to quit trying on your own account not only that, to prevent others from trying? If so, vote for La Follette and Wheeler, candidates of ••he class-conscious self-confessed quitters. SUNSHINE, MOONSHINE AND IDLENESS A French professor announces another wonder ful discovery. He has found how man may live with no more exertion than a plant. Through air, light and water sustenance will be obtained, by the simple process of absorption. No longer will we need to sow and reap, no longer nurture the beaHts if the field to provide beefsteak, baron or mutton chops. No energy derived from heat will be neees lary. Just breathe and walk in the sunlight, and lake an occasional drink of water. Thus mankind will be ushered into the bliss of a workless exist - anrf. The true heaven of the lazy man will be real ised through science and not through socialism Right here is where we join with Gilbert K. Phesterton for one. He recently wrote, concerning w G. Wells, that If h^, found hlm-elf in one of Mr, Wells' various I topias, he would never get out of bed. Try, If you please, to imagine an existence without work of any sort. Nothing to achieve, no end to attain. Just to rome into existence, to ab sorb nourishment from the atm*>«phere, to grow, at tain maturity, pass away, and not leave even a stump. No mark made of any sort to indicate tha' onre you hail lived. The universe no better for your presence than it is for the casual blade of glass. Ornamental only, and in that even less than the humblest flower. Happily, the French professor may not he per mitted to take such terrible vengeance on a rare that has not yet attained the limit of its pnssibili ics. Nature has wisely provided a division of labor between the animal and vegetable kingdoms. One supplements the other, and each is necessary to the other’s well being, health and happiness. Nay, even to the existence each of the other. He may be able to bring the two into one, but it will he by lowering the higher and exalting the lower. What a triumph that would he, to bring the sentient down to a junc tion with the insensate! A life without labor, an existence without an object. We want a bed in the tame room with Chesterton! FOOL KILLER MAY RETIRE. There is no substitute for safety. An earnest effort will be made to drill this fact Into the minds of Omaha people through the orga nization of a local branch of the National Safety council. Preliminary steps already have been taken, und permanency will soon be assured for the insti tution. Work will not be confined solely to the conduct of persons using the public thoroughfares and highways, although there is where most danger lies. In many other places carelessness or reckless ness results in mishaps, more or less serious to the victim and costly in the end to society. For society suffers every time any member is disabled through his own or another’s fault. Eco nomic loss due to avoidable accidents in the United States each year is enormous. When the physical suffering and other attendant circumstances are taken into consideration, the price we pay each year for accidents is stupendous. Abhorrent as war is, it is not more costly in the way of life and limb than modern industry. Even what is regarded as entirely normal social in tercourse has come to be attended by such physical danger as surpasses belief. In the United States last year 80,000 lives were lost in accidents. Of these 16,000 vvere charged to automobiles. Among the victims were 20,000 children. The total number of Americans killed in action in the World War was hut 36,816, fewer than half the number sacrificed by accident. The object of the Omaha Council of Safety, to quote its prospectus, ‘‘is to foster and create an at mosphere of safety in the community; carry on ac tivities which will reduce street, Industrial and home accidents.” To this end a campaign of education will he car tied on. Instruction will be given through schools, newspapers, in factories and other ways, to the end that all will be taught to be more careful. That is the lesson to be learned, how to avoid mishaps through taking care. Safety first, last, and all the time. We will hear more from the Omaha Council of Safety as time goes on. Its efforts should be crowned with such success that in Omaha at least the Fool Killer may go on the retired list perma nently. THIS MAY HELP SOME. A Minnesota motorist, who drove his car into a passenger train, smashing his car beyond repair, Hastened to court to sue the railroad for damages. But the railroad filed a counter suit for damages to its baggage coach, and it was the railroad that se cured judgment. The crossing is there, the warning signs are there, the bell rings and the whistle toots. The lo comotive can not stop for all the crossings, and the auto driver can, and should. Yet crossing fatalities increase. Perhaps the Minnesota precedent will have a tendency to decrease them. Auto drivers are more likely to exercise caution at the crossings when they discover that instead of collecting dam age* from The railroad corporation they are very likely to he called upon to pay damages to the rail road corporation. If the brains of the careless auto drivers can not he impressed, perhaps a few twinges of the pocketbook nerve will have a salutory effect. Advocates of government ownership of railroads might find something of interest in the fact that the only part of the Canadian National Railways system that paid a net operating revenue in June was the Grand Trunk Western lines in the United States. Henry Ford says that alcohol produced from potatoes will eventually replace gasoline as fuel. This opens up a vista of governors of a certain kind claiming that through their efforts the alcoholic con tent of spuds was greatly increased. Mr. McAdoo has contributed J500 to the demo cratic national committee, the contribution having been properly and thoroughly deodorized, of course. Times are so gosh-awful hard in the middle west that there actually isn't room on the picnic grounds to park the automobiles of the visitors. It is claimed that 12,000 people paid to hear I.a Follctte speak in New York. Yet New Yorkers love to talk about “hicks" from the west. The Springfield Republican says a mouthful when it declares that what the country needs is a five-cent. street car ride. Right now is a good time to remember that Nebraska apples are the best apples in the world. O!' Bill White knows mighty well what's the matter with Kansas. He isn't governor. Those tunnels are not the first underground things discovered at Washington. A Nebraska apple a day will keep quite n con siderable amount of “blues" away.

FRANK J. CARET. Province of the Supreme Court. Des Moines, la—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: TVIth respect to the proposed limitation on the pre rogative of the federal supreme rourt advocated hy Candidate l.a Kollelte, permit me to make a few suggestions Section 4 of article xiv of the con stitution contains this provision: “Neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any dels or obligation incurred in aid of In surrection or rebellion agalnat the United States " As an acid test, let It be supposed that congress should pass a law pm vlding for the payment of rebel ohll gallons and that th# supreme rourt should declare that law invalid and that congress, nevertheless, should re enact it Under Candidate Ia Kol lette's theory, even ha would not have the hardihood to Insist that a claimant could he heard in any court to recover on a rebel obligation In hla favor. Why? Because the con stltution la the embodiment of the paramount law. Congress, by the law supposed, would be undertaking t.-i nullify a provision of the constItu tlon by Its legislation. The province of the supreme court is simply to dr clare whether or not the rongres slonal law conflicts with tha conatltu tlon, and. If It so And*. It declares the legislation a mere nullity. This Is all the supreme rourt has ever assumed Jurisdiction to do. It has never attempted legislation. It may be true that, as .fudge Holmes Indicated, other Judges have been In flilenced hy economic bias, never!hr lesa. the only question undertaken to he derided was whether or not con a> It nt Inna! provision* were thereby nullified. The liability to Influence hy the bias of one's Judgment Is Ulus Haled In the case of Candidate l,i Kollelte, whose long-continued mem bershlp of congress hns biased him In favor of that body.
