A Kational Purpose.
Former Senator Beveridge said In
his address to onr Omaha business
men that what the United States
needs and has failed to do is to de
velop a national purpose to the
extent Germany , has done, aa
Ideal that looks beyond individual
selfishness to the larger good of all.
He compared ns individually with
Germany and attributed our short
coming to the "over-developed idea
of liberty until It is very near to
license and the idea of slap-dash in
dividualism Instead of a sense of
duty." "Every German,' be added,
"works hard for himself, but more
for the whole German people."
Every thoughtful person knows
that Senator Beveiidge has struck
close borne In that trenchant arraign
ment. And every thoughtful person.
especially the one most prone to
complain of the Inequalities of our
Industrial system with a power of
correcting the faults, should search
himself to see If he shoulders any of
the responsibility for such a condi
tion. It Is all a mistake to say that
competition to thing of the past In
this country. Competition is the
most animate aspect of our national
life. It Is fiercely alive. We pursue
with reckless abandon the chase for
Individual aggrandizement, leaving
our neighbors to look out as best
they can for themselves.
Less ot such gross selfishness and
more ot a co-operative effort, less of
the sordid passion limited by the
meager bounds ot personal gain and
more of the broad, anxious concern
for collective prosperity to needed
to achieve a national purpose wor
thy ot America and Americans. In
theory we make laws for the whole
people and too often apply them
only to the other fellow,' Offr
economics are not on straight, but
resemble a cocked hat In their tilt
Te correct conditions, men with a
patriotic concern for the nation, with
a decent conception of a national
purpose, must do their part irre
spective of laws and legal mandates
or penalties.

terribly Distressed.
Pursuing Its customary tactics, the
local democratic organ professes to
be terribly distressed over the course
of The Bee and ita editor with refer
ence to republican politics, and as
usual It sets up one straw man after
another In order to knock them
dowa. In one sentence It describes
the editor of The Bee as the head of
the Taft "machine," an Irreconcilable
and uncompromising reactionary,
and In another pictures him aa turn
ing a somersault Into the Insurgent
camp. In one breath It charges the
editor ot The Bee with being re
sponsible for Colonel Yelser's letter-writing
activity, which got Ita
original Inspiration right In the
World-Herald office, and In another
declares that Yelser bss been but the
tool used by Oovernor Aldrich. The
only thing that stands out plain to
that the steadfast support given by
The Bee to President Taft and its ex
posurs of democratic deception con
stitute a thorn In the aide of the
democrats, who are voiced by the
World-Herald and who. In their In
terne desire for democratic suceeaa,
would rather have the republicans

Why Our People Art Skeptical.
Much as they would like to have
the project consummated, the people
of Omaha hav so many times hsd
their bones raised by announcement
that the Platte river power canal
was fully financed and about to be
built that they are naturally skep
tical on the subject That there Is
water enough and fall enough in the
rivers to the west of us to feed a
large power installation to fully at
tested, and the engineering and me
chanical problems Involved in build
ing the canal and la generating,
transforming and transmitting the
electric current can be worked out.
The real question has been and Is the
financial one how much money
would be required to build the eaaal
and develop the power what would
be the fixed charge and cost of
operation, and, finally, what would
be the possible revenue? tTp to the
present the assurance of profit, com
pared with risk, ha not been suffi
ciently tempting to capitalists and In
vestors. That explains why ' most
folks hereabout apply the rule ot
"seeing to believing" to tbls power
canal project. We are all ready to
booat, provided only something
tangible and feasible to presented,
but not disposed to waste time on
any mere speculative schemes.
