Central FaoSfio Again. The Wnll Street Journal, through an artlclo that boars oannarks of In spiration, lays the groundwork in the form of a special plea for tho govern ment to drop all further action to ward completo unmorgcr of tho Union Pacific-Southern Pacific com bination and lot the lattor keep un disturbed possession of tho Central Pacific which tho court decree or dered unhitched. The reasoning ad vancod is that tho Contral and South ern Pacific nro not, in fact, parallel or competing roads except in poten tiality, and that independent owner ship would disturb tho existing satis factory arrangements for exchange of business. More to the point, It is "ill advised," becauso "there is tho intorost of tho bondholders in Cen tral Pacific to bo considered." Looking backward, this is really extraordinary, for tho Union Pacific and Central Pacific aro still less par allel and competing roads than tho Central Pacific and Southern Pacific, and tho interests of bondholders wore as much at stako In the original un- morger, yet no reorganization plan contemplating continued Juncturo ot tho two former lines could securo government and Judicial sanction. It would seem now as if the whole sorles of objections and obstructions to tho retention of tho Contral Pa cific by tho Union Pacific to make tho through transcontinental highway intended when thoso roads wore or iginally chartered by congress wero but part of a deep-laid plot to restore tho Central to tho Southern Pacific and thus nullify this most important part of tho tinmergor proceedings. International Purity Congress. Many nations will send delegates to Minneapolis In Novombor to attend tho seventh International Congress of tho World's Purity Federation and each state In this union is expected to bq represented. This congress Is sig nificant of tho earnest purposo and swoop of the movoment against pub lic vico, In which tromendous forces aro combined, forces ot brain, heart and monoy which, according to tho claims of exponents, aro producing results. While not to be expected to asBumo anything liko final form for a long Umo, tho movoment has to do with tho oldest civic and social prob lorn, far too old and far too hard, complicated and perplexing to yield to speedy solution. Just what will constitute ultlmato success in achieving social purity Is difficult to Bay, but ono thing scorns certain, that botweon public and por- sonal purity an intimate relation must exist. And tho fostering and strengthening of tho individual factor dopends largoly upon tho homo. So, after all, thii and kindrod roforms brings us, or should bring us, back to tho family and tho homo designed In tho beginning as tho common denom inator for all improvement of tho morals of socloty. The Canal and the Orient. Tho United States would got a good deal moro out of tbo millions Invested In tho Panama canal at tho outsot if it wero bettor proparod to copo with other nations for tho commerce ot tho orient. It la nnomalous that while bending our great energies in the building of this short-cut across tho wators, wo negloctod an indis pensable factor in tho success ot tho enterprise tho intensive study of the needs and domandB ot tho people of the east. Of course, in time wo shall do this and bo quito equal to tho competition in European nations, but in the meantime we may lose heavily by our neglect. The prlmo object ot tho canal Is promotion of commerce; Its western cutlet will beconio tho front door to the far cast and when It is thrown open our ships, which should bo far In the lead, will find themselves be hind the loading powers of Europe. A docado or so ago Mr. Hill and Mr. Harrlman built two gigantic steamers apiece and set them afloat upon the Pacific as tho nucleus ot a morcbant marine to control oriental trade upon that ocean. The remains ot a couplo of these great ships Ho over yonder In the harbor of Yokohama awaiting removal as old Iron. Strange, ludoed, that the kings of domestic commerce, masters ot land transportation, havo been restrained from similar con quests ot the sea. Unfortunately, as a whole, our people have not yet waked up to the vital Importance ot commanding our share ot the sea traffic. The experience of a popular uprls Ing to pay tribute to Mayor Qaynor after his death Is by no means a novel one nor confined to New York.

The inheritance tax paid by the Morgan estate indicates a total valua tion of not less than 165,000.000, which Is at least ono-tenth ot what Mr. Morgan waa generally supposed to be worth.

As a lecturer on his experiences, Archi bald Forbes was very popular, and he was fond of recounting an experience of his debut In that capacity at Leven, Fife shire. With a thumping heart, the r.ew lecturer appeared at the ball door shoitly before the starting time, 8 o'clock, and not wishing to push through a, street audience on his way to the platform, he asked the hallkeeper to conduct him to a side door. "To ncedna mind," replied that func tionary, not unkindly, "there's no crood." When Forbes entered the halt he had to admit that the keeper was quite correct There was not a single sout present. After a bit, however, a man strolled in and calmly proceeded to chooso a seat it seems he was a commercial traveler, putting up at the place for tho night. his hands. Nobody else coming.

Neb., Sept 26.-To the Editor of The Bee: I have read the re cent nrtlcles.In The Bee about the North Bend bridge with great Interest I lived In Morse Bluff, In Saunders county, for over twenty years. Morse Bluff la a small village of about M0 Inhabitants and Is situated almost duo ftouth of North Bend, Just across the Platte river. I do not know who Is contributing the arti cles about tho North Bend bridge In The Bee and do not care to enter Into any controversy as to the construction of the high and dry North Bend bridge. How ever, It Is a well known fact by every one who ever saw the site where the new bridge Is being built that the main channel ot the Platte river has been on the north side of the river bed for ao many years that man's mind runneth not to the contrary. The statements that the main channel had been on the south side for fifteen years and had suddenly changed to the north side, Just recently, cannot be true. Some time ago I was taking a brief summer vacation at Morso Bluff under tho parental roof and was Invited by a few friends to go fishing on the Platte. The party of fishermen proceeded to a point about a mile west of tho new bridge. Thero we found a large aggre gation of farmers who had abandoned their hay stackers and pitchforks and were In great rage. They had Just dls covered that the North Benders, as they supposed, had built a big dam In the Platte river, only about fifty feot from the south bank. And upon closer Inspec tion they even found out that the per petrators had the audacity to stretch wires from the dam and to stako them on their hay lands In order that the dam might be made stronger to resist the mighty channel and to help flood the water over the hay lands of these farm ers. Some wanted to secure a manda tory Injunction requiring the dam to be removed; most of them, however, seemed to think that the best thing to do would be to wait untlt the river has cut away their lands and then get damages equal to double the value of the land. A meet ing was held at night In the city hall at Morse Bluff, an organization waa formed and plans laid for future legal battles. The farmers do not as yet know which way to level their batteries, but hop to find out soon who built the dam. They were told through the press recently by the Dodge county people that Dodge county was not afraid of damage suits, as Stupp Bros, aro under bond to protect them. The undertaking, however, la so great and dangerous that Stupp Bros, will undoubtedly rather choose to stand on law suit for damages than adhere to their present theory that this changing the main channel of the Platte Is an act of God. The fact of tho matter seems to be that Stupp Bros, are between tw6 fires. North Bend would be greatly benefited by the construction of the half-mile fill on the north side across the main chan nel of tho Platte, since the spring over flows would all be turned Into Saunders county onto the lands of the riparian owners, and North Bend people would not need to worry about tho floods any more. If the state department would make a close investigation ot all the facts it would probably recommend that a brldsn be built across the whole river and would refuse to aid Dodge county in Its drain age scheme. p. h. MIZERA. And Still They Come. OMAHA, sept 23,-To tho Editor of The Bee: Many articles have been writ ten In regard to "Omaha's clean streets," but why not say something of the com mlssloner himself? I think the street and alley department of thisadmlnlstration has at its head one of the nost capable and efficient men who fias ever been In charge. The city Is to be congratulated on hav ing Mr, Kugel In a position where he has proven his especial fitness by the splen did condition of the thoroughfares during his term of office. Every Inducement should be given men of his type to continue In the good work. The same can be said of Mr. Hummel, the commissioner of parks and boule vards. A. D. RODOERS, 1917 Cass St. Muffled Knocks When a man 1s wrong he Is the lost person to find It out. A deaf man may miss a lot of good music, but he also dodges a lot of hot air. There are all sor of liars in tho world. Including the man who tells you that he like to drink olive oil. The tailor-made girl attrocta all the ad miration on the street but tho home made girl cops out all tho husbands. Adam and Eve may' have had their scrap. But Eve never had a chanca to ball Adam out for going to bed and leav ing the hall light burning all night A girt wouldn't miss her class at the gym for anything1 because she knows that stuff Uke sweeping floors and making beds Isn't the proper kind ot exercise. Another reason for the high cost of liv ing is that we spend too much money for sugar in trying to make gooseberries and cranberries taste like something to eat When a man ha four or five children and they are glad to see him when ha get home, his divorce caB never occu pies any space in the court record column of a newspaper. Every man find in his wife a distinc tive, something that he never finds In an other woman. Other women may attract, but they can't hold. They may charm by contrast or beauty of face and figure, and a toot man may be daxxled by costly rai ment and rare perfumes. But intimacy breeds contempt, and the more he see ot other no men the more he appreciates the good old girl who is always waiting for him when he gets home. Cincinnati En QUlrer. Raay Money.
