Changing the Tactics. f
Notwithstanding hits success In
orclng tho tariff bill through con
gress by uso of tho party whip, Pres
ident Wilson seems to recognlzo the
futility of trying to repeat tho per
formance with the currency bill, and
Is, therefore changing tho tactics.
According to rcliablo Washington ad
vices, ho Is now bending his efforts
toward enlisting a co-operative inter
est among republican sonators and
proclaiming that the measure Is to bo
a piece of nonpartisan legislation, In
the final shaping of which repub
licans, as well as democrats, are to
havo a hand.
This is practical confession that,
whllo the tariff load was safely
landed by the presidential pull, It was
dono Only by straining to the utmost
limit, and that It would be dangerous
to subject tho machinery so soon
again to Uio same strain.
For tho country at large this situ
ation is a good thing, because it
means that whatever currency legis
lation Is finally adopted will bo on
broader lines than that coming within
tho scopo of a more nonpartisan view
point. As n matter of fact, it would
iavo been much bottor If tho tariff
had been constructed on a similar
plan instead of in seerot conference
by democratic leadore bent chiefly
upon accumulating political capital.
Tho president has plainly come to
tho conclusion that caucus-driven and
patronage-bought pnrty measures do
not command the popular applause
they are oxpocted to oftclto.
October The Turning Point.
October Is a sort of vcstlbulo
through which wo pass from the mild
to tho sovcro season. Wo clean off
our shoes at the door, for the autumn
housoclcanlng has Just been done,
pass In nnd take our Place by tho
tiro. Tho grass, withered by the
first roal frost, is covered with thick
layers of scattered leaves; trees are
getting bare. About the house, as
well as Uio grounds, characteristic
changes appear. Screens are dis
placed by- storm windows and doors,
collars filled If they are ever going
to bo-wlth storable food supplies
coal bins aro occupied, furnaces and
grates and stoves aro requisitioned.
Tho cosy corner, long abandoned for
tho porch, onco moro is sought for
tho solaco of study and contempla
tion, Folks put off the "thin, gauzy
ones" and put on the "heavies" the
climax that makes you fully know
that the summer is gone. September
ometlmes falls to convince you, as
for Instance, It did this year, But
now as yeu pass the meridian of Oc
tober, you know Jack Frost is here,
Of course, October may tit baek,
after getting all arrangements made
for winter, and take Its eaae for a
few days, lolling in the lay lap of
Indian summerbut that Is only to
get a better start,
Mrs. Fankhurst Comes In.
Tho president scorns to have moved
along the linos of least resistance In
raising tho embargo and admitting
Mrs. Pankhurat, He bases his action
on-a "flexible" interpretation of tho
law undor which tho British suffrag-
gotte leader was being detained at
Ellis island, Perhaps tho case of
Castro, similarly detained and later
admitted under a compulsory court
ordor defining his statUB, may havo
had its influenco on tho prosldent,
despite his expressed view that it is
merely1 a matter of policy.
Truth Is Mrs. Pankhurst Ib harm
less on this side of the Atlantic. Hor
pledge to observe our laws and re
frain from Inciting" or committing
violence while here is not at all
necessary, ' She has' boon here beforo
and demeaned horsolf with becoming
conduct, gracious, in tact, so much
so a to endear 'herself to many who
rosily did not accept her theories. It
must be remembered, also, that hot
mission seems solely one of inspira
tion for tho good of the commissary
department, coupled with a frank ad
mission that she needs the money and
will return as soon as she collects it
Johnny Bull, Vtth his aching' head
still swathed in bandages, may not
appreciates the president's willing
ness to let her in to gather fresh
munitions of war, but a man who
had been hit with a brick might not
bo oxpectod to view the case impar
tially. In the meantime the presi
dent's stock ought to rise in those
tlvo states where women vote.
Caleb Powers says he Is too poor
to stay in politics, hence will retire
at the end of his present torm In tho
house. Or is it a caso of being bo
poor that none of bis colleagues will
do him honor? Social ostracism is
said to bo the real reason for Powers'
contemplated retirement, and, if true,
only goes to show tho powerful im
pact of such a blight, whether Powers
descrvca It or not. '

BhMton Clipper: Omaha Is experiencing

the people who would enforce th5 S o'clock

of the Nebraska metropolis.
Columbus Telegraml At the late Ak
Bar-Ben ball In Omaha they danced the
tango with alt the variations, and some
of the prudish ones are entering a pro
test arAJn.it the Immoral actions of the
dancers, t am not competent to decide
between doing tha tango decently and
doing It otherwise. But Indeed some of it
must hare been done otherwise at the
AkSarBen ball, because even some, peo
ple realdlhg In lawless Omaha have de
clared against a repetition of the perform
ance. For my own part I can see nothing
wrong with the taago, provided it Is
danced by men and women for the sole
purpose of displaying grace In their
movements to the music. Any sort of a
dance may be Immodest and Immoral
when danced by that kind of people, so
with kissing games played by people who
are opposed to danclmr. Those Omaha
critic of the manner In which Omaha
men and women did the tango at the Ak-
Sar-Ben ball should remember that If
there waa any Immoral and immodest
doing of the tango at that ball It waa
done by that kind of peopK My own pri
vate reports of the Ak-Sar-Ben ball show
that most of the dancers wore not that
kind. I regret that the Omaha critics are
so severe upon Omaha society that Sense
of Justice Impels outsiders to run to the
rescue of the Imperiled morals of the
metropolis.
Blair Democrat: The fact that the

Beatrice Express: Mayor Jim Dahlman
of Omaha and his democratic friends have
been lost sight of during the controversy
over the dance indulged In at the recent
Ak-Sar-Bcn ball, and this Is not accord

things, so he has hired a batch of wild

Intricacies of Aaral Credits.
YORK, Neb., Oct .-To the Editor of
The Bee: I see that we are to have
another "cure all" in the shape of "farm
credits' which may be so safeguarded
as to be a real help to lots of people.
But with the best of guards It win give
more aid to the man with means than to
the man with none, so the fellow that
need It the worst can not get It, and
they can not tlx it so he can and stilt
make the government safe, whloh must
bo dono or It will fall, too, Let me give
an Illustration.
About twenty years ago there waa a
remedy offered for the farmer called
tho "Sub-Treasury plan," which waa that
the "government should loan the money
to tho farmers at a rater not to exceed
3 per cent per annum" on '-good first
mortgage realty security." Now you see
tha fellow that could qualify for the
loan waa not the one In most need of It,
for the man with land clear of debt could
borrow this money and buy out his neigh
bor or loan him the money at a high In
terest and repeat the dose often.
At that time there waa a man tn Ne
braska running for office on that very
Plan, while ho was at the same time
loaning money to his neighbor for St
to 8 per cent en chattel short time loan.
And when he thought that sub scheme
was going to win, ha went and borrowed
money of his father and bought another
farm and then told one of hla debtors
that by next year I can let you have all
tha monoy you want aa I am going to
borrow the full limit on my three farms.
Whereupon his friend said: "I guess I
will borrow some of that cheap
money myself Instead of paying you this
high Interest." and then Mr. A. smiled
and said! ''Tod have not got the sqcurlty
to give Uncle Sam and he does not take
chattels."
The government Is now trying to give
frso homes to those that need them. A
man told mo lately that when he went to
file on his claim this fall there was a
man In the office at the same time tq
file, and when the question was put to
lilm, "Have you now more than so much
landT" he said. "Jes, sir." "Then you
cannot filo on land here." Bo he Just
went and deeded all ..but a little of his
land to hi wife and came back and tiled.
Now his wife waa nt home, J ,000 miles
away, and did not know anything of It
And the deed was In his pocket and not
recorded when h filed. Now did he yet
hava that land or not. or was he any
more In need .of. more. land than he was
one hour before? And my friend said
they told Kim .there was lots of that be
ing! don there"., JSo-oii, e even tha,
guards do hot," guard, some times.

FATHER. . ;
KUmund Verjce Cbok. . i
He wsa not the kind of a father that volt
read about tn books.
He wasn't long on language and - he
wasn t strong on look..
He waa not the sort of father that you
hear about In play?;
lie was Just a human father with ' a
human father's wast.
No, he never balked nt working, but
when he was through It once.
Right down to the grass wns father.
with the? children, dolntf stunt.
AH of us would pile upon him and he'd
welcome alt the pack.
But 'I'm wondering, after play time, did
we stay there oh his back?
Wasn't strong on dissipation, said his
"gambol on the green"
'A as to fill the platter foster than the
kids could lick It clean, ,
And the next best game ho Knew of
was nn equal one to bent;
It was keeping leather covers up to the
supply of feet. , -
Always on the 3ob was father, -plugstns
Eteadylike and strong,
Ncycr jnaklnir any noise, but helping all
his llttla world Along.
And to thlrk' Lord! ain't funny you
can see things years and years
And yet never know you'vo seen them,
till your eyes are bllhd with tears.

Quit his Job one day and left u-.-emllln?
