South Paying the Penalty.
The Roe recently railed attention to the
need of greater crop diversification In the south
as a safeguard against such contingencies as
have arisen In cotton as a result of the war shut
ting off the foreign demand. It Is Interesting to
find this identical thought exploited to the ex
tent of several columns in the Atlanta Constitu
tion by an Atlanta man with years of experience
in the farm loan business, whose authority to
speak Is, according to the Constitution, unques
tionable," although that paper does not endorse
ell he says.
This writer even goes so far as to say that
"the south is In the grip of a cotton growing
oligarchy, more powerful than the ante-bellum
slave-owning oligarchy," that 70 per cent of the
south's farm lands are under the control of land
lords, largely absentee; that So per cent of its
agricultural activities are influenced by this oli
garchy, which will not permit "any large crop
other than cotton," which means.lt Is. against
diversification.
If this Is a correct sensing of the situation,
then, of courne, the first thing for the south to
do, Is not to diversify Its crops, but free Itself.
The Constitution thinks "the tremendous im
petus given to corn growing and stock raising"
challenges this statement of the case In some de
gree, yet the urgency of the need of greater
diversification is generally admitted.
This buy-a-bale-of-cotton plan to relieve the
situation is only a temporary expedient; the cot
ton problem is more permanent. The buy-a-bale
plan, now reaching to other sections, may'serve
to raise the money required for harvesting and
holding this year's crop, but what about next
year's? ' The Constitution advocates the drastic'
measure of cutting down the acreage and output
of the next crop at least one-half, better two
thirds or three-fourths.
It says:
In flptmbcr of 1915 there will be on hand. In
all probability, almost enough cotton to run the fac
tories of the world, those of thla country Included -thla
regardless of a single hale of next year's crop.
If the south plies on that condition anything approach
ing a normal crop, Imagination la not required to
prefigure the result.
But aside from this or any other remedy, the
fact Is the south Is paying the penalty that other
sections in the past have paid of failure to
diversify crops on a large and well-balanced
scale. And this is a national, not a sectional
question.
Down to Common Seme,
The new attorney general la to be com
mended for taking the common sense view of
'the Mann White Slave act, and for inaugurat
ing a plan of dealing with cases brought under
that law that will prevent the abuse of the
prosecuting machinery of the government for
blackmailing purposes.
The trouble with this Mann law Is that while
it was enacted primarily to put a stop to com
mercial traffic in women between the states, it
has been construed to apply to immorality in
general, regardless of the commercial features
of the transactions. As a consequence, accord
ing to a high Department of Justice official, 99
per cent of the men accused have been deliber
ately inveigled into violation of the law Just to
make them buy oft their pursuers. To fore
stall the blackmail element, which is so appar
ent, Attorney General Gregory has decided to
Instruct all his subordinates to have every Mann
act case carefully investigated, 1 and to prose
cute only those which they are satisfied have
had no blackmailing purpose behind them.
Now, If the district attorneys will exercise
the same degree of common sense, the law will
be made to get the white slavers without feed
ing a horde of holdups and their onhangers.

San StephenV Speech.
One of the early guns of the democratic
congressional campaign is a speech by the Hon.
Dan V. Stephens, Nebraska's Third district rep
resentative, fired as "part of Congressional Rec
ord" in order, of course, to frank it through the
mall. The speech is entitled "Record of Achlev
inents of This Congress," and it consumes six
teen closely printed pages and how many tons
of it are to be Imposed upon the malls we do not
know. Perhaps some may read it, but for those
who do not, let us note this second paragraph
of the great utterance; 1
I have no patience th partisanship when It
romes to the transaction of the people's business,
and I would not refer to the record of the demo
cratic .party as such, alnce It has been In control of
the government, were It not for the fact that It must
now answer) to the people In the coming general elec
tion for Its conduct.
President Wilson has told us that "The old
order chaQgeth," and in many, respects it does,
but obviously not In respect to the blown-in-the-
bottle campaign speech, the "canned" goods put
up on the floor of congress or in the columns
of the Congressional Record for free distribu
tion and public consumption in the interest of
"the party." Glimpses here and there at the
Dan Bteprens speech show it to be a very fa
miliar and stereotyped party shibboleth, heard
in many a campaign before. Those who under
stand the great statesman's keen sense of hu
mor will, of course, know how to take the state
ment that ho has "no patience with partisan
ship in the transaction of the people's business."
The only really pertinent conclusion is that
If partisanship has nothlng to do with it, demo
crats in the Third Nebraska district will do well
to take the noble "Dan" at his word, and vote
for tola republican opponent, Mr. Spillraan, who
is an energetic and well qualified young man of
high character and fine promise.
Redmond-Irish Leader
alsiaadef W. Samuel aa vew Tor Worl.
Leadership) rownrd wltfc Darren.
The last few days have proved the right of John
K. Redmond to the great titles of etatnemaa an'!
patriot. For thejr have witnessed the placing of the
home rule hill upon the statute book, and John E
Redmond appealing to his fellow-countrymen In the
rapacity of a recruiting agent for Irish volunteers to
fight under the Vnlon Jack. He has won his long
political fight In the completes! way and stopped for
ever the mouths of those who have accused him sn-.I
his followers of disloyalty to the British crown, it la
true that the home rule act will hot gv Into force for
twelve months, or until the, end of the war. but by
that time the whole united British people will hand
It to him on a silver platter. Ireland's leader has be
come an acclaimed English patriot.
To one familiar with British politics for the last
generation, It la almost Incredible that home rule Is
an accomplished fact, that Ha opponents are today
without a hearing or an argument, and that Briton's
most loyal eons are of Erin, fighting as only they can
fight for the Union Jack and the triumph of British
arms. And It Is to John E. Redmond that .history
must accord the praise. For he It la who has changed
public sentiment In England vo that It waa Impossible
for longer delay In granting freedom to Ireland.
When one recalls the phrases of the opponents of
home rule, of which Mr. Chamberlain's "they arc
marching through rapine and rebellion to the dismem
berment of the British empire" was a conspicuous ex
ample. It seems a long way from the recent scene In
the House of Commons when ringing cheers from
every part of the house greeted Redmond's promise
of support: "I say deliberately to the government
that you may withdraw every one of your troops from
Ireland and still her sons will defend her shores 1'
need be against the common foe.' And not merely
has that been done, but, accompanied by his old foe,
William O'Brien, to whom Oermany has at last united
him, he la calling for volunteers from among the civil
ian followers to swell the great army Kitchener la
raising to fight the Germans. I
Ilea Urrmt Personal Charm.
John E. Redmond la an aristocrat In blrih and
thought, lie Is a very cultured gentleman of great
personal charm. He Is one of the three or four ora
tors left In Parliament and has at hla command those '
rolling, swelling, periods which, delivered In his mag
nificent tones and accompanied by hla commanding
bearing and gesture, proclaim his authority and secure
for him at times an almost overwhelming effect.
It la entirely due to him that the Irish question
came, during the last decade especially, to obtain a
hearing from British' public opinion on Its merits.
Passion had played a big part In Irirfh political life,
passion which too often has exploded In crime and
outrage, tor the British people to say whether It was
politically Just or expedient for Ireland to have self
government. But Ireland has suffered no outrages,
and the publla conscience no effronts by crime for
many years now, as John E. Redmond flas patiently
tolled for his country's rebirth as a natron, and mado
It one of the nvost stalwart of the imperial units.
He Is regarded as the greatest authority upon-the
House of Commons procedure, and has blotted out of
present memory those scenes of Irish disorder that
disgraced Parliament In the early '90's. Indeed, he
has granted a monopoly in public and Parliamentary
disorder to the tory party, the gentlemen or r,iigmn.,
and greedily Ijave they seised It. Several times In the
last three or four years has the House of Commons
sitting been suspended by reason of deliberately or
ganized and artificially fomented disorder, but John
13. Redmond and hla followers have been the re
strained and restraining section of the House.

By a chance arrangement, the Irish party has been
sitting side by side In the House of Commons fur
the last nine years with their old enemy, the tory
party ana the Ulaterltes. Within reach of their fists
have the Ulster men Insulted them to their faces,
sneered at their religion, contemptuously guffawed
t their loyalty, mocked their governing capacity, and
promised death and destruction In the .- land should
they dare to attempt to rule it. Never a reprisal has
come, only the dignified replies of John K. Red
mond, who has pleaded for his cause, and that out
of his cause's triumph might grow such sympathy
and comprehension as should make a peaceful,
united and prosperous Ireland. Today that hope ta
within' reach of fruition.
lie lias Constantly Refased Honors.
Redmond has constantly refused title, honors.
emoluments of place. He might have been a privy
councillor years ago. He might have had a seat l-i
the cabinet at the end of 1906. But he cared not for
any of these things. He faithfully pushed toward his
great goal, the ultimate and precious triumph that u
his today.
Ills party has been under the strictest discipline
from the beginning. The members have each been
In receipt of $.1,500 per year from the Irish partv
funds for many yeara and have been loyal and de
pendable Parliamentarians. When In 1911 the House
of Commons decided upon the payment of members
at the rate of $2,000 per year the Irish still received
the tl.MO from the party fund and paid in the IXOCO
to .the fund eichequer, their personal rights being
subordinated to their country's cause.
The striking appearance of John E. Redmond, his
large eyes that even In repose seem waiting to flash
Or to melt with equal swiftness, hla rich and movinff
voice, his ample figure and his confident mien make
him as familiar at Westminster aa either of the
leaders of the two great parties of the state. He la
familiar to the people of the United States and Can
ada, through which ha has toured again and again.
In pleading hla country's cause. And now that his
cause is trlumpant and Ireland free and vindicated,
he has become a world figure of attention for what
he .has done and has yet to do as her prime minister
for Ireland, the land of new hopes and splendid
beckoning days. '

Votes for Women Wet or Dryt
OMAHA, Sept. 30.-To the Editor of
The Bee: As the granddaughter of a
Methodist clergyman who preached pro
hibition In Virginia and West Virginia,
It Is naturally gratifying to me to have
both these states go "dry." While speak
ing on the chautSuqua this summer
against woman suffrage I addressed a
large audience. In behalf of temperance
at Woodstock. Va , where my grand
father had spoken (on the same subject)
fifty years .before. Not only In Wood
stock, . but throughout the entire koutb.
the antl-saloon sentiment Is strong.; So,
also. Is the anti-suffrage sentiment most
marked.
It is a cold, hard fact, and one which
my fellow Women'r Christian Temperance
union members somet'mes flinch from
faring, that evy dry state on our Wo
men's Christian Temperance union map
has been put there by the votes of men.
We seem to accomplish God's work best
In these states where women are special
ists in molding the character of the men
Who make the .laws. No state la any
greater than the character of Its men.
Colorado, like dry West Virginia, Is a
mining state. Women vote In Colorado,
but do not vote In West Virginia. On
November 6, 1912, after nineteen years of
women In politics, Colorado voted on
statewide prohibition, both .men and wo
men going to the polls. One hundred and
sixteen thousand, seven hundred and seventy-four
votes were cast for a wet state;
76,877 votes for a dry state. According
to the census there were In Colorsdo at
the time 213,125 women over 21 years of
age.. If only 58 per cent of the woman
hood of the state had voted for prohibi
tion the state would have gone dry by
6,012 majority without the help of a single
male vote.
Those of us who deal In facts, not the
ories, want to know why Wyoming Is
still a wet state, after forty-three years
of women In politics. Why Colorado Is
wet, with women voting? Why Idaho
and Utah are wet after seventeen years
of the women at the polls? And Illinois
after the April election added twelve dry
counties to the thirty 'already dry, leav
ing fifty-eight counties out of the ICQ In
the state ' still wet. That was a mere
"drop In the bucket" compared to what
Kentucky accomplished by male suffrage
two days ago. We want to know, why
Lansing, Michigan's capital, went ' dry
this spring under male suffrage, while
Springfield, the capital of Illinois, with
203 more women than men, voted wet?
Will some suffragist please explain this?
MARJORIE DOR MAN.
Armlnar for Peace."
OMAHA, Sept. 30, To the Editor of Th'
Bce: In Roosevelt's last plea for the per
fection of the Implements of war,- he
makes the ridiculous statement that the
war In Europe haa taught us tho neces
sity for preparedness. Now, I submit
that if there la any one thing above every
other consideration In the world that the
war in Europe has taugjit It Is the utter
useleasneea of preparedness.. Not one of
the nations now engaged In that war but
was armed to the teeth, and as for Oer
many, she had so perfected her engine
of death as to make seem childish what
ever we In America might see fit to do,
Roosevelt, Incapable pf that vision given
to the world by the Incomparable Nai-
arene sneers at 'the Idea of peace treaties,
"mere bits of paper," "unless behind the
treaty lay both force and the readiness
to use force." I submit that such a dec
laration la Infamous, but listen to the
great Charles Sumner. '
In our age there can be no peace that
la not honorable; there can be ao war
that is not dishonorable. The true honor
of a nation lies only in deeds 01 Justloe
and In the happiness of its people, all of
which are Inconsistent with war. In the
clear eye of Christian Judgment, vain are
Its victories; tntamoua are its spons.
1 am In these days struck, by the ad
mlsaion, even from Roosevelt admirers,
that had he been president during the last
year we would how be at war with
Mexico, In a contest the end of which
no man could foresee. His Impetuous
manner and his apparent Innate thlrat
for blood would now be forcing us Into
some compromises leading directly to our
mixln In that fratricidal contest across
tho seas.
In that horrible example of "prepared
ness for war" which Roosevelt desires
America to emulate, we see truly what
Sumner said that "War " crushes Wljh
bloody heel all Justice, all happiness, all
that Is God-like In man."
In the words of Charles Sumner: :
As the ocean washes every shore and
c'asps with all-embracing arms every
land, while it bears on Ha heaving bosom
the products of various climes, so peace
surrounds, protects and upholds all other
bleaHlngs.
Yes, the message that Charles tfumner
gave to America In that splendid oration
on "The True Grandeur of Nations." for
the good of civilisation and the advance
ment of America overreaches anything
within the grap of a RooBevelt.

A Vote Getter.
OMAHA, Sept. ?. To the Editor of
The Bee: I overheard a man say today:
"Yes, there's no question but what Blank's
the best man for the office, but he's not
a vote getter." And there you are. Good
men are put up for office right along,
very often over their protest; men who
couM administer-the office' intelligently,
and would do so honestly, but they are
generally defeated because the people
prefer "vote getters." There are the
good, straight, reputable citlsens, Robert
Cowell and others, who ara permltt'n'g
the use of their names for the school
board. Are they all going to be chosen
Just because they happen to be thor
oughly fitted by character, education and
ability for the position? Watch and see.
Vote getting seems to be a sort of
trade. A man must be a mlxtr, a good
fallow, a talker, to get votes. But a
rnlxer. a good fellow, a talker. Isn't gen
erally the best man to drag an office
out of the rut.' In fact, the chances are
rather In favor of the man who lacks
these qualifications, and It does seem a
little short-sighted In the people If it Is
true that the man who Is clearly the
best man for an office can't get elected
to that office.
Why wouldn't It be a good plan to
reason It out this way: The msn who
wants an office bad enough to spend
months of valuable time "runnlnr". for
It can't have much else to do. On the
other hand, the man who haa a business
of hla own that takes his time and has
no time to mix is pretty apt to make a
good public servant. There have ttea a
number of cases In Omaha where the
very best cltliens have been beaten by
(rcompetents, to any nothing worse. Is
that what Is coming to Robert Cowell
and h'a associates?

Handwrltlne; on the Wall."
OMAHA, Sept. !W.-To the Editor of
The Bee: - Like Belshazzar of old the
nations of Europe failed to change con
ditions that were lead'ng them down to
certain destruction until too late. The
handwriting biased upon the wall.
For years the people of, these countries
have been taxed beyond reason to sup
port enormous armies of Idle men. Ger
many In all Its wonderful glory of learn
ing, with all Its Instincts of ' scientific
research, with all Its marvelous medical
triumphs, made one unpardonable mis
takethe mistake of wanting to be' feared
by the nations of the world. This fear
among the other nations will eventually
culminate In the cfuahlng defeat of Ger
many's pride Its army and navy. What
It considered Its protection will be Its
undoing.
Let the United States heed the hand
writing on the wall and refrain from
heavy armament and large armlea. Let
us be feared as merchants, farmers and

Lurena Sheldon In New Tork Times.
Poor summer lingers by the sea
In sad. despairing agony!
So fair the days that flitted by.
So flowered the earth, so bright the sky,
That to her modest heart Is borne
Self-censuring breath, of gladness shorn
Late penanoe for past ecstacy.
The ocean's sheen so long beguiled
So witching were the stars that smiled.
Her heart forgot Its reticence, .
And, reveling in Joy intense.
Flung back gay merriment to all
The meadow's charm, the blue sky s
thrall . . .,.
Like soma unthinking, roysterlng child.
Now a'utumn waits to take her hand
And lead her to another land,
, Where light In shadow Is confined;
Alas! her breast is unreslgnedl
Still sitting sadly by the aea
She struggles with the mastery
In this now ruler's strong . command.
