The Homa, Market Fint.
A trade circular urging effort along certain
lines to put our Industrial machinery again In
working order concludes:
. We hear on all rifles that the European war has
lft the door wide opon for thla country to enter and
eecur the market of the world. This cannot be dona
In a dsy or a year, let u flrat hrlns thla country's
Industries hark to their normal condition. This mut
he done before an Imreaaed foreign trade can he
f cured
. To anyone who will give the subject
th.ougb.Uul conslde retlon, theite observations
will apposr self-evident. The' first tssk before
us Is to supply our own domestic needs Inde
pendently of foreign countries who are at
wsr, and with whom our commercial Inter
course Is Interrupted; If not cut off. We can
make sure 'of a home market right away, while
to capture foreign markets we will have to
meet competition of other countries, Inviting
though the openings may be. Furthermore, by
first building up and strengthening the Indus
trial machinery required to supply our own
needs, we will be put In much better position
to make Inroads abroad. In a word. It is the
part of wisdom for us to entrench our home
Industries, or at least not to neftlect them by
diverting capital; to develop the resources of
neighboring countries. s

, Jaking- No Neediest Risk,
Administration forces msy actually feel the
assurance of success at the polls next month to
the' extent expressed in their publicity state
ments, yet there lurks the suspicion of doubt In
the extensive campaign plans of Secretary Bryan.
If all is as sure as pretended, why put the over
worked premier of the cabinet to the task of
stumping so many states at a time when the du
ties of his own office, are most exacting? How
ever deeply imbued the country may be with
these expressions of self-confidence, It will not
be apt to overlook the significance of this.
From announcements It appears that Mr.
Bryan Is to make speeches tor congressional or
gubernatorial candidates, or both, in Indiana,
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Note the
absence of Illinois from the list. Hero another
significant point arises. Much has also been
paraded about the harmony, existing throughout
the democracy. That harmony does not, how
ever, soften" The heart of Colonel Bryan to the
extent of. making 'hipi willing to stop In Illi
nois and aay" a word' in behalf of, Roger Sulli
van, democratic nominee for the senate, even
though It was the lion. Roger who delivered
park and pactfsge.'tbt Illinois delegation to the
'Bryan presidential candidate at Baltimore.
So It goes the return of a democratic house
by a big majority 4s certain, yet the democrstlc
leaders will take'no risk that their precaution
can avoid. '
The Thinking Public.
In his latest book of curtain lectures to his
fellow-countrymen, George Bernard Shaw ven
tures to say that the British "reading and think
ing public does not number 50,000." In view
of tha many millions1 of : Britons, that Is a se
vere stricture, even for Bernard Shaw to make
for no American would presume to make it, or
van second It after Shaw has made It,;.,
But the question arises, who are the' think
era -In England. or America .or anywhere jslse?
Or what la a thinking msn in the deepest sense
of the word? The qoestlon was recently asked
and answered by an American perlodlc&T," quite
without reference, however, to the Stiaw-criti
cism. ThS answer Involved the idea; which
mQat.Ajnerlcana like to exploit, "Are not Ameri
cana tha most intelligent nation on earth, and
keener-witted today than ever?" That may be
granted and yet not be the answer. The diffi
culty is, pointed out, that we conound in
telligence and thoughtfulnesa so badly as often"
to lose the "thought habit without knowing that
anything la gone." ',
Who, then, are tba thinkers? Following out
thr writer quoted, ' we find that -'intelligence
1a a. poor traveler,'' while thought travels ex
tensively, seeking and assembling facts that per
tain to others aa well aa to self, and then finds
the proper way to handle them, always con
cerned chiefly about the Interests ot others. In
brief, the thinker is he, who loses thought ot
selfish Interests In reaching out after general in
terests,' who thinks enough of his owa petty
matters, as to acquire a large, well-measured
understanding of tha problems or other and
therefore makes himself capable of aolving these
problems. Whether thla bo tba true definition
of tha thinker, one thing aeems certain, that thla
kind. of a thinker Is very much needed In our
every sphere of life and today mora than aver.
Reverting the Order.
Those Missouri stockholders of Northern Pa
cific and Burlington - who propose submitting
their appeal for higher freight and passenger
rat sa to the commissions ot the various states
in which tbeso roads operata Instead of to tha
Interstate Commerce cora mission are reversing
the general order of things. Invariably the
railroad official prefers to send his case to tha
federal power, on the theory that one is better
than many authorities.
Aside from the fart, therefore, that the Hill
interests have hit upon the novelty of getting
outside stockholders to bring up these demands,
special interest centers in this pecullsr pro
gram. It may be that fear of securing favor
ble action throughout their territories has
decided these roads to go in for as much of a
concession as possible, believing that part of a
loaf will beat no loaf at all. While oae atate
commission msy refuse, another may permit
rate Increases.
Why not be konest and outspoken about it,
and admit that th chief qualification of Willis
Reed as democratic nominee for attorney gen
eral la the forlorn hope he baa been chasing as
a' chronic candidate for everything from district
Judge up to United States senator?
Auditor Howard ta about to institute suits
against several counties to collect unpaid obli
gations to the slate., why should the btate have
to sue a county and make the taxpayers pay for
Iswyvrs and court coats on both sides? There
ought to be a better way.
.. Mao children, who can. will wish to he!
load the good Christmas ship for the little chil
dren of war-wept Europe, but will neglect 'to
do so. The wish that Is followed by the gift Is
one that will count.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. .-To tha
Editor of The Bee: On the Ith of Sep

Frankfort-on-the-Maln. probably tha
leading newspaper In Southern Ger
many, published tha following report,
sent It by Its special correspondent:
"After a careful examination of She
city ot Iewen (Louvaln). I have satis
fied niysrlf that four-fifths of that city
has not hern damsged, sa tha number of
destroyed butldlnga la not above 1M.
The beautiful Gothic city hall, which
at tha time of the fire was covered by
siaffoldlng preparatory to some con
templated repairs, and seamed, ' there
fore quite liable to damage, was com
pletely saved from any harm through
tha efforts of tha German soldiers, la
the blocks adjacent to tha city hall, sev
eral buildings were blown up In order
to better protect It from tha fire. The
roof only of tlu? cathedral oppoalte was
burned by flying brands., and tha in
terior with tha exception of a faw small
holea In tha arch, la not .damaged wt all.
Neither the paJntlngs nor ,tha church
treasure have suffered. During the fire,
German officers carried the altar paint
ings by Dirk Bouts. Rosier Van Weyden
and others to the city hall, .where they
are now kept. It la to be regretted that
the Itbrary, which caught Tire from fly
ing brands, could not be saved, but it Is
the only Irreparable, lose.
"The destroyed buildings, for the
greater art, are modern buildings, with
out, any artistic or historic value. The
exterior of the Oothlc university halls
Is Intact. ' ' i
"The streets' which' suffered most ara
those loading to the depot and out to
Narnur nnd TIrlemont.
"One can easily; see that only those
houses were set on fire from which shots
wera- fired, for on every' street, soma
houses were left standing. ' Vpon the
return of the people, business has been
resumed and tha civil authorities have
again taken up their duties In conjunc

Tha great fundamental ' principle be

perhaps a fatal blunder the state and

It Is a ver aacred thing. If every In

Short Ballot Talks
Norfolk News: A proper test to determine whether
r not wa need the short ballot In Nebraska might ba
mada by any voter If ha could take a ballot such as
was east at tha rernt primary and determine for him
self how many of the candidates whose names ap
peared on It he waa really in a position to Judge as to
fltneaa, ability and Integrity. Aside from aspirants
for governor the avarare man would find perhaps two
or threa namea of men of whom ha felt reasonably
sure. For the rest at tha ticket he must go It blind,
trusting to luck that he may not help nominate s
scoundrel or an Incompetent. Is It not reasonable to
suppose that he governor, acting with or without tha
advice of tha senate, would be" able to make a better
choice from among tha applicants thsn tha voter who
never heard of any of them? The governor at least
would have an opportunity Of Investigating and he
would be forced to use great care because ho would be
held responsible to tha people for any mistake he
might make.
Norfolk News: There were l.KTJ aspirants for
office oa tha primary ballot In Illinois. ' Evidently
Nebraska la not the only stste la which the short
ballot reform Is badly needed.
Tekam&h Journal: The fellows who are advocat
ing a short ballot. It would seem, are not allied with
any particular wing of reform. It Is really delightful
to sea our friend Ven Deusen ot Blair agreeing so
fully with The Omaha Bee editor.' If there was any
ona thing that was demonstrated In the recent pri
mary It waa tha fact that aa present outlined it does
not bring forth tho results desired. Men are not nom
inated by a majority vote of any party and It la quits
possible for a list of candidates to be so large that a
small per cent shall decide the nomination, and the
party who wlna may be a wholly undesirable candi
date. Falrbury News snd Gaaette: There are .several
ways that tha ballot could be shortened without dolni;
vlolenca to popular government, and those should
meet with a general endorsement. For instance, the
sug-gwstion to do away with the offices of Justices of
the peace and constables tn each precinct. They tare
about as uselesa adjuncts as can be -Imagined.
Friend Bentlnel: Under the present primary sys
tem, any man with the price can get his name on tha
ballot, and how are the people to become Informed as
to his qualifications? Burely not through the news
papers, for the man who has the price can get before
the people through a "political advertisement." If n
governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general
only are to be elected, the people can look them up,
and be sure of their men, and (hey three can be
safely entrusted with the appointment of the other
atate offloers. Let us have the short ballot by all
means.
Lincoln Star: If It la a privilege to vote for ons
publlo officer, it Is a. privilege to vote for another.
If It Is too burdensome and troublesome for a cltlxen
to vote for secretary of atate, it Is too troublesome
for him to veto for governor. If voting la a burden
upon the cltlxen that la unjustified, why not. relieve
him by taking away the privilege entirely? There
would ba no burden In getting plenty of public ser
vants tf'not a man or woman had a vote, and If ona
1s td take Into-account only the convenience of tha
voter, we might aa well revert to the procesa whereby
men governed by divine right. Then no man would
have ta make seventy marks on his ballot, because he
would have no ballot.' Next to having no ballot Is
'having only a very short one. If the former Involves
a total denial of m. Juat privilege, than the latter In
volves a partial denial of the same privilege. It Is
not the voter who . marks his ballot who complains
about tba burden It imposes. It Is the politician, the
political theorist and the political reformer. Why not
wait until tha voter kicks on his Jobl
