The Decision Aguinit Dollar Gas.
The derision of Judge T. C. Munger "I the
federal rwirt in what lfl known as the "Omaha
dollar gen rare". In against the city. In a word,
the court holjn (hat the city U bound. Just the
freely entere-d Into, and that having contracted
freely entered Into, and that having rontrated
with the gas company to pprmlt a charge not to
exceed $1.2.r per l,0iO cubic feet, it cannot, dur
ing the. period of that agreement, compel it to
cell at a lower price.
Much ox we nouM like to have, dollar ga.
and though the company might supply gas prof
itably foa- a dollar, the contention of the city In
this oajin,' repudiating on section of a contract
while taking advantage of other nections, was
nort an enerlable one. The truth tr, a city like an
Individual or bunlnepn corporation, has more to
gain ly scrupulously living up to its agreements
than by finding loopholes to evade them.
The. adverse decision in the dollar gas rase
k- ves the city Just where It was. Tt has lost
nothing that it had, but la brought fare to face
with the problem of dealing with tha gas ques
tion at the expiration of the present franchise,
now only four years off. Had this decision come
a little earlier, it might possibly have made a
difference In previous negotiations for dollar
gas. because many people wero led to believe
that the city already had a right to fix tha price,
and that the gas company was conceding- noth
ing In its offer of immediate reduction in ex
change for franchise extension.
That, however, is now neither here nor
there, for an appeal by the city would consume
most of the time of the remaining unexpired
term. Whatever course it. shall be decided to
pursue, our sad experience with the water works
at least' feSches several things not to do.
Are the. People Thinking More.
The present state election campaign In Ne
braska, though characterized by' very little ex
citement, Is no exception to th campaigns the
country over in this particular. The fact la, we
seem to have dispensed with much of the former
noisy demonstrations 'with spll-blnders dinning
their nostrums and panaceas Into our ears. Does
tha absence of these wilder methods of elec
tioneering Indicate more thoughtfiilness on tha
part of the voters?
Happily we have ground for believing that
voters do a lot mora thinking on their own ac
count than they used to, bat on the other hand
they are not wholly, impervious to the pin
pricks of flattery, sophlutry or pure buncombe,
as events show. If the spread-eagle orator has
left the huwti-nps, perhaps it is not entirely due
to deeper thinking on tho part of the voters, but
to soma extent to the fact that he can find
mora profitable receptions on the Chautauqua
platforms, where a lot' of campaigning and elec
tloneeriag is done these days under various disguises.
Germany and Its Aims.
By centering its fira on little Belgium, Ger
many evidently intended to pave the way as
speedily as possible for a direct 'attack oh Eng
land, as the following statement by Major Mo
raht, the eminent Berlin military critic, shortly
before the fall of Antwerp, confirming current
opinion, 'Indicates: . ,
. . Only after the fall' of Antwerp shall we ha-vw our
rear and right flanks free. The occupation of Ant
werp will be big nteo toward eur settlement with
England and will enable us to direct eur efforts
against the toughest and most unscrupulous of our
snemfea. ' '
Even with Brussels, Antwerp and In time
Ostend secured, however, Germany would yet
b a considerable distance from the goal aimed
at, if England Is Its aim. The Belgium cam
paign must, however, ba viewed from another
Interesting standpoint. Those who have read
tha lata Price Collier's "Germany and tha Ger
mans," will recall that he defined the dostlny
of Germany as lying out through territorial ag
gression. A small country in area, it waa
thickly populated and needed more land, he
contended. But a later view is that Germany's
supreme need Is not so much land, as seaports;
that, being essentially an industrial country, It
must have better outlets for Its commerce on
tha north and can have them only by obtaining
possession of more big ports.
In this connection the New York Times re
cently Quoted "a minister of a neutral state of
world-wide experience," as saying that, while
Holland waa not antagonistic to Germany, It
feared Prussian militarism and therefore "is far
from divided. In sentiment, but is wholly and en
tirely on the side of the allies, earept for a small,
unimportant clique." He went so far as to say
that Holland's early participation in the war
was "not Improbable." In that event, though,
there la ground for believing that the crux of
tha war will come In a direct encounter be
tween the two closely related powers, Germany
and England.
Tha Danger of Prophecy.
Nobody but the seventh sou of a sevenxh son
should venture very far into the field of proph
esy. Any one entertaining doubt on this score
may readily disabuse his mind in these days of
quickly changing war panmoramas. Here, for ex
ample, some of the foolish statements mafo by
a noted military expert In tha current Outlook,
which la dated October 14, although What is
quoted is wrlttea under data of Octobe 7:
1 I am inclined to think tha German attack on
Antwerp has not been serious.
If the Germans could snare half a milIon men
for a week or two. they could prebebly take) tike city,
smother the llelnUn army and be free for service
elsewhere.
It will be a great surprise if the Oermens take
Antwerp.
The great surprise is that this forecast of a
great war expert should be dlsprovem before It
is printed. Just as the forecast of the base ball
experts were pounded out over the fence In the
very first game.' . .
From an engineering starsdpolnt water
power development of Nebraska streams Is per
fectly feasible as Is likewise conversion of the
Missouri river into a channel for big ships; bat.
unfortuustely, nobody haa ;et,een enough re
turns In either to warrant inviettlng tha neces
sary money.
Perhaps what President V7rtaon meant wTjen
he urged the people of this eoroitry to ba neutral
In speech and thought was that we should not
all take the same side, for It Is only on this
understanding of It that tha. advice Is being ol-lowed.

OMAHA. Oct. 13-To the Editor of Th
Ree: Every voter In Douglas county has
tl l mtrnlre; receive a card postmarked
LliirolH. Neb., resdln as follows:
Fhnll we move the university and waste
.!.(ri,(ve?
Mmll we stay on present csmpne and
save IT'OHO?
Vote esnlnt the university removal he.
rsue- H will cost the taxpayers of Ious
ln county their proportion of the un
r..rv exiienee Ions and waete the sum
of l?"T,SH7. Removal Is sore to boost your
taxes It will cost M.OOO.OjO.
There Is not one word of tflth In these
statements. The legislature of IMS ap
propriated three-fourths of 1 mill r r six
ears fur a special university' building
fund. It In estimated that this levy will
brlntt 2,.7iO,0O'. Thst amount Is fixed and
a vote either for or against removal will
not sffert the amount one cent either
way.
The only question that Is being sub
mitted to the voter la whether that
amount shall be spent In consolidation
upon the farm campus of W acres, or
whether we shall build two complete, sep
arste universities, one down town and an
other on the farm campus, both In the
rity of Lincoln, two and one-half miles
.apart. That la all there Is to It.
This eard Is part of a campaign of mis
representation conducted by the Interested
property owners, boarding house keepers
and business man a( Leneoin, who see la
the abandonment of the down town cam
pus a depreciation fit real estate vaitiee
and the disturbance of business locations.
They hope to Impose upon to IgnorSnoa
ot the voter through m selfish appeal to
tits pneketbook. v
1'nrortunately, In s referendum, the side
that is financially affected and that, has
personal and selfish ends te' gain has
Plenty of money with which to look after
Its own Interests, leaving the champion
ing of the side Which Is of Vital concern
to the public to altruistic volunteers..
An appeal to evidently prompted by
self-interest ahd sent out by an orssn
izatlon that Is ashamed to put Its signa
ture to these abeurd and untruthful state
ments should awaken the suspicion . of
the puhtlc;, and Instead of helping their
csuse should condemn It la the eyes pf
every discriminating voter.

OMAHA, Oct 11. To the Editor of The
I lee: We take a patriotic city Interest In
our fall festivities, our time of merry
making and fan, and we poln,t with un
bounded pride to our great electric parade
as bolng the grandest ever produced in
the world. First of all the loyal business
men of this city, and the Ak-Sar-Ben
Hoard of Governors, together with the
memhera. are due much praise for mak
ing this annual occasion a sucoesa. But
did you ever stop to consider the praise
due the master mind of the beautiful
electric floats?
It la probably the artlstlo ability and
the wonderful imaginative powers of Ous
Renin that has made our parades the talk
of the country, His capacity for produc
ing better and grander floats each suc
ceeding year seems almost miraculous
and beyond belief.
Twenty years of parades, and each year
a different story! If there are any "Iron
crosses" to be given away In this state,
I would suggest that the first one be be
stowed upon Ous Renxo. C. WALSH.

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Oct 11 To the
Editor of The Bee: Although I hardly
think the last letter Of Mr. Blessing's
needs a reply, yet 1 Will add my final
word to what I have said before. A man
or nation that goes armed to the teeth,
with a chip on tho shoulder, are not very
good peace example. They would show
more peace consistency It they would dis
card their armaments.
When Roosevelt spoke at the Omaha'
Auditorium, after his hunt In Africa, for
the republican nomination for president,
he advocated the expenditure of $MO,OOft,000
for the uphnlldlng of the United Btates
navy. That much money used for other
and better purposes would benefit the
people more than to be well prepared to
kill someone. '
Hsd Roosevelt taken tha Panama strip
from some powerful nation. Instead of
from Wak Colombia, we would hare had
plenty of war on our hands. Had he
"been -preeittWnt this year we would have
been mixed, up In war With Mexico, and
prcbai)ly in Europe, too, for he stuck his
no so into European affairs after his trtp
to Africa,.
' If the Krupp gun' works were destroyed,
as welt as all other gun works of the
world. It would be a blessing to mankind,
for the Krupp gun worUa are the greatest
menace to the world today.
With the south In the saddle today
with, the president from tne south, the
ch'rf Justice, the speaker ot the honse and
piA-eldeot of the senate, all Important
nunittees of both houses, and with a
targe number of political appointments
from the south, with the regional banking
system and with a tariff system favoring
the south the talk about Roosevelt being
able to carry any southern state is sheer
nonsense. The people of the south will
never vote for a northern man in prefer-'
em to a xnan of their section.' The re
publican party would never unite on
Roosevelt, for he will never be president
again. F. A. AONEW.

HOLBnooK, b.. Oct. ll-To the
Editor of The Bee: While selling apples
In Nebraska I have visited a good many
towns and villages and wherever I go
and mention Wathena, Kan., my home. I
ant asked eur objection to using the full
quart boa for berries. The reason Is that
It puts too many berries In one box
they mash teo easily nt to put them In
pints Increases the cost which Is directly
contrary to the Intent of the present
law. The expense to the grower of a
twenty-fmir-plnt crate Is 46 cents, and a
twenty-four-quart care Is 60 cents, ller
rlea are not sold by the pint, quart or
pound, but by the box or crate. Thirty
year experience has demonstrated that
the wine quart Is the best for the grower,
shipper, retailer and consumer. There
are more berries raleed In Doniphan
county, Kansas, than In the states of Ne
braska, law a and Minnesota combined,
and why should the legislatures of these
states try to tell on what stse box to
use? I have spent a life-time In the busi
ness A. . LA BOL'NTT.

for from 1.000 to 3.0 to be placed through the Bethle

still another for W.00O dozens of undershirts and
an.Oni) dozen shirts, and Inquiries for 2lO.iO towels and
"0O1 pairs of socks have been recorded within the
last few days In the neighborhood of PUIIadelphla
alone. In addition, a British order for several hundred
thousands reels of barbed wire waa given a Pltts
burgn firm, and there have been Inquiries from the
same source for IS.IW.OOO worth of builders' hardware
to replace supplies heretofore purrhaaseo In Ger

Spurring; National Pride.
Cleveland Plain Pealer.
Sheer senseless prejudice Is costing the people of
the United States millions a year the prejudice
against goods made by American skill and with
American capital. We have been worshipping the
Word "Imported," paying homage with gold to a maglo
word that In moat cases means nothing. Perhaps this
European war. by throwing Americans back upon their
own resources, will bring about a better understanding
of the facta, which would mean money In our pockets.
America haa Been called the granary of the world;
In a pinch we could come near feeding the earth.
It la time to think of America alao aa potentially a
great workshop, manufacturing goods for the con
sumption of the peoples of all nations. But. first, 1ct
us get it firmly fixed In mind that we have the
skill, energy and capital to make the things we need
ourselves.
Let us cease paying unnecessary tribute to the fac
tories of Europe and Asia. The millions of gold sent
across the sea to pay for goods that could be mado
just as well at home represents an Inexcusable wast
Why not keep' the treasure In the United States?
"We must quit worshipping the word "Imported."
"Made In America,", should be written on the banners
of our admiration.
Regaining Confidence.
Indianapolis News.
We learn one day, on eminent authority, that tho
farmer will profit by the war; on the next, from other
emnent authorty, we learn the contrary. The report
gains credence today that this Industry or that la
obliged to close Its shops, and tomorrow Will come
word that these mills are running overtime and cry
ing for additional workmen. Susceptible persons' have
been frightened out of their wits by reports of Im
pending famines in various foods, fabrics and drugs,
and now, as though , to crown the whole ridiculous
structure, an Immigration officer paddles over from
Ellis Island to add the doleful Intelligence that future
Immigration will demoralise American generations still
unborn.
Our sense of humor saves ue as a nation from
suffering the despondency that all th's depressing
conjucturc conspires to produce. Readjustment to met
suddenly changed conditions there waa bound to be,
but we are beginning now to realise that gross
exaggeration In many Instances d'splaced simple
truth, and that mere opinion in others was advanced
as solid fact. We are regaining our composure and our
.confidence. And If vain and futile speculation wilt
only cease to raise Its foolish bogles our progress
toward complete recovery of poise and calmness will
be far more rapid.

France orders 1 128,009 miles of barbed wire from

winter huts, cloth ror uniforms are being purchased
here. These are only the beginnings. The war haa
but Just begun Its third month, and winter Is not
yet at hand, and the supplies In military warehouses
