On the suffrage question, Edgar Howard has the consolation of knowing that be is lined up with both Secretary1 Bryan and Arthur Mullen at one and the same' time. A military, expert has .come to mean a fellow who can pound out at least two columns of war talk a day, tutting "it' over so strong that no one dares contradict hjm. If those warring armies over in Europe would only lay wagers on the outcome of the world'a championuhlp series, and let the win ners on the diamond decide It, they would have n easy way out-.. Talk about hard times, here la a New York man supporting two women on $8 a week, his wlf and his affinity to his wife told the Judge, wb.o discharged the man on the ground that anyone, who could do! that deserved his freedom. President Wilson would like to speak per sonally for the re-election of every democratic member of congress who co-operated with him in putting through the democratic, legislative pro gram. That lets him out of speaking for a cer tain democratic senator from Nebraska. 7? riayinp; Hii Weak Suit. President Wilson's letter addressed to Con gressman Underwood ia really an appeal to the country for endorsement of the democratic ad ministration, although written la the form of grateful acknowledgement for the co-help of the democratic members of the two houses in carry ing out the White House legislative program. When the president goes to such length to uphold and Justify the different measures he has forced through congress, he is wasting time, be cause all he need have said is that the providen tial interruption of the European war has saved the democrats from being held responsible for any possible ill effects from their law-making.. Ho does worse than waste time, however, for he either wilfully or carelessly distorts the facts to secure partisan advantage, m, for example, wben he repeats tbe foolish talk about our banking and currency system being for more than a generation the worst in the world, and in the boast that "nobody took effective steps to change it until the present congress addressed itself to tbe task with genuine resolution." In the first place, our banking and currency system has not yet been changed, the new re serve banks being still in abeyance, and. In the second place, no banking and currency system that waa "the worst In the world" could possibly bavfl permitted the tremendous development, busljess expansion and prosperity which the Cnlttd States has enjoyed all these years under both democratic and republican administrations. Neither it Is true that nobody took effective steps toward currency rVform until tbe present congress grappled with the problem, for. every one knows that all the preliminary steps for currency and banking reform were taken before the democrats came into power, and- that the Glass bill is only a modification of the Aldrlch bill,- whose principle Is adopted with compara tively unimportant changes of administrative details. - .: The president's statements about the demo cratic tariff and the new trust ' laws invite similar criticism. These laws have either been nullified by the war or 'have not yet become operative. , The president' would bave done much better to have passed up the democratic legislative record with the simple explanation that unfore seen emergencies have prevented Its fruition. The really strong card In his hand is his success In avoiding war complications in Mexico and in Europe, and, Jn pur Judgment, he makes a serious mistake when he plays from his weak suit. , - ' Nebraska's Nonpartisan Judiciary Law. The impending election will witness the first trial in Nebraska of our new nonpartisan Judici ary law. While this measure merely provides a form of ballot separating the Judicial offices from the party tickets, and eliminating all partisan-labels, the underlying thought is a de sire to protect our courts and judges from be ing exposed to the Varying fortunes of party politics.. Under this . theory,.' positions -on . the btnch shouid.be filled solely with reference to the ability, experience and public' service of the candidates rather than their party- affiliations in other , words, the Judge giving satisfactory service should not be recalled because he is a democrat cr republican,' but should be retained tin til there is good reason for a change,-and prospeci of a -change for the better.. ' ' Here In Douglas county tbe nonpartisan bal- iot calls for votes for three different Judicial offices chief Justice of the supreme court, one district Judge to fill vacancy, and county Judge -for which In1 each case It happens that the sitting Judge has been renominated, namely, Chief Justice Reese,. District Judge English and County Judge Crawford. It la no disparage ment of the opposing candidates for us to say that no good reason has been advanced for re calling any one of these three Judges, and that. on the contrary, the arguments are strong for continuing each of them by re-election, regard leas of the fact that one of them happena to be a democrat and tbe other two republicans. local ewlety waa fum!hed a real surprlae by the din-lueure that Chet Murfan. paylns teller of the muea Biaie.

Icon Italy Standing Firm. According to Home diepitches, the death of ftUraul Dt San Giulano, minister of foreign af fairs, la to have- no effect upon Italy's attitude toward tha European war. It will continue Its policy of strict neutrality, which la now, reaf firmed by an authority speaking for the government. Italy stands en a rook basis conatltuted by her right, har reputation before the world and her vital InterarU. It ta known that neutrality waa proclaimed because no clauae la the triple alliance treaty re quired Italy to aaalet Germany and Austria la the present war. Following this very explicit declaration is tbe statement that "this neutrality will not be abandoned for advantageous promises coming from either side." While there may be some misgiving as to Italy's atftlity to preserve her splendid position under certain circumstances. there can be no reflection upon the wisdom and courage of the position. Of course, it is fur ther explained that Italy will continue to arm Itself in preparation for the crisis, which It hopes will not transpire, but the point Is and this must stand forth as Impressive to all the world Italy's supreme hope and tiiort are against war. x Rational men agree in the futility of at tempting to tlx the blame for present condi tions in Europe, yet the final verdict will un doubtedly be this, that if all the powers engaged In ibis horrible tragedy bad been aa determined to preserve the peace aa aomc vera to have war, peace and not war would have been tbe result Italy's vital Interests demand peace; Us treas ury Is not equal to the severest strains of war, neither Is its soldiery, since tha. Tripoli, cam- 1eign. Italy knows this, and therefore may be aald to have been no less selfish in shaping its present policy than any nation at war. That does not, however, serve to discredit Its policy Nor Is It subject to much criticism for refusing to .Join Its triple, alliance, neighbors, since treat ies and alliances have been thrown to the winds in Europe. ' The Fremont Tribune, which was quoted as the authority for that 0 per cent fake, has done the handsome and retracted, but up to tbe hour. of -going to press, the World-Herald has rot aald a word to correct the false Impression it tried to give Its readers. An exchange observes that the metric system has been abandoned by Mexico. Our observa tion Is that so has all systems of any Mad. lloer the AadlloHana lleloa. OMAHA. Oct ll-To the Editor of The Bee: Fpaklng of the enormous attend ance at the Marino band concert at the Auditorium, let me cay that tha publlo Is apt to conclude that' tha Auditorium makes a large amount of Money out of uch occasion a, as the Marina band con cert whereas tha facts are that the Auditorium, on that occasion made leea than $100 above the expense of tickets. ticket aellera. door men. usher and lltchta.

U.-T0 tha Edl tor of The Bee: It seems to me that the Ak-BarBea people mado a great mistake this yenr In practically, banishing the county fair to the almost Inaccessible little vlUag ot Waterloo. Last year there was a magnificent dis play of fine horses, cattle, hogs and pou1- try and a very good agricultural display. considering the fact that there' was a drouth last year for a long while. Thla year in plate of the county fair ex hibit there were , a lot ' ot faka shows, sleight of hand performers, a performing bear, two camels, seme bucking bron chos, some mild west performers and In dians, aa well a soma Araba. It may be all right to have some ot Such shows, but I think It la a' mistake in a great agricultural region Ilka Nebraska to have a lot of showa that are not edu cational in the least in place of a display of farm products of the high order that could have been exhibited in this-very fruitful year. ( .! . , , Last year In the carnival grounds I met people from Idaho,- Oregon, Montana, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other.

Admiral Brulx moreover issued a brave proclamation against the English, declaring "they shall be conquered by terror before they experience the fat of arms, and sink beneath the blows of the French heroea" But all the preparations and procla mations were rendered useless when the English ships swept. th French squadron from the sea and gained a position of vantage from which they could control the channel crossings with their "wooden wall."'
