How did you find that out, AIT That good Christmas ship, with Its cargo of food and clothing, will bring almost as much cheer to otherwise cheerless European he&rts as Tshipload of sympathy and kind wishes. Every taxpayer who has to help foot the bill wants the county treasurer protected against Pickpockets. What Interest can those two local liewspapers have that have been so eager to help Ike sheriff get away with his Jail-feeding graft? Judging from the happy humor In which distinguished Americans' return from Japan, It seems fair to conclude that the mikado has not discarded all but the grapejuice brand of diplo macy. The Christinai Ship. The Christinas ship typifies both the symbol and spirit of the work of love that will shower the far-awny fatherless children of war enthrallrd Europe with Christmas gifts from the children of free and peaceful America. So let us hope that Uncle Ram's great ocean vessel that has been pressed Into service for Ibis mission of mercy and philanthropy will help riVopen In tho minds of not only the children of both continents, but of the grown-ups as well, the true significance of It all. For with all the great practical good to be done, this enterprise has a yet larger meaning, which the men of Eu rope, especially, need to catch and grip at this time. When these gifts of useful comforts, and toys, too, have served their material ends and gladdened aching hearts, may the whole mag nificent scheme then stand forth In bold relief against the dark, foreboding background of hideous war as a melancholy monument to this crime of the ages perpetrated by enlightened nations, not one of which Is now, or ever will be, able to satisfy Us own conscience for Its part In the slaughter. Little short of a miracle can now end hos tilities before Christmas, when again the na tions of the earth will lift their voices In the anthem of "Peace on earth, good will toward men." But to what people, save of the United States, will this shepherd song bring the spirit that It bore as U echoed from out against the Judean hills on that first Christmas morning? It Is not enough that we shrill feci the depth of all this meaning; our prayer Is that Europe may feel It stronger, if possible, than we do. And feeling, shall some day, surely before another Christmas rolls round, ceaBe firing. With all the strained constructions put upon His words, the world, regardless of creed, must come to be lieve surely that the One in whose name all this Is done mount, as He said to an impetuous dis ciple on a crucial occasion, "Put up thy sword," that His kingdom was not to be propagated by violence. Bo we of America, whatever our religious professions may be, are growing deeper In the doctrine of peaceful abltrament. And we stand as the good friend of all nations, rervdy to serve any. The Bee Is rejoiced to have had a part In furthering this superb mission of peace, of al truism, of stem, practical philanthropy. And as It comes to its glorious climax we desire to hall in a spirit of genuine fellowship and appre ciation all those fine little folks, or their elders, who Joined so nobly in an enterprise whose Im mediate and future benefits are not for us to estimate. o Captain Jack O" Donahue, for soma yeara In cora- man of the police force, has resigned to go Into bualnaas for himself.

No civilised nation today could afford to attack another, not alone on account of tha ooat piled high upon its rruahtng dobts of tha past, but rather on account of tha ahock to civilisation, the dlalocatlon of finance and commerce, tha dlalocatlon of friendships and of common Ideals, tha reversion to the ape and tiger morals of medieval daya, whan tha oltlien waa tha prey of tha army aa well as the slave of the state. Thus wrote David Starr Jordan In his "Amer ica's Conquest of Europe," put In book form only last year. Someone is sure to smile at his "prophecy," when he has not attempted proph ecy at all; he haa simply stated a bald and patent fact, the full force of which will be felt when the final tilf nf thle nraaAnt wee fle taVAfi Whan Europe ends the slaughter of men and destruo-j Hon of men's material, social and political achievements, perhaps It will agree that "no civilised nation could afford to attack another." Nations, like men, unfortunately, often do what they never can afford or fully pay for. That is exactly what the warring nations of Europe are doing today. There Is no possibility of their realising on the Investments they are making In this war. for It Is not within the power of war, as the arbitrament of Interna tional disputes, to repair the damage and de struction, the wrong and Injustice It does to civilisation. - Dr. Jordan reminds us, in this little book, of the Treaty of Ghent, which -put an end "forever" to armed strife among the English-speaking races. At least, thfet was Its mission, which It has maintained for a century. Its sole content was cease firing," uttered as a rebuke to England and young America, then engaged In the war of 1812-'H, regarded by many as the complement of the revolution. Dr. Jordan observes that the Treaty of Ghent settled nothing, "but In thla very fact lies Its significance. It decided nothing because It registered merely the results of war. The treaty marked the resolution of two nations to stop fighting, because by war nothing could be decided." Now what this tresty has decided and this is the lesson of the hour -Is that na tions can, If they will, live at peace and prosper. It, therefore, stands as a token to the futility of "wat. Here these two great English-speaking na tions have lived aide by side and waxed strong in these 100 years of unbroken peace and their experience is the last word in the sentence oa the inexcusable folly of the present upheaval. Bayed by Fresh Air. The fresh air enthusiasts should find re inforced argument for their cause la the re ports of the Smithsonian Institute hunters re turning from the far north, relating how aa abundance of fresh air ' preserved their health during the long night of aa Arctlo winter on the borthern shore of Alaska. An accident com pelled them to lay up there for the winter. Their food, of course, consisted of the heavier. oily meats, with no fresh fruits or vegetables. To offset the lack of these, they lived out of doors as much as possible, and returned to the states In normal physical condition. Surely if an extra amount of fresh air will take the place of fruit and vegetables in the pre servation of health la the Arctics, It will work no end of benefits la the temporate sons. Ordi narily one would never suppose that a man unac customed to the rigors of that latitude would feel the need for more air than might filter through the tightest-made but. This Is a good Illustration of the Indepensable properties of the natural elements. Happily, our people are com ing to realize that good health depends oa the utility of nature's forces, and no doubt the race will grow stronger In proportion to the use it makes of these forces. Here we find how neces sity as the mother of Invention haa served us well. Despite the increasing demands of the sedentary Uf and all the artificial modes of existence we are finding our way out of the labyrinth of close confinement to a wholesome contact with the out-of-doors, evea while we sleep, and thus building a better race. For many the automobile has In this particular proved the boon of the age, but those who are not able to have autos are by no means denied the boon. Oh, Wouldn't It Be Awful! Most of the candidates who are chasing state offices in Nebraska are doing so in the belief that when bagged the Jobs will carry the increased salaries provided by the pending constitutional amendment, which Is as good as adopted. Almost since Nebraska waa admitted to the union our governors have been drawing the munificent salary of f 2,600 a year, but the next governor Is counting on pulling down double that sum, or $5,000 a year. The attorney gen eral expects to draw $4,000, as against $2,000 now; the next treasurer hopes to draw $3,000, as against $2,600, with similar raises of $600 for the secretary of state, commissioner of pub llo land and state superintendent. Now, these are not exorbitant salaries even in war times, but a question may be raised as to when the new schedule goes Into effect. The amendment, which contains the salary boosts. Is made up of two sections, the first one defining the offices of the executive department, but limited by an express proviso that it is to apply to the officers elected in 19 IS and thereafter. Obviously, If the whole, amendment were to be come effective at the same time, the higher sal aries would not be available to this year's crop of successful candidates, but would stay on the plum tree until their successors were elected and qualified. Wouldn't that be awful? As to Gruesome War Pictures. The Intense interest In the war that Is wag ing on the other side of the Atlantic Is notice ably heightened by the adjunct of the camera giving people at the remotest corners of the globe, vivid photographic glimpses of what is ioing on. Not only have we dally the almost instantaneously transmitted chapters of the war story, but within a short time they are followed up by visualised and graphic views of the suc cessive scenes in the war drama. Never before in history have time and distance been so com pletely annihilated for the onlooker, or the panorama of events spread so clearly before our eyes. As all our readers are aware,, The Bee has been reproducing very promptly the best pict ures taken by all the war photographers, and we have been enabled to do this by means of special arrangements entered into at no small expense. Included aihong the pictures that come to us are those which exhibit the gruesome side of battlefield slaughter trenches filled with dead bodies of fallen soldiers, horses and horse men killed by exploding shells, spies belrig shot, and ghouls looting corpses but we have not printed them In our columns. We confess that such pictures excite a degree of Interest; they Illustrate the unusual and harrowing side of war and appeal to the morbid curiosity. Our hesitation to print them In The Bee comes from the feeling that It la not desirable to send such ghastUness into the homes to be spread before children of impressionable age, upon whom their Influence cannot be for their good. We do not believe our readers, though they may look at such pictures in papers they do not want In their homes, wish to have The Bee depict the horrors of the war in photographs of headless human corpses and mangled bodies of men and animals. Art Along the Highways. The suggestion for harmonious architecture of all structures, bridges or what not along the Lincoln Highway la a good one. Art has Its place, even by the roadside. It we are to have an enduring national boulevard linking the oceans, let us have a beautiful one as well as a good one. A substantial bed with a smooth surface, making a pike for excellent travel. Is the first consideration, to be sure, but the next one, which comes up very close to It, Is the esthetic feature. THe Lincoln Highway should be made the very acme of the good roads propa ganda, without an equal anywhere In the coun try, not alone for worth aa a driveway, but for the artistic taste. While the scenic effect, reg ulated by nature, will vary In different states and sections, the architecture ought to be at least harmonious from one end to the other. Prey to Petty Personalities. Because VlUa agrees to support ny pro visional president, eave Carranzb, who may be selected at the Aguaa Callentes convention, none is selected. Carranxa agrees to step down and out from this office provided Villa has no hand la naming his successor. This 1 the splrtt that has long governed the course of events in Mexico, but never more than la the last three years and a halt. Mexico. In deed, is the pitiful prey to petty personalities. Men without the remotest capacity, so far as the publlo baa reason to believe, make the govern ment merely a foot ball to be kicked from one goal of sordid ambition to another. Mexican people may become accustomed to successive exploitations by different sets of Individuals, but it is nevertheless distressing to any hope of the early rehabilitation of the government to note how completely It Is at the mercy of these vindictive self-seekers. So long as thla Is the case, Mexico's future must remain very uncer tain. A political statistician down at Lincoln has It all figured out that at the Nebraska election the head of the progressive ticket will poll not to exceed 4,000 votes, and that the head of the democratic ticket will lose the votes of five times that many democrats. Now, it's all over but the shouting! No one at the start had the slightest Idea that the Christmas ship project would attain such mighty proportions and meet with such a tre mendous response. Its success shows how It has touched the hearts of all classes of our people. Why bother about platforms? Look what happened to that solemn Baltimore declaration that pledged free tolls for coastwise shipping, a one term presidency, fealty to civil service, re ductlon la government expenditure, and all the rest People and Events The bugs of summer have been ban tered to their winter cemeterlea, but tha bughouse does buslneei all tha time.

Tha way soma of them screamed because their pay waa docked for loafing outnlde the reservation put them on a dead level with thoae whose ray envelope Is flattened by Illness. Tho "holler" In both caaea Is pitched In the same key.
