But do not make the mistake of considering

campaign rhetoric, "Thereneverwasatlraelnthe-

That exhibit of a 120,000 surplus of unex-J-fended

Washington Is not calculated to stimulate dona

"As Is usual In every political campaign, the

My! 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.

The Prohibitive Price of War.
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

A PRAYER.

Judd M. Lewis In Houston Post.
God of the warring nations,
God of the ways of peace,
Hark to the pleas of women
And bid the warfare cease!
Hark to the prayers of children,
Their small hands lifted up,
And from the world forever
Remove this bitter cupl
In years of peaceful living
Thy servanta have forgot
The grief tha't follows carnage,
And now their blood grown hot.
They challenge each the other,
And with no heeding for
The neck laced arms of loved ones
They clatter forth to war.
Oh. God remove this madness.
And make Thy servants su et
Removo the fields of carnage,
Where wounded and where slate
Are tramped to gory remnants!
Our God, of war and peace.
Remove from men their blindness
And bid the warfare cease! (
A wife stands all forsaken
And peers into the storm.
Above the smoke of battle
She marka the vultures swarra.
No lovedfone hears her pleading
And to her succor files
Beside where she stands weeping
A baby starves and dies.
God, lift the burden from them
Who bear the burden most!
God, touch the hearts of rulers!
God, turn each warring host
From ways that lead to slaughter
Back to the paths of peace!
God, hear the plaints of women
And bid this warring cease! .
