If the people really want It, tha short baljot ran.be bad with or without a constitutional convention, and with or without the help of the law-makers. In these days of independent and Individual judgment, tha "awallow-it-whoje" and "vote-'er-atralght" talk does not have the sama appeal aa formerly. The way to make aura of stopping tha jail feeding graft la to take the job of feeding the prisoners away from the grafters by electing an other sheriff. Why dispute over the question whether suf frage carries Jury service with It. If suffrage la a right, so must also be Jury service. If not, both must b merely matters of expediency. Really, it's aphame that this school board fumpua should create such a disturbance be tween democratic brethren who used to pat on another on the back on every occasion. Another plac vher President WJlson shows a long bead la la issuing; his Thanksgiving day proclamation in advance of the election, and taking no chances on what the returns may dis close. . Our good fellow cltlien who thinks It neces sary to have a biasing sign designating to the traveler nterlng the city that this Is Omaha, seem to us to be unnecessarily agitated.

Bpoonrif has raturned from a three-weeks' visit with tier parents la Illinois Mrs. Alvln Kaunders la bak from a visit to hei uausiiier. airs, jiartiaon. at Jtelena. Mont. A Greater University of Nebraika. The position of The Roe favoring the up building by ,liraka of a great slate university, consolidating Its cnerg, resources and activi ties Instead of keepjng them divided as at pres ent beta op n the downtown campus and the sub urban agricultural college, ass clearly define.! when the subject was before the legislature. It appeared to us that from every point of view efficiency, economy, rlean surrounding", room to grow and harmonious and adequate housing the one course conducive to real and lanting progress was to give tip the downtown campus In favor of the agricultural college location. This Is conceding that the university is to stay forever in Lincoln, being transplanted merely from a corner In an undesirable district of wholesale house and railroad yards to the cen ter of an , attractive residence suburb Just as much a part of Lincoln. Had the legislature taken it upon itself to decide, consolidation would have been decreed. Rut Instead, under pressure of Interested real eHtate speculators eager to sell land adjoining the prenent campus at fancy prices, the brow beaten law-makers levied the necessary tax to pay the cost, and left It to be decided by popular vote whether the money should be spent to build tip and develop one greater and consolidated university or to maintain and enlarge the two present institutions separated by a distance of a few miles. , The noisy and lavish campaign waged by the antl-consolldatlonlsts has brought out nothing, so far as we have observed, to counteract the arguments and reasons for consolidation, but. on the contrary, has strengthened them by show- Ing that only sordid considerations call for keeping a part of the university down town. The promoters of the campaign on behalf of the real estate owners and boarding house keepers have overcome thoir Job In Its effect upon un biased and thinking people, whatever may have been the influence upon those who Jump at merely superficial conclusions. After providing $2,500,000 for the creation of a great state university that would put Ne braska In the forefront of higher education, even among its wideawake neighbors, it would be a pity to sacrifice the opportunity just to help somebody sell a few lots, and hold. the stu dents under Iho shadow of tbe big stores and pleasure resorts seeking to profit on their patronage. Side Lights on the War, A Glimpie More Reassuring. Overwhelmed as we of the United States have been with the awful picture of misery an. I distress abroad as the result of the war, it is gratifying to learn from dispatches that there arc places In the war xone where the lot of non- combatants is almost normal; where business is proceeding and good spirits prevail. It Is also gratifying to know, as the Great Eastern Rail way Magazine of London discloses, of the aid given by large corporations to their soldier em ployes and their families. This railway poeted a "Notice to Stare at the outset of the war. beginning thus: It has been decided that the' wives and families of me,ri volunteerlna for snrvlce In tha army and navy, aa well as thus who are called up for service either as reservists or torrltotials, shall be given such allow ances by the company, supplemented by the personal contributions of the directors, officers and staff, aa 111, With government pay, toe sufficient for their maintenance during the time such man are with thu color. i On their return those who survive the war th employes will be reinstated In their old positions or others as near equivalent as possi ble. , No doubt similar policies are being pur sued by other targ concerns In England and In the other countries at war, by which the mis eries entailed will be mitigated as much as possi ble. In Oermuny, which Is said to be feeling the effect of tbe war at borne less than any country, old age pensions are universal, so that dependent w ar victims may be certain of at least a substantial measure of care and relief. This, of course, will figure vitally In meeting subsequent Issues. Foster for Police Judge. Three years ago The Bee proposed and recommended th candidacy of Charles E. Foster for police judge. On the record he has made he haa been renominated on the republican ticket for another term, and we are glad to re new our recommendation to the voters to mark their ballots tor Foster for police judge. ' In that trying position, nobody can suit everybody, and nobody has complained of anything in Judge Foster's administration of his orflce that goes further than a difference of opinion. Th charge of absenteeism is trumped up for merely political effect. Th on thing that stands out la that, aa police magistrate, Judge Foster has mad good and la entitled to endorsement at tbe polls. ompaalonaklp of Soldiers. W. T. Cnrkcr, writing In "American Notf n Minlch," has this to say of the comradeship of the I'Httlefleld. " l--h Mntt Einen Kamersden.' We have h'ar I this sung so often of late. IVrhnpa n- song Is more popular among the soldiers aa they march through the xlrrrts W remember particularly the stirring "f our emotions as t lie words 'In die llilmat, In die Hrlmat' ring out. "The comrade on the battlefield l the link between the Vstcrland battling for tho Individual sol-lter. The comrade and I-r-one of us may remain forewr In an unknown grave, the ottwr may rtirn home. Th-j stern nceesltles of war, and the personal ties of frh ndshlp and home affei tlon, are graphically d--Plcted In the strophes of t'hland. "We picture the (i-rman army as mighty, force ful. Impersonal ma-lilno, sending Its soldiers to the harse almost as m- re atoms In the national forward sweep. Yet In the mldat of all ti ls machine-like movement the touch of the friend's hand, the horn" tl, Is not lost. "In one of the severe battles of the Inst week of AiiRiist friends were fighting side by side. All th previous nlrht thev had lain on their arms fearing poselbla attack. At 6:7) the action began and lasted throughout the day. .'oddenly one of th three was shot through the breast and arm. I had always thought that the tide .of battle Ir. such an event would sweep over the fallen aoldler, leaving him of necessity on the battlefield "Not so In this case. The two friends picked un the fallen comrade and brought him to the fiek laxaret. Then they sought to regain their mtn regi ment, but It hsd gone on. They could only Join aome other reslmeot and In time work ba--k to their own meanwhile being reported as 'vermlsst.' "This Is friendship on the battlefield But It went further and brought a letter from one comrade to the parents of the wounded aoldler. The latter, hlm-s-lf, after being wounded, had written home in rramed handwriting, saying nothing about hls acci dent, with simply a reference to those 'wounded for the Fatherland. ' Not till afterwards could the parents read between the llnea and reallre the son's solicitude for their feelings. "After all, friendship snd home are the rent power behind the guns." Fa mo n a War Prtaoa. Everybody who has read "Monte Crlsto" or seen It acted will remember the Chateau d'll. the fearaoma prison from which Dumas' sailor hero. Edmond Duntes, escaped In a sack after having talcen the place therein of his fellow prisoner and counselor, the Abble Karl a. Lovers of the story may be Interested to hear that the famous chateau, which stands on an Island In Marseilles harbor and was a fortress before it became a prison, Is. owing to the war, once more In use as a place of detention after having been for many years a show place. "I have Just steamed around it." writes a cv.tc spondent st Marseilles, "and espied several melancholy black figures In French uniforms on the battlements. They are guarding Oerman prisoners. Outside the door of the central fort were three monks, and along th'i winding path to the landing stage was a thick dark coll of prlsorers. In the offing was a red French ship taking up a fresh hatch of prisoners from a small boat for conveyance to Algiers. It was a tllent, gloomy picture, but no one could tell me whether the famous old dupgeonsi sre still beinr used." Lessons In neoaraphy. Within the last several days much has been writ ten of IlxmiKle and of Nleuport, which can hardly be found on the maps, and are not so Insistent as '.4 attract the attention of great cyolopedlste even to the extent of minute paragraphs.. The former is on the Yser river, a creek whjch one could almost span with a Jump; yet It Is said to "divide the contending forces." Dlxmude Is a town of less than 4,010 popula tion whose only distinction Is that It has one fine church. It Is about twelve miles north of Ypres, where also there has been fierce fltxtng for many days. ' Nleuport fFlemlsh Kleuwpoorn is a doien nillee northwest of Dixmudo and ten miles southwest of Dunkirk at the mouth of the little river Y per lee,, and having a hit of a harbor on the North Bea. . It may be counted by th Hermans a way station on tho roaJ to Invasion of England from some point on th channel, but It Is worthless for any military purpose, It would be said, until the Invaders are sure of Dun kirk. Nleuport Is a fishing village of about 3,000 popula tion. Roats for fishing fleets are built there, as they are at all of the channel towns and cities, but it Is lacking In all the means of defense and offense, and must simply be thought on more of the many little towns In West Flanders to be sacrificed on tha horrid altar of war. It has an Interesting history, like all of the towns and cities of Flandsrs, which became historic hun dreds of years before West and East Flanders were finally liewn from ancient Flanders to become alum! the fairest provinces of modern Belgium. Cordagx and ropa and netting are mad at Nleuport for tlis fishermen. A notable cloth hall datee from 14M, and a lighthouse yet glows which was finished In 12KI. It wbs here, moreover, that the famous "Battle of the Dunes" was fought In July, Pioo. when Miiurlce of Nassau defested the Hpsnlanls. (rlmmeat Army Corps. In all the world there la only one army the Oermnn that carries Its war preparations to such a state ..f completeness aa to havo a special corps of grave lii. t gets, who accompany the army In the field for this grim tssk alone. They were formed for the Fran-'o-Oerman war of l7n, and their appearance' was s source of smasement to the older generation of sol diers of Europe, who could not understand such "spclalixatan." Another feature of the German military systsm Is the requirement that all soldiers should wesr around their necks labels with their names, regiment and rank. In the event of death these are useful for purposes of Identification, and In rase of Injury th) reverse aide is used aa a form on which the surgeons attached to the field hoapttal Jot down details of She patient's Injuries and any special guidance of the surgeons at the base hospitals. Prod the Paring Contractors. City commissioners are quoted aa explaining that th reason for so much delay lo street pav ing this autumn is failure of contractors to pro ceed with tbe work under th specifications call ing for high-grade material. The contractors, they say, of course do not come right out and admit their real reasons, but beat about the bush so as to effect delay, which haa the game result. Further,, the commissioners affirm that certain contractors hope by staving off the work long enough they may be able to pull a bigger profit out of it. Without passing on th validity of th com missioners' claims, this seems plain enough, that th city authorities must have ths power to com pel action by the paving contractors. Let them cither be made to do the work they bargained to do or forfeit the bonds put up for that pur pose. Why should property owners, who want tbelr streets paved, be made to bear the brunt ofth situation? Nobody will deny that paving contractors often resort to devious methods to advance their own selfish schemes, but after all tbe taxpayers and public must deal -with th city commissioners and not th paving contractors. People and Events Th Third Nebraska district is enjoying a genuine surprise in the vigorous congressional campaign that is being made by O. S. 8plllman. the republican nomine, who Is making It decid edly Interesting for his democratic opponent. Th Third district haa an opportunity to get back on the map by electing Spillman. which it should not pass up. "Louder, please'" called a man in a crowd whan former President Taft was registering ss a voter In Connecticut. The free and easy national trait appears to flourish In tha Nutmeg state. Boston courts hsve hoonfed the penalty for "mashers" to ST!. That's the slse of the touch for first offenders. Second performsnces are rewsrded with Jail terms. This Is the accepted stiason for fires In seaside hotels and other unprofitable vacaticlra. But Insur ance men are happy, nevi thelnss. They have final lip a plan for slipping the war tas over on th fellow who ays the premium. Tom Edison vigorously boosts the "Made In Amer ica" slogan. "We have become too m,n u a nation of assemblers," he says. "It hss been too essy for us to Import our materials This Kunan war cam alnnj to teach us to depend on ourselves.

A Virginia doctor who went to rt Louis and had his appendix removed astonished the surgeons by losing his heart In the subsequent proceedings.

Si.--To the Editor of The Bee: "The league of Taxpayers" Is printing paid advertisements sgalnst the proiiosed constitutional amendment No. 1. This organisation Is also Issuing statements declaring that this amend ment Is a dlfgulsed attempt to tax church property, put all the tax on the mer chants, put all taxes on the fsrmcrs and to establish the single tax, all at one fell swo"P. This Incoherent bunch of contradictory charges la tt puerile to deserve not'ee were It not for the fact that special In terests are attempting by this method to deceive the voters on the eve of election. No change can be made In the present taxation laws, undrr which tax dodging has become more common than burglary; without smending the constitution. All tax dodgers are opposed to amendment No. 1. Well Informed clllxens who favor reform In taxation will vote "yes" on this amendment. C. O. CUNNINGHAM. President Omaha Economic League. E. B. TFCKERMAN. JR.. President I,lncolnEconomlc League. Separate Legislative Districts. OMAHA, Oct. 28. To the Editor of The Bee: In campaigning through the county I encountered considerable criticism over the fact that under present conditions the country districts are unable to secure rep resentation In the legislature. To secure Justice In representation for the outlying districts I believe the next legislature ought to create senatorial and representative districts on the present ap portionment basis. By this means every, section of tho county would have repre sentation upon a fair and equitable basis. This would also be a move in the direc tion of the short ball-, which you are advocating, and which all progressives are demanding. For by this method each voter would have to choose but one sena tor and one or two representatives. In atead of. as now, five senators and twelve representatives. L. J. QL'INBY. Still More About Isgsr. OMAHA. Oct. ?. To the Editor of The Bee: I seldom reply to critics, giv ing the truth as I see It and accepting the Judgment of the public, favorable or unfavorable. Mr. Snyder, however, so ridiculously misrepresents me I feci I ought to expose him. I did not say or Intimate that boll-weevil destroys sugar cane, as he Intimates, but i did say boll-weevil, Insects, rust, drouth, etc., had been so overworked to bull the market thst the public no longer paid much v attention to such arguments. I meant to show that Mr. Dickinson's ad verse conditions were of this character, and so Bee readers understood me all except Mr. Snyder. 1 did not say that Germany is th only country producing sugar in Europe, r know other countries product it. but mostly for home consumption, while Germany almost controlled the world market. This is the, reason 1 alluded solely to that country, I did not say that cane and beet sugar differ chemically or physically, but I did say cane sugar la better than beet sugar, because r.early all housewives tell ma so and because It Is always about .") cents per hundred dearer than bent sugar. I said cane sugar can b produced bet ter and cheaper than beat sugar, and t say so still. Four tons of beets to the sere are considered a good crop in Wis consin; What it Is elsewhere I do not know, but I am safe in saying the crop never exceeds five tons per acre, which at II per ton would amount to 130 per ucre. This same land produces from fifty to seventy bushels of corn per acre, worth 00 cents per bushel say $W per acre, with much less cost In culti vation. Is It any wonder farmers re fuse to raise sugar beets? . The sverage crop of sugar cane per sere is fifteen tons faee Encyclopedia Brltanlca). The amount of sugar per. ton does not differ greatly from that of beets, and hence the cane crop, with out cultivation for years, Is worth three times as much per acre as the beet crop. As a matter of fact, beet sugar nevur has and never can comete w)th cane sugar. It never would have been made but for a heavy bounty In Enrope and a heavy tariff In the I'nlted States. Fighting nature Is a costly business. W hen cane sugar la admitted fre Into the I'nlted States the production of beet scgar will cease, unless ths government subsidizes the Industry. Cnder tho Dlngley tariff SI 90 pr hundred, refined sugar was often retailed at 5 cents per pound rlKht here In Omaha. Now sub tract the tariff 1 -0 cents from S cents and you can sell sugar at S 1-10 cents with as much profit as you could under the Dingley tariff at 5 cents. It is. therefore, nothing to mske fun of, but a reasonable anticipation, that sugar ran be retailed at 4 cents a poun 1 after 191. p. c. jUHN Letters from tllil.ol u. . .. - SOMEWHERE. Oct. 29,-To the Editor of The Bee: My last two letters were sent to your paper within twenty-four hours of each other with the dates blank to be filled in by the editor, aa is mv custom. They were published In sn In verted order from thst intended by the writer. This explanation la due to vour readers. This lettter finjshes all 1 have to say on Mexico, for the present, ,t least. There appears to be a movement on foot to attempt h Protestant evangelisation of Mexico. Witness the last assemblage and unification of Protestant mission aries In the I'plted Stsses, on leave of absence from Mexico prolonged un Plessantness. Dvubtless the present secretary of state is friendly to such a movement. But It will never succeed. Uellglon Is racial and isothermal. In Europe Protestsntlsm never throve be low the Alps and Pryanees; and It never will. The Itln Is either a ritualist or rationalist. The only formidable rival Catholicism, can have In Mexico is Mormanism. The Mnrman claims that Christ made, a sec ond apiarance In the western' hemi sphere after his ascension In the esstern hemisphere; anJ the Identification of Quetaacoatl, the Astee god of the air. with the Nasarlne appeals to the Im agination of the credulous Mexican. Carranaa doe not object to the Cath olic priests aa auch'. but wishes to abol ish the confessional. He does not strike at auricular confession, but at the con fessional Itself. Thst Is tantamount to abolishing the church Itself. The reason given by the Mexican statesman (sic) Is that th priests advised their penitents to support Huerta. They followed their Blaster. The ' Naaaren advised pay In c tribut to Tiberius; and Paul counseled otedleno to Nero. "Thou Shalt not curse th ruler of )hy people." "Render to Caessr the things thst art Caesar's."' "The powers that b are o-dslned of Ood." Thrse sit all Protestant tests' literally quoted.
