The lhity of the Voter.
While we have been having the question vig
orously debated whether suffrage is a "right" or
a "privilege," no one denies that rosnesslon of
the suffrage carries with It the duty to exercise
It. From the (standpoint of the number of of
fices to be filled, and the number of Issues to be
voted on, the election today in Nebraska is the
most Important election ever held in this state.
For the first time we are voting under our new
biennial elections system, whereby we are to
choose, at a single rtroke, men to fill all the
offices formerly voted on In two separate and
successive annual elections. It is also the first
time we are choosing our Judges by a nonpar
tisan form of ballot. In addition, we have four
amendments to our fundamental law and three
Initiative and referendum measures to be ac
cepted or rejected by popular vote a greater
number, with one lone exception, than ever be
fore simultaneously submitted In this stale.
Proportionately, therefore, the tsk of the voter
is greater, and the duty to vote intelligently and
conscientiously all the more urgent.
Welcome to 8chool Teachers.
"Omaha Is once more honored with the enter
tainment of the annual convention of the State
Teachers' association, and we are sure we voice
the sentiment of all our people in savins that
It la an honor and a privilege we very much
covet and value. If the teachers desired, we
should be glad to have them come here every
year for their annual meeting. They will find
this year, as on previous ocr.ssions, the city's
latch key hanging on the outside of the door for
their full and free use.
The school teacher Is as Important a factor
in American life as tho school, which is organic.
We cannot make too much of the Institution and
happily the American people know Ibis and are
making more of it every year. Tbey fully realize
that education, like Oenera Grant said of the
Bible, is s sheet anchor of their lives, and that
education to do Its greatest work must be free
and popular. This freedom Involves, not only
the matter of admission and tuition to pupils,
bat separation from all sordid or contaminating
Influences with which soms are ever alert to
surround it. If there Is one department of our
public life end activities that should be immune
to cllquelsm, factionalism, spoils, politics, It Is
our system of popular education. And the
dominating influence of every such convention
as thts one should be unmistakably against It.

Well Being of Human Kind.
The Rockefeller foundation was wisely built
upon the broad basis of "promoting the well
being of human kind throughout the world"
without restriction as to the kind of misfortune
or misery to be relieved. It Is thus free from
technics! redtape'to pursue Its great mission
among the innocent and defenseless victims of
wsr abroad, a mission more majestic than words
can describe. By the same token, it serves to
emphasize the proper place of war in the econ
omy of human existence against the "well be
ing of human kind throughout the world."
This stupendous philanthropy about to be
launched for the relief of millions of hungry
non-combatants the estimate calls for $1,000.
000 a month for seven or eight months to avert
starvation Is & terrible sentence to pass upon
the nations st war. It Is another and a mon
strous reminder or the fact that they. ItiBtead of
promoting the well. being of humanity through
out the world, sre doing all they can to delay
and defeat It.
Americans must be proud of the part their
country Is playing In thla horrible drama. Wo
are not only officially the one great neutral
power, but the storehouse from which comes
food for the starving snd clothing for the naked.
There Is a democracy of sorrow in such s. situa
tion that ought to bind us still closer together
as dtliens and patriots, as friends and neigh
bors, snd help us to see the awful possibilities of
class feeling, of race hatred, or sordid selfish
ness or passion of any kind. In the millions of
the Rockefeller Foundation, the Individual gifts
borne by the ChrUtmas Ship and all other money
and means for relief sent from our country to
the non-combatants of Europe, we, have right
to clslm proof of a fay greater, power, a much
superior fores resident in our nation than dom
inates today any of the mighty monarchies v at

Newman drove Reporter: The Omaha Bee favoia
the abolishment of the office of county coroner. Tha
contention Is that tha work of thla office ahould be
done hy the enerlff and county attorney, where it
properly belong. Come to think of it. theee officials
have more to do with coroner's canea than tha cor
oner does, when any kind of action la found neces
sary, so It appeara logical that they should have
full charge of such cases and get their Information
direct.
Trkamah Journal: The Omaha Bee haa given
over a portion of Ita space to woman suffrage litera
ture for the balance of the time until election. Th
Beo and Its editor have been the object of more or
leas unjust condemnation on many propoaltlona an1
we suppose it won't he given credit for this advanced
move. '
Aurora Advocate: The Omaha Bee atatea our po
sition mighty welf on the Ignoring of primary electlone
by the "pt-tltlon route" when it says: "Attorney Gen
eral Martin holds that although a candidate filing
for nomination subscribes to an oath that he will
'abide by the reault of the primary,' there la nothing
legally to prevent him from having his friends file
him afterwards by petition as a candidate for tha
aame office In the election. That may be law, but a
man who drawa cards In a g-entlemen'a game la ex
pected to play according to the rules or not at all."
Syracuse Journal The Omaha Bee places Syracuse
and Broken Bow In the front rank aa to liberality In

Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee favora the aboli
tion of the office of atate commissioner of publlo
lands and buildings, an office that haa become nearly
obsolete, "In the Interest of the ahort ballot." Posel
bly the office, which atlll exists under the constitu
tion, might he abolished In the Interest of publlo econ
omy, but the "Fhort ballot" Just for the sake of
ahortenlng tic ballot and giving the governor one
more appointive position to fill Is quite another thing.
Nebraska City Pre: One or two atate newspapers
took askance at the proposition to cut down the ballot
by reducing the number of elective offices, one, at
least, taking the view that the "short ballot" reform
meana more commissions and commission appoint
ments. The position la well taken, tf the proposed
law la not made strop enough. The Omaha Bee la
the pioneer in urging the "short ballot," and it Is
believed The Bee's Idea ia to make service and capa
bility a bar to removal from office by "political
winds." In other wards, tha civil service rules should
apply to any appointive office. By taking tne pontics
out of a Job In the atate houae or any county building
there would be no more Incentive for the holder of a
position to "Play peanut politics" than though he were
attached to a private enterprise. The "ahort ballot"
can be no worae than the situation at present, and It
won't coat a great deal to try It out at any rate.
Twice Told Tales
Omaha V Beauty Spots.
Some day our psopls will, come to realize
their Innate modesty, or whatever, they may
term their apparent failure to make more of the
many natural beauty 'spots surrounding the city
of Omaha. No one who takes time to ride out
through the suburbs, the parks snd adjacent
country, tf he has a particle of nature-love In
him, can help being impressed with the fact
that the Great Architect has created some
mighty pretty scenery for us right at our doors,
which we seem either not to appreciate or to
take in a very matter-of-fact way.
And these beauties appear never more at
tractive than In the autumn, which, really, is
an Ideal res son In Nebraska. Wander through
the forest hills of Florence, many of their little
pockets filled with coxy farm homes; or the
equally scenic heights overlooking the river on
the road to.Bellevue. or the Kairacres plateu,
the slopes of Fontenelle park, the quiet wood
lands of Miller park or Elmwood, to say nothing
of the parks nearer the heart of the city take
the time for such sights and then see If you do
not agree with us that we make too little of our
surroundings. We would' make more of them,
perhaps, If we would only do our duty better in
the matter of Improving roadways and boule
vards. This Is a work to which close attention
must be given without much delsy.
Tho ballot to be voted In Omaha at the im
pending election Is only eight and a half feet
long, and calls for some seventy erossmarks to
vote on each office and measure separately. Two
years hence, unless the short-ballot movement
naterlaiUea, it will require no leso than ninety
erossmarks. and at least a ten-foot strip of
psper.

tor ef The Bee; Please Inform me which
German emperor algned that "scrap of
paper," guaranteeing tho neutrality of
Belgium. A few details In regard to
this would he highly appreciated by
many of your readers. INQUIRER.
Note: The Belgium neutrality treaty
waa signed in 1839 with lbs king of Prus
sia aa party to it, and reaffirmed again
by treaty In 1870. The German constitu
tion makea the king of Prussia aa such
emperor of Germany. The demand made
upon Belgium for free paasage of German
troops at the beginning of the war, with
promise of reimbursement If granted, but
not If refused, is regarded as recognition
by the present Imperial government of
the neutrality treaty, whose suspension
was proposed.

Oyerdalaar Hallowe'en Praaks.
OMAHA. Nov. S.-To the Editor of The
Bre: The account of the man shooting
a boy In Council Bluffs as the result of a
Hallowe'en prank reminds me of a
"prank" I aaw played or rather after It
was played at Forty-first street and
Lafayette avenue Saturday night. Half
a doaen boys, all old enough to know
better they ranged. I should suppose,
from 1J to IS years carefully procured
some good sized logs and laid them
across Lafayette avenue in such a way
a a to cause serious damage to any
vehicle whose driver might not see the
obstruction. Tt would have been very
easy, under certain clrcumatances, tt
have maimed or killed aome one. Tet. I
suppose, had any man seen the boys put
the logs there and taken It on himself
to reprove them he would have got into
all aorts of trouble for his pains. And,
no doubt, some grown-ups might have
taken the boys' side snd argued for an
unrestrained licensee "let the boys have
their fun on Hallowe'en night. Boya al
ways have and always will crlehraia
thla occasion." Many parents do not be
lieve in restraining their children on
Hallowe'en, -but the police can't patrol

could. If they would, help a lot. E. U D.

Wot a Minor Office.
OMAHA. Nev. x.-To the Editor of The
Bee: I notice some discussion as to the
length of the ballot at the ensuing elec
tion. Unfortunately thts would affect
what are commonly called the minor of
fices.' '
Among these are the offices of the 1us
tleae of the peace. Aa a matter of fact
there la po such thing as a minor office,
because all offices are of Importance to
the public, or a large proportion of the
public. Thla la especially true of the
Juatice of the peace. This office, being
by common acceptation considered a
minor office, la put at the bottom of the
ballot Thla Is just as important an of
flee as any other, if not more so, for
the reason that that la the common or
poor people's court. In which mattera are
litigated, although small in amount, are
ef great importance to the litigants.
As a general rule, people who have
cases In a court of the Juatice of the
peace are those who cannot afford ex
pensive litigation, therefore the law pro
vides that any one, hether ha be a law
yer or not, can conduct the case, makitvr
it necessary that men of known ability,
honesty and Integrity ahould be elected
to the office.
Another reaaon why the office of jua
tice of the peace la extremely Important
la that a great deal of litigation arises
In the first Instance in that court.
I dealre to call the atttcntion of the
voters to this Important office, so that
they may not fall to vote In spite of the
length of the ballot.

Deceptions ( Aatl-Conaolidatloalata
OMAHA. Oct Sl.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Should the vote favor university
consolidation it will be largely because
of the unfair campaign that haa been
waged by the Campus Extension com
mittee. The slogan "Shall we move the
university and waste tS.000.0OD" la a re
flection on the Intelligence of the voters
of Nebraska. It Is a matter of public
record that the land In the down town
campus. Including the oew athletic field
la inventoried by the regents at $221,80
and the buildings on the down town cam
pus. Including the temple, afe Inventoried
at S743.U1. making a total for the build
in ga and land of 99D6.Z31. And yet wa
are going to waste 13,000,000 If we eon
sol Mats on the farm.
After visiting other state universities,
and after a thorough Investigation of the
cost of consolidation on the farm, the
Board of Regents In a unanimous spe
cial report to the governor and the last
legislature stated that the amount re
quired for the present and growing needs
ef the university waa 12,500,000. That
amount waa fixed by the resident Lincoln
regents and yet the Campus committee
constantly states that thla requeat was
for over !6,000,00u-dellberate, wilful rnia
repreaentatlon. The campua committee well knows that
the regents hsve not the slightest desire
to add to the CO acre farm we already
have, and yet they are constantly 'atat
Ing that we Intend to buy &30 acres addi
tional. For wilful misrepresentation there haa
probably never been Issued anything equal
to tha arguntenta In the voters' pamphlet.
The very first page ahowa a eut of t'nl
veratty hail, underneath which It states
"University hail. Cost 115,000. Removal
means Its abandonment and waste."
The Campua committee well knows that
thla building haa bean condemned and
that it will be the flrat one to be torn
down In rase tha university remains en

their Intent that the people shall be de

Hup Winter Tops a Hit
"Business is exceptionally good
for this season." said the manager
of the Cadillac Company of
Omaha, local Hupmobile dealer,
yesterday.
. "For one thing, the extraordi
nary value bf the new Hup' Is ap
parent at a glance. That makes
sales. . . .. ';
"Another big (actor is the de
tachable sedan top for the tour
ing car and the coupe top for the
roadster.
"Instead of building permanent
closed cars this year, the Hupmo
bile factory designed these de
tachable tops' giving the ' new
Hup owners what amounts to two
cars at practically the price of
one.
"These tops are well-built,
beautifully, finished inside, ana
perfectly weather-tight.
"They are going to keep more
Hups In commission all winter
than any other one thing possibly
could.
"Almost every buyer of a new
Hup orders one of these tops,
along with it. That's a sure sign
they are what the people want"
