Kanssi City's New Union Station.
Representatives of Omaha's commercial
bodies are recipients of Invitations to the formal
opening exercises of Kansas City's new union
pasBnfrer station, which, according to all de
scription!), will rank among the. largest and fin
est In this country. The project. Involving the
expenditure of over $40,000,000, not only pro
vides ample accommodations for all the rail
roads entering the city, but Includes the con
struction of a belt line, sepsration of all grades
with streets within the limits of improvements
on existing lines, tbe building of two new freight
yards, four local freight houses, and one new
team track yard. Work on this great enterprise
has been prosecuted actively for the last four
years, and Is now practically all completed with
the exception of a few minor features.
While Kaunas City Is to be congratulated on
what marks a great forward step in its trans
portation facilities and commercial prestige, it
furnishes a reminder to Omaha that a modern
union passenger station must be on the program
of the near future for our city. While the pres
ent moment, It Is true, may not be auspicious for
initiating such a pretentious project, plans must
be laid well ahead, and no good reason exists
why the' preliminary steps should be deferred
for any great length of time. Conceding that
our present passenger stations were creditable,
and even anticipatory, when erected, they are
now being fast outgrown and are already inade
quate by comparison. The movement for a
greater and more attractive Omaha must include
a new union passenger atatlon among its founda
tion stones.
South African Rebellion
Another Short Ballot Argument.
Another short ballot argument, although
perhaps not so vital to the principle of efficient
popular government, will be found In the need
less Increase of tbe work of counting and can
vassing, with consequent delays In making pub
lic the election returns. The burden on the
voter here in Omaha to mark five separate and
distinct ballots, one of them eight and a half
feet long, is as nothing, to the burden on the
election boards to count and tabulate the marks
on these ballots. The number of Items on. which
returns are called for candidates for the dif
ferent offices and affirmatives and negatives on
Initiative and referendum measures totals 261,
with possible additions tor names written In on
the blank spaces. Since we have 120 voting dis
tricts in this county, tbe aggregate entries that
must be canvassed and footed will come close to
tbe appalling number of 80,000. We believe few
people reallte what a task thla entails just for
one county, although tbe largest In the state, and
there are ninety odd counties in Nebraska, with
approximately 1,700 voting districts. So we say
that from the mere standpoint of election
mechanics, a shorter ballot is more than ever an
Imperative necessity.
Tha Question of Personal Responsibility.
The Indictment of twenty-one director and
former directors of tha New Haven railroad on
tbe charge ot maintaining a monopoly in re
straint ot trade, brings to a, crucial test tha per
sonal application ot the criminal clause ot the
Sherman law. With an uncompromising prose
cution the country ought to know by the finish
ot these trials to what extent the power of this
provision may reach tha individual through the
corporation. There is little doubt In tbe popular
mind as to .the. need of personal responsi
bility or the soundness of the principle that the
individual must be held accountable for the acts
of a corporation of which he Is a part. Nor have
we had to. wait on the New Haven case for a
demonstration of the principle, but not as yet
have we had so notable and impressive, a test as
this will furnish chiefly because of the number
and prominence ot the men Indicted. But tha
people ot thia country, even under such provoca
tive circumstances, do not demand punishment
ao much as Justice. If, therefore, the result of
the celebrated New Haven case Intrenches the
principle of personal responsibility and finally
defines tha limits of the criminal clause of this
'law, the people, regardless of personal fates or
misfortunes, will bo satisfied. What the country
demands la aa and ot tba system at which tha
prohibitions of the law ara aimed.
Imports and Exports.
With ona sweep the war, by paralysing
European Industries, has sent American imports
down to tha minimum and exports up beyond all
record, Tha highest tariff wall any American
congress aver reared could .not compare la the
restriction ot foreign imports with tha barrier
automatically erected hy tha hostilities abroad.
Although this. has been apparent all along,
mora definite appreciation of the facts may be
had from a perusal ot tha latest government re
port ot our foreign commerce. For example, we
shipped to Europe in the month of September,
1914,' nearly $, 000,000 worttJ of foodstuffs
alone, as compared with leas than IS9.000.000
In September, 19 18. We shipped eleven tiroes
as much fresh beef this September than a year
ago, eight times as much canned beef and mora
than thirteen times as much refined sugar.
The immediate effect of all thia to us is tha
return of much of the gold that we sent to
Europe In tha early stages of tha war. gold
which facilttatea the payment of our foreign ob
ligations and checks impairment cf our gold
supply. But this vast increase Is not all gain.
Much of It Is simply losses recovered. Like
every other natlo., neutral or not, wa hava suf
fered and will continue to suffer, heavy losses
from this war, so that these return tides of gold
In exchange for our provisions ara far from be
ing entirely new gain.
But what la the outstanding lesson ot all
these great figures, if not this, that Europe,
aa well as the Unltea States, should rejoice that
we are holding aloof from the war. It we be
came Involved, what other country could do
what Is left for us toward feeding and clothing
the hungry and naked? In this fact alone ara
the Jingoes discredited and the pessimists eon
founded. Those high salaried singers who we're com
pelled, because of the war, to ride la beg cars
will now be much more sympathetic for the. poor
music lover forced to stand up through the whole
performance In tbe suffocating atmosphere at
tbe back of the top gallery.

laloa aad HeHel Leaders.
The strant bedfellows brought Into Mew by the old
world war are mora numerous but no more startling
than the divisions produced among people hitherto an
friendly ttrms. The most conspicuous Instance of
divided households Is seen la South Africa, where
two noted leader of the Beeie In the war against the
Enallsh Invaders of 1WU-1900 are now leading armed
force against each other. General Louie Botha, pre
mier of the t'nion of Bouth African States, has taken
the field SKalnst General Christian Vt Wet, leader of
the latest and most dsngereua revolt against British
power. The rebellion started by Colonel Merits ap
pears to have been summarily crushed and the rem
rmnts of the rebels driven back Into Oerman territory.
Tha strength of the rebellion headed by General De
Wet la unknown, but It may be assumed that he has
a following of sufficient strength to warrant the step
ha has taken. In tha Boer war of fourteen years ago,
when both fouaht side by side to maintain the Inde
pendence of the Boer republic. General Botha woa
distinction as commander and fighter, and Cene-al
De Wet's energy and resourcefulneea as a cavalry
commander caused admirers to hall Mm as "tho
Sheridan of the Veldt."
Tha noted Irish leader. Michael Davltt. who re
signed from the British Parliament as a protott
against the Boer war, went to South Africa as a cor
respondent and accompanied several divisions of the
Boer army throughout the campaign. In his book,
"The Boer Fight for Freedom," Mr. Davltt give the
following personal sketches of the two Borr leaders,
comrades In 1H, enemies today.
Oeaeral Loale Botha. X
"Loui Botha comes of a fighting stock. His
patsmal grandfather Wa a captain In tha Frenen
navy, though of German origin. He emigrated to
South Africa and settled down to a farming life,
married a Dutch lady, and became one of the Boers
In their aspirations for a national existence in the
land of their adoption, and in their distrust of English
rule and rulers.
"Louis Botha was born at Vrade, in the Orange
Free State. Ilia father had fought in all the native
wars waged by and agaiaat tha Dutch settler, and
bequeathed a patriotic record to his five sons, who
have all held command in the present war. Loui

of peaceful life to tho tumult and passion of warfare,
but who would hirk from no hangar nor sacrifice

"Da Wet I of unmixed Dutch extraction, slid wa

of tha inourabla hypocrisy of tha English aa ruler

Penalising the Ianoeejtt.
Much criticism has been directed at the Germs a
army for th rule rigorously enforced n the present
war of destroying towns whoa Inhabitant are guilty
of "sniping" German soldier. By thi rule th tnno
eent Invariably suffer more than th guilty. The
rul Is not a aew one In war reprisal. la th book
quoted above, Mr Davltt print an order by General
Robert,- commanding the British foree la Sotitrt
Africa, penalising attack n th railroad or rail
road train by th destruction ef the farmhouse Beer
eat tbe point of attack and the country stripped of
tock for a radlua of ten mile. "Th ilrlt and letter
of th code of civilised warfar were specifically
and audaciously violated by such orders, and th law
of savage, vindictive vandalism substituted," com

I HOOPER, Neb.. Nov. S.-To the Editor
i of The Bee: About the time rou recetv
this commanicatlon th voter ef Omaha
a 111 be dragging long strip of peper into
lection booths for th purpoe of recording-
their preference for csndldatea
whose names appear thereon. Many of
the voters will be tightened at the task
before them and dispose of It If) the short
est and quickest wsy possible, regard
less of consequences. They will make a
mark la the circle opposite th parly
name of the party with which, they af
filiate. Now, the point I with to make 1 this:
Th law doe not say th ballot shall be
a long atrip of paper, hut It doe ay the
"arrangement of the various group"
rhall t uniform and conform a near
possible with tha schedule given In the
statutes. If a farmer were to build a
barn with all the stalls arranged or con
structed til a certain "form"' he would
net start on on end of hit farm and
built it In, a tingle file to the other end
jiuit because th stalls must all be the
Mtm In form. No. he would build barn
of a convenient length and then arrant
them side by tide. That 1 what a mart
of common tense wontd do, tid when
thote charged wit,h the preparation of
our ballot will use a little common sense,
they will do likewise. They will have re
gard for th convenience of the voter.
Besides the convenience there would be
a tremendous saving In th prlntlnr of
tbe ballots, as the entire ballot could be
printed at one run, regardless of else.
Nor would It be necessary to paste tlie
several part together. Th printer know
how to separate the tiers ao aa to make
it readily understood by the voter.
Tou advocate a short ballot There fa
no doubt about the desirability of i a
shorter ballot, but I am not prepared to
defend the desirability of the results of
such a ballot. I hav not given th mat
ter enough thought to discus it intelli
gently. - M. T. ZELLER8, M. D.

He It the must brutal vicious, aad foree
lour of all. animtl kind. He everywhere.
I possetsed of th twe meat damning of
all the patstona, jealousy and envy, the
parent of hat and malloe. Great civil
isation and it attendant, commerce, only
inflame and excite to activity these
vli pc)oru and war Is the consequence,
and this is the penalty we must pay for
these olstemper.
Europe I toeialistic or Idealistic and
this is, and always has in all the patt.
hqrn the same fruit. When the world
recover from these paroxysms ef ideal
istic government and theee fools Set back
on earth, we will again have peace for
a time t least, until this dream ef gov
ernment and soelgiittlc conditions is put
to tleep by the Oder of gun powder.

OMAHA, Nee. l.-rTo the Editor ef The
Bee: la the letter bog ef your lu ef
October St Mr. J. II. Norris, commenting
on the school board candidate and tha

"Why were only a fW satf.aapofnted

mittee and all ether xeudedT 1 tbl
answered by a recent announcement that
this same committee it already prepar
ing to wage a campaign in the spring
for city offlniale?"
Sir. Norris' second question evidently
refer to a resolution passed by th
Vnlted Improvement dub, which has no
connection whatever with th present
ciUxens' committee of school beard can
dldat. Th United Improvement clubs,
while endorsing the work ef tbe cttisen'
committee, realised that th committee
waa not a repreaentaUve body In that
lta selection was not in such a manner
a to give representation to tbe various
ciassea of voters, nor has It membership
been made publie. . ,
Practically tbe - same objections ware
trja of tha cit liana' committee .which
placed candidate before the people at
the city election three year ago.
The ucoea of our city depend almost
entirely on th united effort of. the va
rious Intcrettt of th city, especially tho
of a civlo, commercial and Industrial na
