By the way, what has became of that little late that used to cut so many funny caperiT And the wont beaten also-ran ii alwayi the fellow who waa moat cock-aura of hit election. With the long ticket, and the alow count, the later returna sometimes make it look different Colonel Henry Clay Richmond would move tip from the clerk's dtak to the apeaker'a chair, lt'a a' laudable ambition. Now for a quietus on that "gun-men" talk. Thla aort , of faking doea Omaha. Incalculable harm, and doea no one any good. One of the wonderful tralta of American character la reflected In the rapidity with which the people get. over en election. Not only la the republican elephant convales cent, but hla vacated sick bed has been Imme diately pre-empted by the bull moose. The election as county attorney of a Utah citUen 92 yeara old only goes to show that the west la still the place for young men of puah and pluck. 1 Up In 8outh Dakota It look a aa U every amendment and referred law aubmltted to popular yote ia defeated. There la auch a thing as overdoing It Russia contends that Ita forces are beating the Turks. The Turks aa stoutly declare they ax winning hands down. It may take a tight yet to settle the argument. The only woman candidate on the state ticket In Kansas, where the women vote, ran third, which again prompts the question, "What's the matter with Kansas?' It la suggested that the voters in Douglas county stood by Wilson. , Oh, forget It! They simply refused to stand by candidates who do not -command their confidence. It appears that our "Greater Omaha" joker waa left out of the Douglas county legialative deck thla time. Even Mabray'a victims got tired of being "miked" after a while. Why la not the effective play for all, women who want to vote to move west? Not one of the eleven states with constitutions giving them the ballet la east of the Missouri river. Nebraska's school laws will aland revision, and plenty of It, but all revision should be In the direction of simplifying, and not in the direc tion of making our school machinery more complicated. r fUMff cute CtqA The official ranvaas of the election returna. con ducted by County Clerk Leavltt. assisted by Lew la 8.

The Live Stock Situation. When the Chicago stockyards closed down because of the discovery of that deadly hoof and mouth dlaeaae among cattle, It was for a period of tea days, but the fear now la that ten days may by no means suffice to warrant re opening the yards. The dlaeaae seems to be more widespread than at first believed. It has been found to exist in other states besides those in which It was originally located. Yet every effort la being exerted to guard against Ita further spread and prolong the period of de pression. One of the remarkable features of the situation la the celerity with which the great machinery of the governmental inspection and treatment Is thrown Into action. The Importance of the live stock industry Is also emphasised by the government's action in sharing loaaea. which will mount up Into millions. It must be re membered that the average receipts at Chi cago alone are $1,250,000 in live stock, that 40,000 persons are employed In those yards. Multiplying this $1,260,000 by the number of days of Idleness gives some Idea of the scope of the situation. Then the comprehension' is al most staggered to think of other great packing centers, auch ss Kansaa City, Omaha, St. Louis being similarly affected. Thua far, we are happy to say, this Is not the case, and we will hope the immunity may continue until this cattle plague la stamped out. A Little-Plain Talking-. In the afterglow of the election it la time for a little plain talking. What we say, however, we want It distinctly understood, la with no de sire to "rub It In" on any one. but rather to point out a lesson or two which might other wise be overlooked. First and foremost, the vote cast in Omaha and Douglas county pro vet conclusively that tnlk about "a Third ward gang" being in control Icre la the veriest rot. After proclaiming that lie wanted no Third ward votee, Mr. Howell naturally got mighty few In that ward, but thla la a mere drop In the bucket. Mr. Howell lost' not only the Third ward, but also every other ward In the city of Omaha, Including his own 1 home ward, except two, of which he carried one by fifteen and the other by ninety and in ad dition he lost South Omaha and the country pre cincts. He received nearly 1,900 votes less In Douglas county than Governor Aldrlch polled two yeara ago, and Governor Aldrleh did not live in Douglas county. A "gang" might pos sibly dominate one or two wards, but only a diseased mind will imagine that a majority of the votes cast In the best residence districts of Omaha are controlled by any Third ward Influ ence. In the second ilace, the election Just held vaa held under the ao-called honest elections law, which, presumably, closed every avenue through which false registration,' colonization. repeating, or any apeciea of ballot box fraud could possibly be committed. After the election two yeara. ago, the defeated candldatea filled the air with cbargea of crooked work la the election booths, but no suspicion attaches to the conduct of the present election boards. Yet in the footings, Governor Morehead, who won out In Douglas county two yeara ago by 8.428 Is found to have actually increased his lead to $,822.. Obviously, it ia not the length of the ticket, nor the personnel of the election ma chinery, nor the counting of the ballot that ia the deciding factor when the people know what they want, and what they do not want. , In the third place, the burdea of any undesir able candidate on the ticket weights down the whole ticket, and endangers the other candi dates, who, without this handicap, would be ab solutely assurred or winning. On the face of the registration, Omaha and Douglas county are over whelmingly republican, and whenever a repub lican ticket Is presented that can command united party aupport, the votea here may be counted on to give decisive republican majorltiea. At to a State Commiiiioner of Education. With the move to abolish the office of state superintendent of Instruction, as well as4he of fice of county superintendent, aa elective of fices, The Bee is In hearty sympathy. The con version of these places Into appointive posi tions is part of our plan for shortening the bal lot. We see no more reason or argument for having these . educational position filled by popular election tbaa for almllarly chooalng city auperlntendenta, university chancellors, normal school presidents, or high school prin cipals by popular vote When It cornea to a recommendation for a nvike-ahlft commission or board, either atate or county, to b vested with the power to' appoint to these supervlalng positions, we are not ao aure we are In accord. Why haa the governor named a atate board to name a commlsaloner of education, when we now have all the executive euu auuiiuiBirauon maenmery oi government that we need, and more too? An appointed com missioner of education, if he Is the right kind of a man, can do the Job Just as well, and better, by hlmaelf, without any board of aupernumer ariea over hlra. , The good Count von Bernatorff remarks: The dermaa point of view Is that by Joining In a European .wax, Canada has put ttaelf outalda the peJe of the Monroe doctrine, but Germany haa not the Intention of attacking Canada, nor colonis ing Canada. Good! That still leavea intact the American point of view, which Is that no American coun try can put lUelf beyond the pale of the Monroe doctrine, ao long aa that doctrine contlnuea to exist. The universal decision by now seems to be this, that had one of the great powers of Europe desired peace aa much aa war, peace and not war would have enaued. It Germany, Russia or England had been aa bard to push Into the con flict as Italy, for example, the world might be at peace today.

Olldilen, a farmer of te Kalb, 111., waa gripped with tha Wea of makln wire frticM with barba en them, he didn't havo th flicker of a thought of the varltd uaes if the Mea In practical operation. What CUIdden wanted waa some aharp pointa on plain wire fencea which would make anlmala more cautloua about ruahlng eealnst the fnce. He didn't dream of the fortune which came to hint later, or that hla little pointed de vice would become factor In the mortality records Of war. The fact that It halted all living thtnera com mended It to military mm. and today barbed wire entanglements are quite common In the weatern lone of war In Europe. "And right here It may be aald," writes a corre epondnt of the New York. Times, "that aoldlera who have been halted by wire entanalementa while making a charge or maneuvering for a new poaltlon aay the devil never Invented anything nastier. Bulleta and bayoneta make wounds that cause no suffering or that ahock sensibility, but barbed wire tears and annoys and gives no escape. Ea rope Fellows America. "Poaaibllltlea seen by American military atudenta In barbed wire were soon carried to the armies of Europe, and engineers In every country In the world wera put to work devlalng means for uaing thla new device. Natural forerunners of the barbed wire en tanglement had been In use from the earliest tltnea. Roman aoldlera had defended their poaitlona with abatla. They had- held off their barbarian enemies by felling treea, sharpening tha enda of the branches, and maaalng tbem with their pointa turned away from the Eternal City. Fralaea sharp-pointed plies had been planted In the earth In front of armies for their enemies to wound themselves against or to hnlt the onrush of a charge till the piles could be remove! or scaled. "Then, later, as Europe advanced In wealth an3 more rnoney and skill were put into devices offensive and defanalve. the cheval-de-frlse came Into vogue, and up to the time barbed wire supplanted It military people looked upon It as highly effective in some cir cumstances. The cheval-de-frlse Is a log of wood, usually aquaxe. nine Inches by nine inches and twelve feet long. Through this log holes are bored six Inches apart, and Into thee holes aharp-polnted stakes of wood or Iron are driven. Thla makea a device thnt resembles a series of exaggerated sawbucks. At the end of the log are rings by which they may be locked together, making an obstruction of any desired length that cannot be rolled aside, cannot be vaulted oy cavalry or climbed by Infantry until tha stakes are broken off or bent aside. But the use of the cheval-de-frlse la limited. Like abatla and fralses, It Is valu able for guarding the approach to a permanent posi tion, where there la ample time for building and placing It' The cheval-de-frlse Is useful for barri cading a street or road, and till recently European armiea carried with them the materials snd artisans to put them together. The material for four cheva.-de-frlMS would be a load for two horses. A mile of the special, fine, steel barbed wire made for military purpoaea weighs from ninety to 100 pounds. And be H remembered that for cruelty and atrength this military wlro la a hundred times mora efficient than the ordi nary agricultural fence wire of commerce. Secrecy of Preaeat Methods. "Nobody outside of the European armies' now at war knows how they are using barbed wire entangle ments or In what form they are building them, for the englneera of each army are constantly devising new methods, and these new Ideas are not divulged, even In time of peace. But the dispatches tell of cav alry and Infantry running headlong Into meshea of unyielding steel thorns, that rouse the Imagination to tha horror of the wounds they Inflict One uae for barbed wire that seems to be new la reported from Belgium. There certain roads that It waa deairabli to have passable to tha people of the country were made Impassable to an army by building slgsag fences from aide to aide. The peasant, going to market, might pass by traveling slowly and double dlatance, but an army could not tread such a mate and must halt to destroy it "While tha European armiea probably have built entanglements on new plans, a description of how an entanglement might be effectively constructed. Issued for tho Instruction of the British army a few years ago, will give the layman an Idea of the effectiveness of such defenses. First tha ground to. be protected and over which the enemy must pasa Is laid off In five-foot squares. At each earner of each - square a post Is driven Into the ground till eighteen Inches re main above the aurface. Thla ayatem of aquarea ex tends indefinitely along the Una to be defended, and the common practice la to make It aix aquarea deep, thus insuring aa entanglement thirty feet wide through which the attacking forces must pass. The wire la strung from poat to post and fastened with rtaplea. Then other wires are atrung diagonally from posts to opposite corners, and criss-crossed again and again, till a network aa Intricate aa a bramble patch stands high enough from the earth to throw a horse or a man among the terrible ateel thorns. The staple, are nnl. driven home, nor are the wires stretched. If wirea were taut they could be cut with a aword or bayonet blow. Aa they are constructed the wire gives under the blow and the only way that has been devised to get through an entanglement la td atop and cut each wire with nlppera. Theae nlppera are carried by aol dlera nowadays, but it la a long Job to get throusli, for every wire must be cut at every post. Wire by tons and posts by tbouaanda are carried with the armiea, for be It Invasion or defense no general knows when he will have the enemy behind hlra. In placing entanglements deep grasa, tall grain fields and thickets are selected where possible, for the effectiveness of the wire Is far greater If the attacking force hurls itself upon the obstruction unawares.'' People and Events The cream-topped schooners which have made aome of the bara of Chicago famous have been retired from business and sloops of much less capacity sub stituted. The war tax on boer did tha trick. Reno, Nev.. haa had ao little publicity since It ceased to be a divorce center that aome of the local booaters knocked down a United States senator and brought the town Into the limelight for a moment.

OMAHA, Nov. 1-To the Editor of The Bee: The Scandinavian Toung Women's ChrlMlan association of Omaha will cele brate Its twentieth anniversary on De cember 12. 1SH. It desires very much to clesr Itself of an Indebtedness cf 17.509 by that time, and therefore for the first time in Its history makes a general ap peal for financial aaslatance. Part of this Indebtedness consists of a mortgage on tha buildlnga and real estate of the association. The association haa been endorsed as being worthy of aupport by the Asso ciated Retailers of Omaha and tH chan ties endorsement committee, representing the Commercial club and the Associated Charities of Omaha. The Hcandlnavlan ' Toung Women's Christian association waa founded by Maria Holnass, its president and treas urer, In 1893, in tha city of Omaha. Miss Holnass was ably assisted In founding thla Institution by Ellen Nelson, who Is now second vice president and matron of the association. In 1896 the association Incorporated under the laws of the state of Nebraska. The object of the association la to do a general Toung Women's Christian as sociation work in a field not reached by the English Toung Women's Christian as sociation. A large number of Scandi navian young women come to Omaha, from time to time, from the Scandinavian countries, and from the farming region tributary to Omaha, of which many can not apeak the English language, and many are unaccuetomed to the waya of the city. The association provides, aa far aa possible, a proper borne for these and other young woman, under Christian Influence, at minimum cost to the women, a place where they can have home privi leges, use of library, sewing room, piano, etc., without additional expense, and a place where they can secure assistance In getting employment, advice, medical at tention and other care when needed. In the association home Instruction la given In the domestic ectences, English lan guage, music and other matters tending to better qualify the young women to oc cupy their place In society and honorably snd properly aupport themselves. From the association's beginning up until 1904 Its work was conducted in hired quarters. Ja the year ISOt, however, the association constructed Its own building, containing thirty-six rooms. Including one large hall, parlor, library, office, kitchen, dining room, sewing room, laundry and twenty-eight aleeplng rooms. Since that time the association haa purchased the seven-room cottage on the north of Its main building, which Is used entirely for sleeping rooms for young, women. The association la able to house fifty young women at one time, which capacity ia taxed at all times. In fact, because of lack of room, applicanta for admiaalon are being constantly turned away. The association la nonaectarlan and various religious faiths are represented among Its members and those cared for la the eesoclstion's buildlnga. Among the resi dent membership are stenographers, bookkeepers, clerks, seamstresses, maids, nurses and students. Many young wo men who come to the city te take places In the homes as household maids look upon the association building as their home-that is, the place to which they can go and visit when off from work, and where they can go and secure ad vice and medical attention when needed, and even atay whan out of employment or disabled from work. The association makes a specialty of assisting Its young women te secure honorable and safe em ployment, using equal care In recom mending young women for places, and Investigating the character of the em ployer and the conditions under which they must work. The association 1a managed by a board of trustees, elected by the membera of the association, and by a board of ad vtaors, elected by tha board of trustees.

To the Editor of The Bee: This letter is Inspired by the fact that a few daya ago a friend of mine told me that the Christian Science church without any fuss collected e"oe for the relief of the Belgians. (Several weeks ago the British born people who reside In Omaha held a meeting at Jacobs Hall with the object of assisting their t-nfor-tunate frlenda In the countries la which they were born, on account of the great oalamlty which has overtaken Europe. We bad a splendid meeting, a prominent divine opened the meeting, a most popu lar gentleman of Scotch birth waa made permanent chairman and we got up a splendid organisation of gentlemen of English, Scotch, Irish, and Canadian With, and wa all felt good and gave aa much aa we could, some more, some leea We adjourned with the idea that we ahould be called together again and the good work .carried on. Since that time I have heard no word of what the com mittee ia doing, or of aay meeting being railed, though my Idea was when I gave my little money that this waa a prelimi nary meeting and not a temporary burst of enthusiasm, aad then te be forgotten, though I understood that the Uooteh have got up a aeries of entertainments to belp their folks. I would like te ask the English-born rltlsens of Omaha what'a the matter with them? Are we afraid to show our colore?
