No wonder the German general staff look askance on such spectacles as that of German end English soldiers suspending hostilities Ion enough to play a game of foot ball on Christmas day, and then voluntarily and without orders declaring a further armistice of two days. If that spirit should permeate the armies, the war would be over.' We would soon see the soldiers marching off the field, singing "Hllee, hllo," or some other roundelay, while the great question of strategy and efficiency and the like would be forever left undetermined. It Is a roost encouraging sign. In that it In dlcates with what facility the readjustment will come when the peace of Europe Is again de clared. When men can fraternize on the battle field. It Is easy to believe they will be able to continue amicable Intercourse when the strife between them Is reduced to nothing more deadly than competition for a livelihood. The occurrence also supports the belief that the present war 1b more a war of the general than that of the common people. Military am bltlon, not in Germany alone, but In the other countries, too, will have to bear the responslbil Ity for what the heir to the German throne has called "the most stupjd war of all history.' Looming bigger and bigger every day on the borlson of the future is-the hope that out of the fctruggle the nations engaged will come with a determination to subordinate military prepared ness to industrial, commerciel and Intellectual efficiency. 1 To make good their claim that General Pros perity would open the throttle aa soon aa freight i-ates were refised upward,, orders for $16,000, 000 worth of supplies have been placed by three companies.

The election of tha captain of the high school foot ball team is being contested - by a defeated candidate who alleged he bad neven votes promised him, but received only six. In the face of such a terrible indictment we see no outcome except to have all the future high school elections conducted by our honest elec tion commissioner. Chancellor von Bethmann-IIollweg- com plains that English and French censorship and control of the cables prevents the "German point , of view" being adequately presented in the United States.

We had this office once created by enactment of a law, sponsored by The Bee, so far as county and city were concerned, but the law was repealed by the machinations of democratic payrollers", aided and abetted by the World-Herald. A step in the same direction waa again taken In the home rule charter, but the world-Herald tried to stir un oDDoaitlon tn thia very eectlon by pretending that it aimed at nrv. ing loose from the salary list the incumbents in the city comptroller's office. Now that naner rightly says, "There can be no ground for oppos ing me aDonuon of the office of comptroller in the city of Omaha as that office la at nrAaAn t constituted." and that "the germ of the proposal ror an independent auditor Is sound." This means, if it means anything, that the ooaltton of Tne Bee on this matter has all alon been aound and that the then opponents are onlv bow heHn. nmg to see the error of their ways. Albert Law Ho Complete Remedy. Governor Morehead is Informed bv bla crime. commission, composed of eminently qualified in vestigators, that the Albert law has not pro duced the results promised for It. It has scat tered the evil it was Intended to correct hut thriving under repression, that evil is now the greater, because more neraona ar nar.t in t w - O-0" U . V. This conclusion of the commission may be dis appointing, but hardly surprising. Driving evil into the dark has never had the effect r iean. Ing it In degree or extent. , Study of vice, although seriously and axtn. sively pursued, has not as yet produced a panacea. Reformers must look to the causes of conditions they seek to remedy, and adopt cor rective and preventive measures dealing with those causes, rather than with the effect. This la especially true of the social evil, against which the Albert law, with Its stringent provisions is aimed. The causes must be reached and re moved, if ever the evil is to be abolished. One recommendation In the commission's re port to the governor is worthy or careful consid eration. That is the establishment of farm re formatories. The healthy open-air life Incident to farm work is undoubtedly, a great factor in oeveioping or character and thus leading to-bet ler nvi While the members of the lower house at Lincoln reverently bowed their heads, the chap lain fervently prayed, for the newspaper report ers on doty there. The incident is noteworthy, in that it amounts to an admission on the part of at least one preacher that the newspaper guild is not past praying for; moreover, Its members are amply able and quite generally qualified to make their own auppllcaUons for guidance and mercy. This latter fact is well known to those who come tn contact with the men who record the daily doings of the world. Newspaper reporters are chroniclers and commentators, dealing with the affairs of mankind from a semi-detached view point. Impersonal in their work, and strictly neutral always; seeking alone the facts, pos sessed of hearts as well as heads, and quite as susceptible to the warmer and more generous impulses as any. Much that is unpleasant falls in the way of the conscientious reporter, but he finds his duty often to act "like angels for the good man's sin, weep to record and blush to give it in." Prayers for reporters are appre ciated, but many others need them more. An Invidious Allusion. Ia conalderlng this auk-gestlon for , supreme court commission tho people are not solng to lone abxht of tha fact that its first effect would be to creata a lot of new fat offices for lawy-rs It would probably doubla tha treaent cost of tha supreme court. Some will be uncharitable enough to Imagine that the law yera, In urging it. are probably thinking mora abuut the advantage It will afford their profeaalon than about tha relief It will afford tha litigious publlo from tha law's delays.. This project for a supreme court commission waa sprung by the bar association of Omaha. It has been taken up by all the other aaao riatlona of lawyers, with remarkable unanimity of approval. What is tha uae of having" tha law's delays unless they can be utilised to, somebody's material advantage Lincoln Btar. Now. we protest against this invidious al lusion and against impugning the motives of the lawyers by intimating that they are trying to make Judgeships for "themselves to fill. We remember the scramble for places oa the com mission during our two former experiments with this sort of makeshift, but lawyers la Ne braska have now gotten beyond that and have risen to. higher levels. The lawyers are sin cerely Interested in expediting Justice, and It is merely an Incident that their.- particular pet pro posal to this end should carry with it a buuch of fat salaries for lawyers only. Tho' Political Caldron , While It la quite clear that all seven of the present city commissioners desire and will seek re-election, it seems equally clear at present that thry will not ek It aa a unit, as the "Seven Square" ticket by which uey were unitedly characterised three years iio. If thera is no "blood on the moon'' at the city hall, certainly there are fissures In the ground separating some of tltese seven statesmen. You will hear such gossip as this in local political nang-outa: "Dahlman has decided to cut loose from the ret of tha commissioners and go It alone this spring. Ha feels that he and hie 'Dahlman Democracy club' hav neen the big factor in pulling through himself nd his six colleagues, but hss concluded not to attempt the task of landing anybody but himself this time." But that is not a perfectly accurate sensing of tne situation, although it Is partially correct. No doubt of Dahlman's determination to look Out for "No. 1" first and last, but the chances are he may continue to tie up his fortunes with thos of some of the others, possibly Butler. McOovern and r iwineu. bo rar aa can te stated now, however, no plan or determination has been resched thjt is not subject to revision. All tbat any of tha candidates. In office or out, have done thus far Is simply to cast aoout in his own mind for a possible starting point. If tha primaries were to be held tomorrow tha chances are the present commission might be divided three ways Dahlman, McOovern. Butler and Wlth- neii in one party, Kugel and Hummel tn another, and Ryder to himself. If "talk" Is worth a fig. that is tne dope at tha present writing. But. of course. mere's many a slip 'twixt cup and Up." and. aa tha primaries do not come off until April, and the election in May, no telling what might happen between this and that. For all one knows tha entire "Bquara Seven" may come out as squarely aa ever together although that Is a remote possibility or each fellow may paddle his own canoe. If the mayor's fortunes had gone right, that Is, if tirouiers Bryan and Hitchcock could only have come to some sort of agreement aa to tha distribution of thle good old federal pie. why, then, Jim would be out of tha running entirely for tha city Job, but a man has to do something, and so ha leln tha running. He has had three whlrla at tha mayorship and feels that a fourth wouldn't hurt his cowboy constitution a bit. although ha seems to appreciate the faot that soma or tha voters may feel differently about It- But tha woods are full of candidates besides these seven In the city hall. Truth Is, there are a few Other buddln renlnaea anran In n k.ll " . - -- - ..w ., wi?i Hiii as deputies, clerks and what not. who are cogitating inougnis in tneir own minas about trying It out with then- chiefs for the nomination.

To the Editor of The Bee: A friend of mine wants to know if making Belgium a door-mat (an .apt expression once used in your columns) Is applicable to the meaning of the Ger man word "kultur?" Wren a German says he will kur you, be only means he will treat you and not necessarily make you well as we mean by the word "cure" In English. So. too. with this word "kultur," which ha a somewhat different meaning thau. our word "culture." But Just what "kultur'' means In Ger man Is hard for the average American to grasp, unless it means discipline by the state or nation, but the Germans do not give to it this meaning exactly. The mlxup In translating this word Into English Is amusing. It is snld to mean "Industry, order, filial obedience and love of soap and water." But so did our word "culture" at the beginning evl dently mean that and now also for those coming up In tha scale of civilization. Again It la said to apply only to a na tlon as a whole, "implying an enlight ened government to which the individual Is strictly subordinated snd that the peo ple as Individuals must sacrifice their in dlvlduality to the state." If that be Its meaning It is hardly democratlo and would surely not comply with our Declaration of Independence. Whatever be Its meaning, for It is cer talnly a conundrum to an American, a few word on culture may not be amiss. This twentieth century war has cer tainly destroyed a lot of Ideals that mod ern rVvilisatlon has been striving for and our word "culture" has been stampeded and all that it Is built upon In esthetics, ethics,' science of government, religion (faith), etc It brings us back to tha weaknesses of human nature aifd not to that culture of ancient democratlo Athena, nor to that of tha Roman republic, which did so much to stiffen tha backbone of hujtnan nature for all time by example. Only to destroyed by the caesars of Rome when an empire, greedy for power by the ruling clssses, and then to dissipation and licentiousness, and down- went Rome like McGlnty. To us the word culture seems synony mous with education, and more, demo cratlo It would seem than applied to the, stats, unless the state be a republic, where all can have a voice and be heard. The stench of the dead oa the battle field In summer or of the trenches does not appeal to our culture, and there surely must be soma better way that the fittest should survive, as slowly but surely by the science of eugenics, for in stance, In the distant future of the race. In our time, at least, one philosopher and two atatesmen In this order, Nletx- schke. Trietchke, Bernhardi. have taught peculiar doctrines, it would appear to us in this country. When Nletxsche taught that the ma jority of mankind were Incapable of original thought and perforce the people must be led, unwittingly he Insulted the Intelligence of the people of the United States, or he had no knowledge of us. If Taft or Roosevelt or their parties do not suit us wa choose Wilson. Those who do not believe In such as the beatitudes like -Nietzsche, that "blessed are the meek, for they shall In- he-lt the earth," wtll now have an op portunity to refute them, for the fight Is on and much of civilisation is engaged In this, wa. hope, tha last of all wars on earth. ' GEORGE P. WILKINSON. Variety the Spice of Life. OMAHA. Jan. 1-To the Editor of The Bee: In time gona by newspapers were newspapers only. Nowadays some of them are whole libraries of information, as the more enterprising ones employ scores ct eminent writers and thinkers, who writs on hundreds of different topics. I wonder If tho general publlo appreciates that they are being gradu ally educated by these newspapers', and that in spite of themselves. . I will name ' a few of these writers. "Madam Dix" handlea Immorality with out gloves. She rips men and women open. Inspects and dissects their inner organs, cleans oit their livers and plugs up their leaky hearts, patching them up and putting them together so firmly that Judge Sutton will not be able to pry them apart with a crowbar. "Dooly's" sympathy for, the lean, over worked after-dinner orators is worth reading, and ought not be sniffed st. "Madam Wilcox's" philosophy, which reaches from hades to heaven, is won derful, Indeed. No wonder, though, as she says thst she got started by someone a thousand years ago and has since lived- a great many lives, and expects to live a great many mora before her cycle ia complete, which will likely be when hep poems are heard before the throne. "Lady Duff Gordon", Is a grekt au thority on ladlee' fashions. She will likely soon revive the old-fashioned boseohcloth; as It Is now, the waists are eut down to the wishbone and the skirts are a half Inch below the km-. but It Is healthy, they say. sdmlttlng air to front aa well as the rear. Stllt-llke i heels, under the mldJie of the shoes make i one feel proud as a rooster walking on ha toes. "Hubbard" tells us about some of the greatest men that ever lived, what they did and what they taught, omitting, ner hapa purpoaely. King tavd and Solo mon: yea. and weU, as according to their moral reputation they would not In our time be fit to rule over Ram Cat alley. Queen of Sheba knelt before this mas fcolomon and worshiped him. and so to day some women tske pleasure in throw ing their shsckles into the laps of the mostly beastly of men. "Servlss" tells us all about astronomy. Our globe, he says. Is a mere plnhead, compared with millions of globes tum bling themselves n endless space. The Inhabitants of Mara have for thousands of years signaled Ua by wlivleaa without wa being able to catch on. and ho won der, as the human .In comparison to the Mara giants is like Drk Conneil's milk, bacteria, of which there is more than ten thousand million in a pint bottle. ! Yes. even Mars' Irrigation canala irt greater than our Rock county ditch. "Gregory" gives us now and then bits of past history which is Interesting and tends to enlighten us In the broadest sense of the word. "Msdame Fairfax" Insists that women shoull have right of selection and privilege of proposing marriage to man. It would bo better, as It la not given all men to understand the crossbars of a gu-au-eyed t,tnt hence, she la right on the general principle. It was so In tha beginning and Is still so with an Inula. It is the mlaa of the animal kingdom thst proposes, and for that reason there are no old maids among them. An ani mal (a snake) tauaht lha irioV . ,1.. first woman, saying, bow.

It was said that their wed ding apparel did not fit quite aa well as If made by Maisme Fox or Nlcol the Tailor. The Letter Box Is both Interesting and Instructive, but would be much better If tha writers would cut out calling one another names and liars. P. WHO.
