Austria did not realise the "moral iniquity' of American munitions Until Italy closed the Adriatic- Sea gate. Unable to get the goods, the horror of the business suddenly, sunk in with a dull thud, It Is real mean of tyrant man to attach tor lack taxea the dear little runabout of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. . The doctor appeals to the con- ctltutlon In vain. A tax gatherer knows only one rule of action, "Oet Caesar's due." It Is characteristic of American cities ' to defer publio Improvement until absolutely necessary, and Omaha is no exception to the rule. To widen Twenty-fourth street now would cost twice. what It could have been done tor five years ago. The ocean-to-ocean airship race has been declared off because the $25,000 purse brought out only one entry. The explanation offered is that all the aviation business Is headed toward the European war arena. By deferring the race until after the war it should become an inter national event, with whole flocks of aviators in the flying, representing all the different nationalities. Failure to pay a bill of 150,000 for a device vhlch prevented the interception of wlrekss messages Indirectly led to the Navy department taking control of the wireless station at SayvUle, Long Island. ' The Philadelphia Inventor, una ble to collect Ms claim, appealed to the govern ment, which investigated and found the device doing overtime business In neutral and unneu tral Hertzian waves. The first essential of war time secrecy Is the payment of the price., '? Benutorffi Sagg-eition. The German amhaaaador, in an Interview, suggests the practicability of the United States mediating between Germany and Great Britain on the question of the freedom of the sea, indi cating that this Is the hope of the imperial gov ernment as expressed in the closing paragraph cf tbe last note from Berlin. This course would determine the righU of neutrals, and do away with much that is now vexatious because of bel ligerent disposition to ignore provisions of In ternational law. The pressure of the packers' claims against Great Britain brings the question squarely to the front again. British Interference with traf fic on the high seaa has been quite as complete as Germany's, the difference being the cargoes Intercepted by the British are now taken into pert, to be dealt with by prise courts. The United States has so far omitted noth ing that would make clear Its position as to the rights of neutral traffic. If It can be of servico In adjusting the controversy over the sea, it may also eventually open a way for settling the war rn land. In the meantime, the questions are cot to be confnsed. and separate negotiations will be carried on with London and Berlin, until Germany and England can agree to submit their cases for consideration. Still Another Side to It In the last als months Nebraska has bem treated to two object lea ona, one Illustrating the slip-shod system that prevailed In the government of a small municipality. A village treasurer kept book a In which a trial balance was a thing unknown. The, villas board required no monthly atatement The mayor waa known to alsn warrants In blank, the treasurer to fill In the name and amount, quite at variance with the spirit of the law. As a result expert accountants admit that the enact status of the affairs may never be ascertainable, unless the missing treasurer returns. World-Herald. . But there is still another side to it, which, while not In the least excusing or palliating dis honesty In any custodian of public rnoney or contributory negligence of his associates In pub lie office, calls for serious attention. In this case the delinquent treasurer was nnder bond given by a surety company In the same way that other treasurers are bonded, the transaction being strictly a matter of business so far as tbe bonding company is concerned. The public has been led to believe that these surety company bonds not only promise indemnification, but provide against a shortage through periodic check by experts. But the bondsmen for this treasurer for a doses, years never checked any thing they took the money paid as premium on the bond, and gave nothing in return, not even the oversight thst a personal surety would have given. Instead they lulled to sleep with a falre sense of socurlty the other officials, who should have been wide awake and alert. If the tondlng companies are not careful, the next thing that will confront them will be state legis lation for a public Indemnity fund . through which the taxpayers will themselves Insure the honesty of their officials.

Cartwrlsht one of the gentlemanly elerks at 7- B. wc tarns stare, lttft for his boms la Creatoo, Arbitration Again 'citified. The outcome of the Chicago street railway labor difficulty is another splendid proof of the efficacy of arbitration. A , great strike was called off in its lnclpteucy, the. service on the city's street car lines was restored, the publio was spared great Inconvenience and all the un desirable features of a labor war were averted by the resort to arbitration. As a further re sult, the men ga'n a substantial Increase in wages, and relief in other directions that will greatly improve their situation, while the com panies gain In the continuous operation of their lines under peaceful conditions. Neither side to a labor dispute has ever yet been found entirely In the right, while settle ments achieved by force are not settlements at all. Adjustments attained by calm and Judicial consideration of all the elements that enter Into the dispute are lasting and widespread In thetr effects. It Is this that is lending weight more and more to the trade agreement that provide' for arbitration when conciliation or mutual agreement have failed. The result Just an nounced from Chicago Is an encouraging sign that we are coming to substitute reason tor force. Foreign Trade After the1 War. The vice chairman of the United States Trade commission predicts great wealth for the United States, to be derived from the foreign commerce that will be built up aa a result of the war. This note has been struck many times of late, the conclusion being so obvious as to fairly obtrude Itself. Conquering foreign fields In commercial endeavor has been a continual sub ject of discussion for months, and the latest of plans proposed is one In which the Trsde com mission is taking an active part. It compre hends the adoption of a system for co-operative selling, by the manufacturers of the United States, along the lines of the German "kartel." This touches the whole question of combina tion la trade. The United States was already well established as an exporter of manufactures before the war broke out in Europe, meeting German, British, French and Belgian competi tion lnthe world markets. This waa notably tiue In the lines that are represented In this country by strong organisation, such as agrlcul tural machinery, which, by tbe way, has been hit hardest of all by the war. Some of the bigger domestic combinations, such as the com- panlea that control in copper, have very sud denly developed a marked regard for the antl trust laws, and ask for permission to unite on foreign trade in order to be free from possible prosecution. It seems quite certain congress is to be approached oa this topic. In the meantime, natural factors are work lug in favor or the United States. European manufacturers are sadly handicapped by the war, and will be In even a worse plight when the war la over. Their business has been disrupted in all Its activities, their working forces dis persed and it will require many months to bring about the readjustment needed for efficient op eritlon after peace Is finally declared. This gives the United States a tremendous advanUge and Justifies the belief that America will domi nate the world's commerce. Just for the foolishness of one or two mem bers of the city council, Omaha electrlo light consumers have for four months been payln higher rates than there was any need of saxlna. making a present to the eiscUie lighting com- pany of not lose than f 80.000, Adventures in Shopping T. T. Cook in System. Sine KJnnK , dux always, 11 av-eina, anv nu m iwiuv OMETIMB8 ah shops alone this lady sometimes pins adventure or two. And how they vary! They're as full of queer twists and turns aa the heart of woman Itself. They are unpleasant and pleasant, commonplace and excit ing. In turn. From contented laughs over successful shopping episodes she runs the gamut to stormy tear of Indignation. Perhaps the telling" of a few of these adventures may mean more than the mere setting down of sprightly conversation. Something tells ma It will. The first that comes to mind Is that of the slip pers. They were purchased last summer; the methods in vogue at the two shops entered were so extreme as to be amailng. It aeems Impossible thst two up-to-date shoe stores, standing almost shoulder to shoul der, should show such a disparity In salesmanship. Let the lady tell about It: "Well, t bought my slippers today," she said one evening, "and aurh a time! First I went to H'a. Well! I'll tell you one thing: I'll never go there again. "What do you think the womeji said to me? It was early In the morning, you understand, and she waan't a hit busy. I thought I'd surely get the best of attention. I told her exactly what I wanted. Tes, she had them. Bhe went away for a moment and came back with a rather aood looking slipper, but the mo ment she tried It on I knew It was much too big. 1 told her so and X wish you could have seen the look she gave me. 'Too blgr she said. 'My dear young lady, I wouldn't sell you a smallsr shoe.' "I simply oouldn't resist saying, 'Vary well, don't bother; you couldn't sell me anything now.' "Then I went over to 8 s. They were busier than he other placa, but I didn't have to wait long. A nloo, middle-aged woman waited on me. and as soon as I told her what I wanted aha showed signs of be ing Interested. 'Why certainly.' she said. 'I think. I have exactly what you want' She was back In a moment. And and I suppose the price vraa a dollar or two more than I should have spent but It was a beauty. "But listen, here's the point. I aaked her If she thought I rould wear a shoe like that It was rather extreme. 'Extreme r aha said. 'Why. you could wear any shoe In our store.' " What a difference Just a few words make. Flattery? Well, maybe. But it did more good than the other woman's talk. The lady bought that pair of shoes, you may be euro even though they did coat 13 more than she wanted to pay. As for the virtues of S.'s shoes ell you have to do is mention the word, and the lady breaks Into the talk with some thing like this: "Personally. I like S.'s. I had more satisfaction In buying this last pair their than"-an3 so on. "My. I'm tired." complained the lady late one afternoon, "and I ought to go over to Turner's for bread and augsr. I'd telephone for It, but they'll think I'm crasy If I nsk them to send over such a small order. I suppose I'll have to go." Tired aa she was, the lady was not too tired to wait for Mlaa Ella, her favorite saleswoman at Tur ner's. She gave her order, received the goods, and then said: "You know, Miss Ella, I often need one or two little thlnrrs snd hate to call you up to send them. What do you people consider an order large enough to deliver? Right there Miss Ella made her lasting Impression. "Mrs. Bee, any time you want a single thing a loaf of bread or a lemon, Juat you call up and aak for me. I'll sea that It's sent andV sent promptly, too." The Irony of It Is: Miss Ella's health made her leave the big grocery Just a few weeks later. But you couldn't pry the lady loose from dealing there for her the place has tradition We needed a enreen, a nice, low mahogany screen and It didn't dare be above a certain height. The lady said so. Our friends said they didn't think, they were made Ilka that snd I'd probably have to have It built to ordor. There were two furniture houses to which we usually went before making a purchase. We went to the first and put the question to the man who usually waits on us. He said he was afraid they did not have It. "But let's go upstairs a moment," he Invited. "I'd like to show you what we de have." It developed that he had In stock a screen of ex actly the same dimensions and general appearance, but Its frame was a rather unattractive "mission-finished." The lady passed me a tiny wink. That meant let's try the other place. (Bo I aroke up and told him how much we thanked him, bnt we didn't think we could possibly use that one. Perhaps we would stop In again. We were very weloonie, he assured us, but why not let him order one of that else with a ma hogany frame T "I could have It here la two weeks. you know," he suggested, "and In the meantime I rould send this one up to the house and you oould use It and then send It back when your own arrives." It sounded so much like getting something for nothing thst neither of us could quite find words to express our appreciation; but after we got home and thought it over, the good business of the deal the fact that he kept us from leaving the store and trying his biggest rival, the fact that he held us off and at the same time did us a favor, and so on appeared In Its proper light. "Not because I wants make a sale, y understand. not a'tall," the raven-haired gent assured us. "but here Is a overooat. young man, that you'll make a mistake not to take." I looked at the lady. 8he actually seemed to like It the salesmen's method. I mean. He oertalnly was trying hard to sell me that overooat. "But Where's the dark Oxford of this style that I saw In the window a few days aaot" "Young man, X tell you the truth, we had Just about half a dosen of them Oxfords in stock and they are all gone mostly to old men." "Very well.'.' I said. 'If you don't have any of them left I think Til wait 'til next week. Tm going' to New York and" "N'Tork!" he shouted. "N'Yorkl That's my horns young man. I know all about N'Tork. Now under stand me, it's not because I wanta make a sals, but I tall you If you go over to N'Tork you pay tie more for the same coat" All the time I wss getting more disgusted with his aggressiveness, take-lt-whether-you-want-lt-or-not style. It was after noon, so It occurred to me that It might be possible to escape by calling attention to the fact that we all must oat "We are Just on our way to lunch," I explained. "I think well not decide unul after that we 11 talk It over while we eat" just for a moment did that atagger him. Then he came back: "Just a second, please, juat wait tight here a second, will youT It's not because I wanta force you to buy this coat, y understand, but I think there's another man here who's looking for a blue balmacaan. He went around several counters and tables tc where another salesman was leisurely talking with a -man about six sixes larger than myself. They held quite a conversation, entirely whispered. "I wonder If we look as If a transparent little trice: like that could fool ue" I asked the lady. Then he of the ravea locks returned. "Now, of coureo, you are buying the coat Mr. Mr. er you are buying the ooat. y understand, but there Is a gentleman over there whe Is looking for a coat Just as I suspected. Now I don't want to press you a'tall. but don't you see that tf you waited aa hour or two he might decide that he wants this very garment' But I had already pressed the elevator button and the car was coming. One more effort he made, hitch In around so that he barred tbe entrance to the ele vator. "Tell yos what I'll do." he said. "If you think you want this ooat Just you say so. I'll put It away for you. I'U take your word for it Just droo la after you have your lunoh and that way yeu'U be sure It s here for you." But we managed te duck under his arm. As the car began to desornd he stouk one of hie cards through, the grating. "Take my card anyway," be shouted after us and then we were la peace. fMd we not go nee ror that coat 7 we did not.

Jul inrv the Editor of The Bee: As a final reply to the party who Is afraid to sim his own name and who seems to prefer to " "e dark. I will say that the People of the defunct city of South Omaha not only voted to get rid of the city government but also to a-et rid of the old mim on June 1. The comparison as to counties does not apply to a city in any degree. We do not say or write Omaha. Eastern Nebraska, nor do we write it Beatrice. South Nebraaka, nor will there be any neoeasity of writing it outn Omaha In any degree after the north and south numbers are changed. I notice that most of the opposition to calling It the South Side are those (who voted against annexation. They seem to harbor a faint hope that the annexation act will be finally set aside by the courts, but they are Indulging In a dream that will never coma true. A great many people from down here have always registered as being from Omaha. and that list Includes lota of anti-ark. rexatlonlsts. Of course they did not have much "clvlo pride." It that la what you call it Nor did they think they had much to be proud cf. If Omaha was a big city like Chlcage or New York there might be some ex- euee for calling- a part of the city one name and another part another name. but when the united population, of the two cities Is a good deal less than 200,00ft there Is no excuse In the world for two names and I for one will continue to call It the South Side. F. A. AONEW. The JTem de Plaaae. SHERIDAN, Wyo.. July IX. To ths Editor of The Bee: In re The Bee's Let ter Bo, will you please allow me to again enter my protest against the writers using It who are unwilling to sign their real names? A nom de plume's opinion is seldom worth noticing and their emana tions should not be placed before the public. I succeeded In bringing "B. O. M." out snd my published objection to "Cured in Five Dajra" has brought tne a hatful of letters asking me to publish a state ment in your paper retracting my letter and allow that proprietary medicine firm to continue using your Letter Bos to ad vertise their preparation. They adroit your publishing the lady's two-thirds col umn letter brought them several patients who paid well for their treatment And the earns lady used tbe Wortd-Herald to publish "Flowers of Hope" for the same purpose, and In which appeared this beau tiful, meanhagleas. unintelligible verse of Impossibilities: And the second day I could hear it grow The lily bulb in the dark I Its greeu sheath scattered the flowers of woe; Ere tl.e third day dawned all Ita crimson alow Was quenched to the utmost spark. Oh desr! dear! To think of hearing a Illy bulb grow In the dark! And then for Its green sheath to scatter flowers of woe until all Its crimson glow was quenched to the utmost spark! And yet the lady whe wrote it wrote ma that tt brought patients to ths firm. It makes me wonder if e-our worthy United States senator knows his rapsr Is being worked for the free advertising of a money making- pro prietary medicine firm. And now poor "A. B. Mlckle." who so honestly admits spending twice aa much money each week for tobacco as for beef steak for a family ef saves and whose bete nolr in thla Ilia seems to be "moving pictures and candy and Ice cream." has been attacked already by alx communi cants'' whe certainly ought te let their readers know who they are. Why do they hesitate or refuse to algn their names. If they want "A, B. Mlckle" So do better And there le another pseudonym writing from Tlllen. Neb., "Poly Olot." whose romnvinlcatlons are unintelligible to the writer, and one cannot but wonder what he Is trying te accomplish. Tour editorial reply to my original let ter on this subject tried to Justify the use of the nom de plume, because "the sig nature would add no weight or might tend to provoke personal controversy," and that la Just what such letters are doing. There would be more weight and less controversy If all .correspondents signed their names. HORACE P. HOLMES, M. D. Nebraska Editors The Fort Cnihoun Chronicle, Frsnk C.
