The "Moriei" and the Theater.
What eeems to be a wholly unnecessary, and
at this time a rather inopportune, controversy
has arisen between the producera of moving plo
I ire plays and the magnates of the theater. It
has its beginning In the reproduction of well
known plays In pictures, and the appearance
therein of actora who have been associated with
te play. One theater manager and producer
has said he will not permit any actor under his
direction to play before the camera; in retalia
tion one ot the big picture-makers has an
nounced that no actor who baa posed In front
of his lense shall be permitted to appear on the
stage while the film he flgurea In la before the
public, and between the two the actors are be
ginning to wonder Just where they come in.
No good reason Is given why this rivalry
should have suddenly become so intense. It
has been urged on many an occasion that the
moving picture has been hurtful to the theater
ly reason of its taking away patronage. This
Is true, and only because the moving picture
managers gave the people a form of amusement
that was more to the popular taste than was
furnished at the theater. With just a little bit
of adjustment, this situation could be remedied,
end the moving picture become a help Instead
of hindrance to the stage.
The atage has a purpose higher than that ot
i.ierely affording entertainment. Its mission is
educational and Its effort, when rightly bent, Is
In that direction. In this the "movie" should
be of service, as a factor in developing a deal re
fur better things. It Is Impossible that the
tectator Is always to be aatisfled with the pro
ceaaJon of flat sbsdows of people moving across
the screen, but leaving all else to be supplied by
the Imagination. The life ot the play la essen
I'ally the spoken word accompanied by the ani
mated gesture, and this can be provided only by
a company of capable actors, under the Intelli
gent direction of an experienced manager. Pfc-
tures of people alone cannot supply this, nor do
tbey make tbe same appeal to the understanding
mind. But the "movie" has its uses and. prop
erly controlled, may be made a most useful ad
junct to the theater, while a "war" between the
U'g oates will do ao good lo either.
Improving the Missouri.
Omaha Is to be naked to Join with Kansaa
City and other Miasourl river towns In opposing
tbe recommendation of Lieutenant Colonel
Deakyne, the United States engineer who recom
mends that the program for Improvement of the
Pig Mnddy be abandoned. Tbla recommenda
tion, based on the failure to develop sufficient
traffto to warrant tbe expenditure, puts the
question squarely up to congress. Money was
net aside In the Isat rivers and harbors bill for
the work, which, If done st all, will, for the pres
ent at lnast, be under the direction of an engi
neer now on record as opposed to tbe project.
Missouri river navigation Is not a new prob
lem; the stream Is as susceptible of service now
ns It ever was, and the only point at Issue Is the
cost of developing traffic. If the river Is to be
used, a comprehensive program must be adopted,
to be systematically carried out. This will In
clude not alone the clearing of the channel from
obstructions, tbe protection of the banks of the
stream In order thst a permanent channel may
be preserved, but the furnishing of terminal
facilities at the points to be served. The re
quirements are easily outlined, and the only
question to be finally settled Is whether water
Is to be made available to supplement rail transportation.
Carranra Beady to Comply.
The earliest fruits of the All-Amerlcan con
ference on Mexican matters Is the manifestation
of a desire on part of the striving champions,
who have torn their country by factional fight
ing, to imt In on tbe ground floor of the settle
ment. This must be the cane of Venustlano
Carranca, who accompanies his brief of submis
sion with tbe delicate suggestion that he be
recognized as the "first chief" and tbe man to
be given power In Mexico, Similar submission,
with the same suggestions, will very likely be
before the conferees early In the week.
As outlined by the United States, the plans
for pacifying Mexico comprise the recognition of
all factlona aa factors in the settlement, which
will date back to the abdication and flight of
Huerta. Neither side Is to be given final prefer
ence, but an effort will be made to find a man
for president who will represent what tbe revo
lution stood for, but who has not been faction
ally prominent since. This elimination of the
present leaders should have the effect of mak
ing union the easier, and, as the settlement will
have the active support of all American powers,
Its authority ought to easily be established.
Mexicans may have a real government again
before the year Is out, but It will take a long
time to bring that country back to the state ot
development to which Dlai had brought It.
The "Eug-enie Woman."
One of the enthusiasts who has been spout
ing at a convention out on the Pacific coast has
given us a word picture of the future woman,
to be brought about through eugenics. She
will be taller than the present woman, will be
plump, but not fleshy, and will have a rich com
plexion In which the glow ot health will shine
with undiminished radiance. All right. But
(rhy wait for two or three generations before
plucking this peach? Do it now, for she Is with
us In abundance. Girls we have, "daughters ot
the gods, divinely tall, and most divinely fair,"
and some of them are dark and some are
blondes. And who is going to say what Is the
right height for a woman? It will be like the
answer Lincoln gave when asked how long a
man's legs ought to be.
One thing msy be accepted as settled. The
mother of the future will be like the mother of
all ages, from the beginning of the race on down
to the present. Her face will shine with "that
light that never was on land or sea," ber arms
will enfold her offspring with such warmth of
love aa nowhere else Is found, and from her lap
her babe will crow his delight In an empire be
yend the dreams of earth's most ambitious
monarch. And, as years go by, and the fledg
lings leave the home nest, wherever they wan
der, mother's love will be there with them, and
mother's heart will be sore because she cannot
always simply kiss away the hurts of life. And,
when at last mother closes her eyes and goes to
her long rest, she will be mourned by sons and
daughters who have known something ot that
Infinite blessing that has beld the race together,
world without end, a mother's love.
Eugenics may accomplish wonders in Its way,
but It will never alter mother.
Slaug-hteror Massacre f
Accuracy and precise statement alike require
the omission of the word "slaughter" from the
roster of world wsr terms. It Is Incorrect and
misleading. In former wars In which open
fighting prevailed as well as In the days of the
spear and tbe battleax, slaughter was an exact
descriptive term. Trench warfare, despite the
"spraying of fields with high explosives." the
tossing ot hand grenades, the rolling of bombs,
tbe use ot asphyxiating gas and liquid fire, ren
ders the life ot soldiers comparatively safe.
Such at leaat Is tbe inference conveyed by an
expert In explosives, Hudson Maxim.
"The slaughter which marks this war," says
Mr. Maxim In a New York Times Interview, "Is
not more than one-tenth aa great for the hours
of actual battls In comparison with the number
of men engaged aa that of our civil war." This
Is a strong statement considering the aource.
Let us examine it In the light ot available
records.
No one knows definitely how many men have
been or are now engaged In the present war.
Fifteen million men Is regarded a fair estimate.
The total number of men of all services engaged
on both sides in tbe four years of our civil wsr
was 3, 125,000, or a little more than one-fifth
cf Europe's estimate. The Red Cross computa
tion of losses during the first six months of tbe
present war abows S, 148,000 dead and 1,150,000
seriously wounded. The former figures work
out a death lose of 1,4 4 for every hour of the
clx months, exclusive of the wounded loss.
The loss of life from all causes, on both sides
ot tbe civil war, totals 483,7(5 men union,
34.44; confederate, 133.811. This means an
average loss of 11.8 per hour for every hour ot
the four years of wsr. If jhe civil war losses
were compressed Into a battle period of six
months, corresponding with Europe's period, the
average loss per hour would be 111 men, or
cue to every seven killed per hour In the war.
eiaughtcr Is not the word. Massacre more
fittingly describes the world war.
Ut TXOTOB SOSSWiTTIS,
DO W17 remember "(Vln" Harvey, the same who
made Mmaclf no famous by hla book raliod
"Coin's Financial Hc.hool" when the fiee allvt-r
fremy waa at Its lie!aht-that ha had thouaanda cf
people actually hclicvlns bis "school" was a rcalltj
and that Lyman .1. Ge, ter secretary of tho
treasury; J. Ilorpont Morgan, and all the other hi
Runs, stood vp beerc him and were qulxxed by the
achoolmaitrr In person? In hla "Coin's Financial
School" Harvey 'undertook to propose the remedy thai
was to revive the world from Its Industrial depree
slon, and cure all the economlo Ills to which mankind
waa subject Wall, the same W. H, Harvey, po-a
living- down In Arkansas, has sotten out a new book
In the same schoolmaster style, which proposes a
new remedy In fart, he calls the book "The Rem
edy, " which Is "to emancipate the race from evil
condltlona now existing- In the world, and to provide
an organisation lo carry the remedy Into effect."
Harvey la always Interesting, and hla book Is not
bad reading. Although by no means so faaclnattnq.
aa his free silver stuff. It la equally Indefinite anl
Impractical. He starts out by asserting that lack of
Individual chnracter la what Is ailing this dlscreplt
old world, and Illustrates It with a story about a
business man giving hla cashier twenty-five plecea of
fractional silver to be banded out to persons paying
their bills In addition to the change properly due, only
to find by the test that eight pocketed the money
without looking st It, while nine men and two women
knowingly kept It, and only six, being two women
and four men, returned the excess. Not at all Ini
probable, as It atrtke me! But what Is the remedy?
"My proposition," declares Harvey, "Is a system of
education that will create proper character In the In
dividual, and a high character of citizenship. Charac
ter (furthermore) may be taught as easily as reading,
writing or other similar branches." So all you have
to do Is to buy one of Harvey's books, fill In "Con
tribution Blank, Form A," with the amount of monor
you wlah to give to the educational movement to pro
mote character teaching, payable when the sum of
1X4,000 at least has been subscribed for that purpose,
and you will have done your share toward bringing
about the regeneration of the universe.
Harvey's new book recalls his former heyday
when he came to Omaha In the early spring of l'Jfl
for a lecture on the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, which packed the o:i Crelghton theater to the
doors. It was at this meeting that Harvey made
some remark about the surreprttlouaness of the
''Crime of 1S7S," the accuracy of which my father,
who was present, challenged on the spot When the'
cross-questioning threatened to become Uncomfortable,
Schoolmaster Harvey waved hla hand toward Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, noticeable among the occu
pants of a box, with the remark that Mr. Bryan
would doubtless be glsd to accommodate Mr. Rose
water In a debate. The challenge was pressed upon
Mr. Bryan, as Harvey's substitute, and the debate
was duly held a few weeks later. It waa a good de
bate, as all who heard It conceded, and tho partisans
of each stde Insisted that their respective champions
had the better of the argument. This waa In May of
DBS, and thla money-question debate caused so much
talk throughout the land that many Invitations were
received to repeat It at different places. One of these
Invitations was accepted for a Chautauqua gathering
at Independence, Mo., on the outskirts of Kansaa
City, It being convenient for the two orators to atop
there on their way to the Ft. Louis convention, which
both were attending In their capacity as newspaper
men. If I am not mistaken, this was the last tlmo
Mr. Bryan entered Into publto debate with anyone, ss
he was nominated for president before another month
rolled around, and subsequently refused to recognize
any challenges that did not come from an opposing
presidential candidate, and none earns front such per
sonages. My father waa paid ITS for his part In the
Kansas City debate, and I take It that the amount
received by Mr. Bryan was the same. My father
afterwards debated the same question with "Coin'
Harvey, himself, over at Urban. 111., where he suc
ceeded In driving In the material he had originally
wanted to launch at him at the Crelghton theater
meeting here.

Our former fellow townsman, Henry X- Estabrook,

address on "Truth Business and Political," which he
delivered wtth telling oratorical effect at Chicago a
few weeks ago before th Associated Advertlaluj
Clubs of th World. As a truth-teller Estabrook ha
no superior and fsw equals In fact his blunt telling
of brutal truths undoubtedly had much to do with
Omaha losing him as a cltlsen and the local bai
losing on of its most distinguished members when
he moved away, largely because h had championed

COLUMBIA'S EMBLEM.
Edna D. Proctor In "Songs of America."
Blston Columbia's emblem.
The bounteous, golden Corn!
Eons ago, of th great sun'a glow
And the Joy of the earth, 't was born.
From Superior's shore to Chill,
From the ocean of dawn to the west.
With its banners of green and silken
sheen
It sprang at the win's behest;
And by dew and shower, from its natal
hour,
With honey and wine 't was fed,
Till on slope and plain the gods were fain
To share the feast outspread;
For the rarest boon to the lan l they loved
Was the Corn so rich and fair.
Nor star nor breeze o'er the farthest seas
Could find Its Uko elsewhere.
In their holiest ten-pies the Incas '
Offered the heaven-sent Malxe
Grains wrought of gold, in a silver fold.
For the sun's enraptured gaze;
And Its harvest came to the wandering'
trlbea
As the sods' own gift and seal,
An.l Montezuma's festal bread
Was made of Its sacred meal.
Narrow their cherished fields; but ours
Are broad as the continent's breast.
And, lavish as leaves, the rustling:
sheaves
Bring plenty and Joy and rest;
For they strew the plains and crowtl th
wains - ,
When the reapers meet at mora.
Till blithe cheers ring and west winds
sing
A song for the garnered Corn.
The rose may bloom for England.
The My for France unfold;
Ireland mav honr the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield of the great Republic,
The glory of the Went
Shall Ih-ht a stalk of the tasselled Corn
The sun's aupreme bequest!
The arbutus and the goldenrod
The heart of the North may cheer.
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters rear.
And Jasmine and mngnolLa
The crest of the South adorn:
But the wide Republic's emblem
Is the bounteous, golden Corn!
