The Case of the Arabic
The Dee has purposely withheld comment
on the cae Of the Arabic, waiting for the first
news to be supplemented by more details.
On the bare recital that another unarmed
psssengcr vessel carrying American citizens had
been torpedoed without warning, almost within
sight of the fpot where the Lusttanla was sunk,
sending a thousand men, women and children
to watery graves, the conclusion must be that
Germany has deliberately committed the "un
friendly act" which our government had advised
in its last note would call for a mora emphatia
protest than mere words: for it la not a question
of the number of American lives lost, nor even
of the loss of any life, but of the principle ot
Jeopardizing innocent IItss by a submarine war
fare that s waged without ample opportunity to
take off passengers and crew from tha attacked
vessel.
Yet we must try to possess our patience long
enough to learn what excuse or Justification will
be advanced on behalf of Germany.
In the case of tba Lusitania, tha German de
fense rested upon tha counter-charge that tha
boat wss armed and belonged to the auxiliary
British bavy, and mora particularly, that It was
conveying, under the protecting cover of human
freight, a cargo of war munitions that were to
be used to make widows and orphans of the
families of German soldiers, full notice against
taking passage OA tha boat having been given ty
previous advertisement in New York newspa
pers. In the case of the Arabic, being on a west
bound voyage, It could not be carrying contra
band nor could American passengers returning
bom have had notice of tny special danger.
Tha German government, In our opinion,
should be permitted to offer its explanation or
excuse. If it bad any. But whether any explana
tion tt may give can be acceptable must be de
termined In first Instance by President Wilson
and his advisers. If the sinking of the Arabic
Is an "unfriendly act," then we must in self-respect
kt cnoe sever our diplomatic relations with
Germany, no matter what other measures we
may resort to to compel observance of our rights
end the rights all neutral nations.
Th Mistakes of Murphy.
In the case of Kenneth Murphy, the young
man who has Just been returned to the Nebraska
penitentiary, there to face a life sentence, after
violation of his parole, may be found material to
point several morals. When the young man, In
company with three others, had been aocused
of a serious crime, to which they later pleaded
guilty, it was urged in his behalf that he "bad
never had a chance." He was not Inherently bad,
urged the people who took Interest in his situa
tion, and they succeeded In prevailing on the
governor to release htm on parole, that he might
be given an opportunity to work out his salva
tion. His new friends secured for Ulm admis
sion to a school of higher learning, that he might
be developed spiritually as well as Intellectually.
This waa to give him his "chance."
He was apparently unable to master the
first lesson In the course of good citizenship,
that of self-control. Good company d.d not ap
peal to htm strongly enough, and he has proven
that "evil communications corrupt good man
ners." Governor Morehead Is Justly Indignant
that his clemency should be so abused, and de
clines to be further imposed upon by the young
man and bit intercessors. How far the latter
are to be held responsible for Kenneth Murphy's
relapse Is not easily settled, but they must share
In some degree the odium of failure, because
they did not watch close enough. Society, how
ever. Is Justified in protecting Itself against the
youth who preferably does wrong. As his years
Increase he may acquire sufficient wisdom to
realize that his first duty to society is to serve
others and not himself, and In prison be may
learn tha lesson he failed to assimilate while
free.
Bat the failure with Murphy should not
deter any from seeking to lead the erring back
Into the ways of rlghtdolcg. ,
The Dollar Triumphant
The supremacy of the American dollar as a
world standard for value has been established,
at least temporarily, by the war. Conditions
that have been certainly developing for a year,
culminated at last in such a break In foreign
exchange as to place the dollar at a premium In
every country fa Europe, and to make it the
absolute measure of value in commerce. The
situation has not been unexpected; rather. It
wss unavoidable, as America la the one country
that has goods to sell, while all tha others now
ere buyers. The belligerents hava strained
their credit in order to obtain money for prose
cuting the wsr, and this has had the natural
result of sending down the price of their securi
ties. Flotation ot enormous war loans against
sentiment as a foundation for credit is not con
ducive to financial solidity. The war has In
terrupted the production of wealth in Europe,
Btve for military uses, and its effect in this re
gard will not be transitory. Many years will
rats before the great nations of the world can
recover the ground they hava lost, let alone re
valuing supremacy In' finance, for neither of
them has ths recuperative power shown by the
United States at the close of the civil war.
It might not be inappropriate to here again
record the fact that it was . the republican
I arty that preserved the dollar of the United
t'tatcB against th onslaught of the democrats,
determined on debasing the coinage of the coun
try by the adoption ot the absurd and now long
rbandoned "16 to 1" idea.

Story of a Gulf Hurricane
Lefoadle xtaaxs.
ALMOST every evening throughout the seaan
thare had tn dancing In tha great MJ1; tharo
wss dunclng that night eteo. The popdlatlon of tha
hotel had heen augment! hr the advent of families
from other parts of the ialand, who fwnd their slim
mer cottages Inaarure places of shelter; thare were
nearly four hundred guaats aaeembled. i'crhaps It was
for this reason that the entertainment hsd been pre
pared upon a grsnder plan then uaual, that It as
sumed the form of a faahlonable balL And alt those
pleasure severe representing the wealth and baauty
ef the Creole parlshaa whether from Ascenalon or
Assumption, fit. Mary's or t Landry's, Iberville or
Terrsbotine, whether Inhabitants of the mulll-oolored
and many balconied Creole quarter of the quaint me
tropolis, or dwellers In the dreamy paradlae of the
Teehe-etiingled Joyously, knowing each other, feeling
In seme Sort akin whether affiliated by lood, con
natursilsed by eaate, or simply Interassoeiated by tra
ditional sympathlea of claas sentiment and class In
terest. Perhaps In the more than ordinary merriment
of that evening something of nervous ex slut Ion mlht
hAve been dlanerned something like a feverleh reaolv
to oppoae apprehension wltn gayety, to combat un
eaalneaa by diversion. But ths hours pasaed In mirth
fulnesa; the first Smsral feeling of depreaalon began
to weigh less and less upon the guests; they had
found reason to confide la the solidity of ths maaslvo
building; there were no poattlve terror, no outapoken
fears; and the new conviction of all bad found expres
sion In the words of the hoet hlmaelf: "II n'ya rlen
rie mleus a fslre que de s'amuserl" Of what avail tl
lament the prospective devastation of eaneflelda to
dlecuas til poaalbte ruin of crop? Better to seek
aolace In rhoregraphlo , harmonies, la the rhythm of
gracious motion and of perfect melody, than hearken
to the dlarords of the wild orcheetra of storms ;wler
to admire the grace of Parisian tolleta, the eddy of
trailing robes with Its fairy foam of laoa, the Ivorlne
lovriintee of gloaey shoulders and Jewelled throats, th
glimmering of satin slippered feet than to watch the
raging ot the flood without, or th flying of the
wrack.
Bo the mualo end ths mirth went on; they made
Joy for tliemselvesthos elegant guests; they Jested
nd aipped rich wines; they pledged, and hoped, and
loved and promiaed, with never a thought of tb mor
row, on th night of August 10, we. Observant parents
were there, planning for th future bites of their near
est and detrert: mothers snd fathers of handsome lads,
lithe and elegant as young plnea, and freah from th
polish- of foreign university traloina: taoUars and
fathers of splendid girls who arm pleat attitudes were
witcheries. Young chreks fluahed, young hearts flut
tered with an emotion more pujaaant than ths excite
ment of ths dance; young eyes betrayed th happy
secret dleereeter lips would have pre'erved. Blav
sarvanta circled through th artatooratlo press, beerltu
datntiea and wines, praying permission to pass In terms
at once humbl and offlclous-always In the xeellant
French which well-trained hous servants wer taught
to use on such occasions.
Night wore on; still the shining floor palpitated to
the foet of the dancers; still th pianoforte pealed,
and still th violins sang, and the sound of their sing
ing shrilled through the darkness. In gasps of the gala,
to th ears of Captain Smith, aa he strove to keep his
footing on the spray drenched deck of the Star.
"Christ!" he muttered; . "a dance! Tf that wlnl
whips round south, there'll he enother dnc. But 1
g-uess the Btsr will stay."
Half an hour might have peed; still the lights
flamed calmly, and the vlollne trilled and the per
fumed whir! went on. And suddenly the wind
veered!
"Waltslng!" cried the captain. "God help them!
Ood help ua all now! The Wind waltses tonight,
with the Sea for his partner!"
fomeone shrieked in the midat of the revela; some
elri who found hr pretty slippers wet. What could
It be? Thin streams of water were spreading over
the level planklng-curllog about the reet of th
danoera. What could It bet All th land had bogus
to quake, even, a but a moment before, the polished
floor. was trembling to the fxesaurt of circling steps;
all the building shook now; every beam uttered Its
groan. What could It be?
There was a clamor, a panic, a ruah to the windy
nlsht. Infinite darkness above and beyond: but the
lantern beams danced far out over an unbroken circle
of heaving and swirling black water. Wealthily,
swiftly, the measurelesa sea flood waa rising.
For a moment there waa a ghastly hush of voices.
And through, that hush there burst upon th ears ot
all a fearful and unfamiliar sound, aa of a colossal
cannonade-rolling up from the south, with volleylmr
lishtntnga. Vastly and swiftly nearer and nearer it
came-a ponderous and unbroken thunder roll, terrlbj
as th long muttering ot an earthquake.
Th nearest malnland-acroaa mad Calllou bay to
the an m arsheeay twelve miles north; west, by the
gulf, th nearest solid ground was twenty mllee dis
tant There were boats, yes! but the atoutest swimmer
might never reach them nowl
, .
Then rose a frightful cry the hoarse, hideous, in
describable cry of bopeleas fear the despairing animal
cry man utter when auddenly brought lace to face
with Nothingness, without preparation, without con
solation, without possibility of respite. Pauve qui peut!
frVrni wrenched down the doors; soma clung to th
heavy banquet tables, to the aofaa. to the billiard
tablee-durlng one terrible Inatant-agwinst fruitless
heroisms, against futile generosities ragad . all the
frensy of selfishness, all the brutalities of panic And
then then cams, thundering through th blackneea,
tha giant swells, boom on boom! One crash! the huge
from building rocks like a cradle, aeesaws. crackles.
What are human ahrleka now? the tornado la shriek
ing! Another! chandelier apllnter; llghta are dashed
out; a sweeping cataract hurls In; the Immense hall
rises, oscillates, twirls as vpon a pivot, crepitates,
crumble Into ruin. Crash again! th swirling wreck
dissolve Into th wallowing of another monster billow;
and a hundred cottage overturn, spin In sudden
eddies, quiver, disjoint and melt Into th seething.
So th hurricane paused tearing off th bead of
th prodigious wave, to hurt them a hundred feet In
air heaping up tha ocean against th I&nd upturning
th wooda. Bays and paasea wer ewolleu to abysses;
rivers regorged; the sea marshes were changed to
raging waatea of water. Before New Orleans th flood
of the mile broad Mississippi rose six feet above high

OMAHA, Aug. JO.-To the Editor of Th

cataatroph In regard to Leo Frank has
happened T Yes, terrible! but there are
not words In th English language em
phatic enough to describe this black deed,
for with th lynching of Frank th mob
and all those who partook In the lynching,
have not cnly cast a dark ahadow on
themselves and on th state ot Georgia,
but on th entire country, as well as on
civilization Itself.
To think of It-that thla should happen
In th "Land of th fre end th horn ef
the brave," and In th twentieth century,
when we boast so much of progress and
civilisation.
W Americans look with indignation on
Russia In regard to th persecution of
the Jews there, and yet could a blacker
deed have been accomplished even In
Russia T
Let na bow eur heads with sham and

In the history of our country, as well
as la ail civilised countries.

SOUTH SIDE, Aug. JO. To th Edl
Itor of The B: In a report of the pro
ceedings of the Board of Education ap
peared the following: "Board Member
15. Holovtchlner called attention to the
deplorably rot ton condition of the South
Side school buildings. He ssserted
that vandalism was rampart, that desks
and buildings wer . defaced and that
th walls had apparently not been touched
by a brush in years." .,i ;
' I was a member of the Board of Edu
cation for four years previous to th
merger, and each year we set aside an
that could be spared for the repair of
ohool buildings. During that time we
Installed new toilets in several schools,
and did some Interior work each year,
replacing paper with paint whenever poa
slble. . Last year we painted the interior
of the high and Jungmann school as
most throughout with a high grade ot
flat wall paint A number of rooms In
other Schoola were also painted last year.
According to our school law we wer
compelled to keep wKhln the levy each
year, which w did. and turned over the
school district to Omaha free from debt
except bonded Indebtedness, and also
around ttO.000 In cash at the close ot our
school year. '
Our sunool buildings will compare
favorably and better with other towns
and cities. We do not know what th
purpos of Dr. Holovtchlner Is, but he Is
not stating facta when he makes such
statements. I remember that a short
time ago he waa talking loudly about
the deplorable condition of some of the
Omaha schools, but hav heard nothing
about that condition lately. Has that
been remedied? If not, would suggest
that he turn his attention again in that
direction. The people of South Sid
wer well satisfied with their schools
and this gentleman aeems to hav been
th only on who has discovered such
deplorable conditions. B. B, LEIQH.

AUDUBON, la., Auij. 20. To th Editor
of Th Bo: In a recent edition of The
Be I noticed an article In which a cer
tain party, I forget his name, tires to 'ex plain
th difference between a marine
and a bluejacket He then goes on to say
that as a rule a bluejacket looks down
on a marine and aenerallr there I an
tonfrlondly feeling between the two.
I would like to aa here, that th gentle
man has orawn from tradition In making
that statement and not from pre scot ex
isting conditions. In the early part of
the history of our navy the bluejacket
looked upon tha marina as a landlubber
beoause he did not have a ecaman'a train
ing. At the present time, irhil there
la always a feeling of friendly rivalry la
athletic sports snd th like, there are no
better "pals" on earth than a "gob" and
a "leatherneck" when they are on shore
leave and a Lao on and off duty aboard
ship.

Startling revelation to' th students of

Most of the play of Shakespeare, some
of the drama ot Goethe and Schiller, ex

Goldsmith, Ibsen, Dickens and many
others prove its adaptability. Authors
rind they can soon become efficient in

THIS LAND OF 0TJ13.
Lee Shipper In Leslie's.
There are mountain peaks and pass
wild with beauty all tnelr own
.There ar mountain lake and river
unsurpassable in dream,
There are seas of billowed grasses, val
leys thickly flower sown, n
Caverns where through midnight quivers
many an opalescent gleam,
There la grandeur past the painting, love
lines the nui acquainting
Wltn the thrill ef thna-s supernal and
th palm of thing drvtn
With the Master Workman's rarest
masterpiece, grandest fairest
There are mysteries eternal In this
land of your and mine I
There I history far older than the an
nals of mankind.
There are footprints left by nations of
far ages, all unknown,
There are traces of a bolder race and
on of lofty mind.
The remain of who ereatlona have
outlasted cliffs of stone:
There la legend, there Is story, there iri
romance, there is glory.
Wher history and mystery their an
cient lure combine:
Marvel old with awe to thrill us, mar
vels new with pride to fill ua,
Ah! what It waa and I to bo, this land
of yours and mine!
Our cities are the wonder et the ancient
fatherlands.
Our fsr-epread plains are srleamfng with
more wealth than MMu dreamed
Now let us pause to ponder on th treas
ures In our hands.
Th sifts bevond our dreaming which
from plenty' horn have streejned!
Let us honor our own mother our own
country first my brother.
, Let us learn to know her better than
ail lands bevond th brine.
For the beet sifts of creation God has
slven to our nation.
Hearts with bonds of lov to fetter to
tht land of yours and mine!
The Human Note
By Jam (yHara Day
NTERTAINMENT ia always
in demand. The world never
yet has been overstocked
with it. ,
And the surest way ot on
terrAininEr the lartrftst nnssihlft
number of people is the art of telling a good
story,
Give a man a good story to read, and you
immediately win his approval. Never for
get that every good story must deal with the
prime, elemental, stirring emotions of man
kind in other words, "hu man interest."
No tract on politics ever became a "best
seller." What readers want is the human
interest.
And so universal is the demand for en
tertainment in the form of stories that the
time has come when every up-to-date busi
ness man must realize the necessity of tell
ing a good story about his business.
A small percentage of people who happen
to be in need of an article will read the ary,
unadorned list of prices in the newspaper
advertisements.
But there is a way to get aU the readers.
You can do it by telling them an interest
ing story in the advertisements.
An inveterate reader of the monthly mag
azines told me the other day; '
"It is getting to be so that the advertise
ments in the magazines are as interesting
and delightful to read as the fiction stories'
That is the ideal of good advertising.
Put into it the personal element, the hu
man appeal. Do it either with illustrations
or with commanding words. Or do it with
both.
The house which is known for its human
interest advertising is the house which is
doing a big business and commanding a
whole lot of readers.
If your business methods, your stock and
your bargains cannot be made the bases for
a good story in the advertising columns,
there's something wrong with your estab
lishment. Every success has back of it a good story.
Every idea about valuable salesmanship is
an important discovery.
And there never yet has been an important
discovery which could not be described in
an interesting way.
Entertainment that is the one thing
everybody wants. Give the public the en
tertainment and the public will give you the
profits.
