The Freedom of the Sea.
Commenting on Germany's proposed course
la dealing with the United States over the Ara
bic Incident, Chancellor von Betbman-Hollweg
expressed the hope that our government would
renew the effort to Induce Great Britain to con
sent to a modus vlvendl under which the com
merce of neutrals win not suffer unduly through
the Interference of belligerents. This question
Is one of the most trouble-breeding between
nations, and has been In all ages. The right of
neutrals to freely trafflo between one another,
or with non-contraband articles with belliger
ents. Is usually admitted, and, until the present
war, was supposed to be firmly established.
But agreements made In time of peace be
come very irksome when either party to them
engages in war. In the present Instance Great
Britain has a tremendous advantage, and has so
far used It without special regard for the feel
ings of any nation. The powerful British navy
Is performing the mission for which It was
created, but recognition of this fact does not
make Its activity the more palatable. No one
wiuhes to limit the legitimate operation of the
king's navy, but some sort of boundary should
be put to Its domination of all the seas. The
greatest of maritime nations, whose existence
depends on uninterrupted passage of the seas,
ought to be the first to defend the rights of
neutral commerce.
A modus vlvendl may be established to re
lieve temporarily what has become a most un
pleasant situation, but when the war is over this
question of freedom of the seas must again have
Immediate and serious attention.
Municipal Home-Bale Variations.
With the demand for a larger measure of
municipal home rule so widespread and continu
ous, the action of the New York state constitu
tional convenUon upon the subject, after careful
consideration and debate, Is worth at least a
passing notice. New York state heretofore has
empowered the legislature to enact and amend
the city charters subject to a veto power by the
itayor of any city specially affected overridden
tnly by re-enactment. An effort to provide
complete municipal autonomy along the lines of
our recent home rule amendment to our Ne
braska constitution has not met with favor, the
provision accepted, as we understand It, permit
ting cities to make their own charters through
a popularly-elected city charter commission with
approval by the people, but only subject to en
dorsement or rejection by the legislature. To
this the objection naturally urged was that the
cities were to be given home rule with a legisla
tive string tied to it.
On the other hand, the New York proposal
to a large extent balances this Invitation to out
side Interference by limiting the legislature in
its law-making for cities to general legislation,'
end completely abolishing the refinements of
classification as a screen for special acts for but
a single city. The exercise of legislative powers
relating to the property, affairs or municipal
government of any city, "except as applicable
to all the cities of the. state without classifica
tion or distinction," Is to be definitely prohib
ited. It goes without saying that if a city char
ter can no longer be built expressly for a par
ticular community, many of the evils and abuses
of our too-prevalent charter t'nkerlng will be
self-effaced.
Of course, the revised New York constitution
is not yet adopted, and may not be, but If It Is
ratified and put Into practical operation, these
(novel features will be closely observed by stu
dents of municipal government everywhere.
The Leading Export Nation.
War has raised the United States to the
proud position of the leading export nation of
the world. This Is but one ot several points of
prestige to which we have nationally attained
aa a result of the disturbed condition abroad, but
which we may reasonably nor to retain It
proper efforts be made. That we have sent
abroad more of goods and wares than any other
iiatlon Is not at all to be wondered at, since the
other great manufacturing nations have been
devoting their attention for a twelve-month or
longer to destruction rather than production.
Of course, this reflection takes a little of the
pride out of the achievement. Whether our
Ksnuracturers. will be able to hold the great ad
vantage they have in trading after peace has
again been declared and the manufacturers ot
Europe resume their activity, will depend upon
the conditions that follow the war. It may be
very well understood that no effort will be
rpared by the Europeans to regain their lost
position, and consequently American manufac
turers will need every possible encouragement
and assistance from the home government. In
the contest for the business ot the world the
fighting Till be quite as fierce as any the world
has ever known, and preparedness is as essential
to meet this economic, situation as to withstand
a possible attack from army or navy of a foreign
country. That thla preparedness does not He
in the direction of the Underwood tariff, or any
ot the other political nostrums suggested by
the doctors of democracy, must be plain to alL
If the United States Is to stay at the head ot the
procession In world commerce and Industry, It
will be necessary to return to the practice that
made possible the development of its factories,
forms and mines. The republican party is de
voted to this cause, and the prosperity ot the
country Is sate under Its management.
Just as the campaign for suffrage Is devel
oping speed In the Empire state the authorities
of New York City announce plans for the erec
tion of a ten-story jail building for the exclusive
use of women. The project la far in excess ot
present needs, but by Implication anticipates a
business boom with the coming of political
equality. This may be regarded as far-seeing
ireparednees. In other respects It lends force
to the remark of the weeping widow of a rich
contractor who, on viewing a floral anchor be
side the bier, exclaimed: "Who had the bad
tAtte to send that pickT"
The voles of CoL Henry Watterson is pitched
in the fighting key, and loud enough to be heard
at Oyster Bay. The terror of the "man on
horseback" no longer disturbs the colonel's
dreams and he applauds Roosevelt's war cry
as right and hot stuff. King Ak-Sar-Ben's pep
has not invaded Kentucky because the blue
grass region produces "something Just as good."
Power of Persistence
.BTewvpeperdona
SEJVERAt, hundred yeare ago a avlenllut named
Glnko Wlnoman dlacovered that the moat "prr
atatent" thing known in the annala of time was
the sun. In writing on the matter he said: "The sun
Uoke to the Job of Illuminating the world every day
In the year. It may shine here totfey and somewhere
lae tonight But It la always and persiatently' guid
ing men. 'Perslatency Is what has made men win
battles when all seemed lout. Peralatency has been
and will be the cardinal feature of success."
-Glnko certainly got It light, for "persistency" Is
the magnetlo power which makea every bualneas
succeaafut. To every man who Is driven by this great
and recognized power there are one thouaand men
who slide along life's pathway without thought of
Glnko Wlaeman's truth.
"Peralatency" applied to sdvertlaln methods by
newaneper men Would work almost Inconceivable bene
fits. Seven out of every ten advertising men talk cir
culation, advertising records, etc., and are seemingly
content with a contract for one time or limited space.
If theae same men were to preach "peralatency" to
the advertiser and prove In an Intelligent way that
"peralatency" would eventually help build up the ad
vertiser's business, advetlsera would In time recognise
the absolute truth. Plerpont Morgan became tho
world's greatest financier because of "peralstency;"
Barah Bernhardt became the leading actreaa of her
time becauao of "perslatency" and her disregard of
temporary failure in her early days; Edison has be
come the world's wixard In electricity because of
"persistency;" Wanamaker haa become the prince of
merchants because of "persistency;" MoAdoo brought
t great sucoesa his under-rlver tunnels because of
"peralatency" and In the face of discouragement of
supposedly skilled englneera. and Roeblmg put the
Brooklyn bridge over becauso of "persistency" which
dominated Ma physical and mental power and at a
time when there were no set rules or parallels in
bridge building.
"Persistency" made Post "the klnr of the prepared
food manufacturers: "iwirslanv"
prince of chew-chew makers; "peralatmcy made SchllU
t" greatest ana moat sucoeaaful of American brew-
peralatency" will make any newspaper ad
vertising man or any advertiser permanently success
ful. The fundamental nrlnrlnU nt m.., i- .
tislng campaign should be "persistency." Thousands
of advertisers have failed to reach the goul of busi
ness sucoesa benauae persistency" was not the dom
inant factor In .their advertising nlnna Ti.. in.i.m
to appreciate the word "persistency" by many news-
iicr puun.nera accounts ror the continued strugglo
for existence which surrounds their propositions.
OtnkO Wife man's truth haa been iKunnil.ll w-
millions of men. The a mull m.rrin nt ktu
have recognised the meaning of the word "perslst-
m:jr nave inumpnea in overflowing measure. "Per
slsteney." or everlastingly keeping at It, is far more
necessary today In business life than in the' days of
Glnko Wiseman. Particularly because advertisers havo
now conreaeo. tnai tne newspapers have the magaslnn
tied up In a knot when it cornea to hooking up local
purchasing power with local merchants. The per

going.
Economy as a Habit
-Theo. x. Vrloe la The Outlook-
IN AMERICA the Influence of European example
Is already noticeable. Lost winter was the most
disastrous season the New York theaters have
had in years. The purveyors of unnecessary luxuries
la the United States are unanimous In reporting the
poorest bualneas they have ever experienced. Tho
Importation of diamonds, one of the surest exponents
ot extravagance, has fallen to a minimum. At the
fashionable watering places there la but little frlvo
loi'i expenditure this summer despite the enf orcod
detention In this country of those who usually spend
large sums In European travel.
At the fashionable hotels and restaurants the at
tendance Is small, the expenditure modest, and sev
eral of them have red need prices or have Introduced
the Innovation of "half portions" for one person by
way of attracting tbe economically Inclined.
Doubtless all this Is due In part to tae sadness and
sympathy with suffering that pervades the World,
but it also reflects the universal tendency toward
economy that is the result ot European necessity and
example.
The leaders of society In this country can perform
a substantial service if they will enoouroge economy
by example In every way poaslble. It Is a mistake
to believe that self-denial Is painful or distressing. It
mortifies a false pride, but the joy of adjusting ex
travagant tastes to a small Inoome can beoome Just
as keen as that ef doing anything else that Is diffi
cult. It is merely a matter of mental and emotional
training.
Nearly every one ef us would be better for eating
less, walking more, and having fewer clothes to
worry about and choose from.
If fashionable women would put the stomp of their
approval upon the three-course dinners of simple food,
both host and guests would have better digestions and
more enjoyment
Probably It la futile to protest against extravagance
la women's dress, but on article In the Atlantlo
Monthly, some months alnoe, which urged "uniforms
for women" on social occasions, similar to the con
ventional dress suit that men wear, might be widely
circulated and read with profit.
The effect of a well-organlxed compatra for the
encouragement of economy In America might indeed
be beneflolol In many ways that do not at first sug
gest themselves. For one thing, It would undoubtedly
enoouroge early marriages and bring dotnestia happi
ness within the reach of many young men and women
for whom It ts now a hope deferred because they can
not face the social Isolation which a small Income
implies.
Then, too. It would diminish the present adulation
ot wealth and eogerneas to be rich, and bring about
a much-needed change In the Idealism of American
youth.
In political affairs the effect would also be felt,
for, having eecotne careful In our own expenditures,
we probably would become leas tolerant of wasteful
ness in the government .
Most Important of all. It would develop the strength
f character that la always the product of self-restraint
and both the Individual and the nation would
be better mentally, moioUy and phyaloally. '
The war Is deplorable, but It will be more deplor
able tf Us lessons are unheeded. Of theae one of the
moat Important la the folly of extrovogoaoe and the
wisdom ef economy.

OMAHA, Aug. 27.-TO the Editor of
The Bee: In one respect I am like
Liego C. Corlos I know nothing about
"Monoglot"
lie says some very nice things about
Esperanto, tho International auxiliary
language, but prefacing the same with
an "if."
I can assure him the "if is unneces
sary. Here Is a concrete example of
the shortness of the time in which one
can learn the fundamentals of this truly
wonderful language.
A young man wrote me a long letter In
Esperanto nine dr. ye after receiving an
Instruction book-the first knowledge he
had of such a language being In ex
istence. Here Is also sn Illustration of the pres
ent standing of Esperanto in the world
today.
The Germans, whose efficiency all
must acknowledge whatever our sym
pathies in the present contest, have
adopted Esperanto as the language In
which to give their aide of the story ot
the great war, and are sending their of
ficial war reports, bulletins and mag
asines to delegates throughout the world,
whose names appear In the Esperanto
year book. They began thla very early
in the wan in August or September of
last year.
In April of this year the French olso
began sending out their side ot the story
in Esperanto.
In this world crisis no other language
has received such an Indorsement an
indorsement that speaks louder and car
ries more weight than ail the adjectives
I have at my command.

Jto War Is Catwseless.
PIaATTSMOUTH, Neb., Aug. M. To
the Editor of The Bee: The conflict
now raging In Europe has been de
scribed as "The Causeless War," but
since no one would be bold enough to
lay the blame for such an unholy situa
tlon upon on over-ruling providence, it
must find Its origin In acts for which
man, and man alone, is responsible.
It Is not a race war; on the contrary,
the races are quite Inexplicably mixed.
Latin joins Saxon; the Frank Is the
ally of the Slav; while In the opposing
ranks Teuton and Turk fight side by
side.
Neither Is In a religious war. On the
Bosphorus the cross and the crescent
make common cause; Protestant kaiser
and Catholic emperor have linked their
fortunea together and hurl their veteran
legions against on army In which are
Indiscriminately mingled communicants
of the Greek church, of the Church of
Rome and of the Church of England.
Nor yet is It a rivalry between fam
ilies. The leading actors In this unpre
cedented tragedy are related by Mood,
but kinship seems to be a negligible fan
tor It explains neither friendships nor
enmities.
No; race, " religion and family, each
with many wars to answer for, can
plead not guilty in the present inquiry.
What then was the cause? If we have
correctly analysed the situation, the war
la the natural. result of a false philosophy.
The fundamental precept of this false
philosophy a that "might makes right"
It is not proclaimed now as loudly as It
once was, but It Is often acted upon In
particular cases by those who would be
unwilling to endorse It as a general
principle.
Today we plead with the American
people against war with Germany; to
morrow. It a . similar condition arises
and we are brought near to war with
England, or France or Russia, we shall
plead as earnestly agaliist war with any
of these nations. In any nation anxious
to get Into trouble with usT No, not
one ot these belligerent nations desires
war with the United States. They are
so mad with each other they forget that
there ts anybody else In the world.
No one con speak for all the people,
but if each one speaks for himself the
voice of the people will be beard, and,
being heard, will save this nation from
the possibility of war and keep it In
such a position of neutrality as will
enable It to perform Its highest mission
of mediator to the waning nations and
peacemaker for mankind.

gar Howard or Riohard U Metcalfe and
others from accusing us with writing
the above merely to get our name in the

The Awtosnobtle Sltmatiosu
OMAHA. Aug. 27. To the Editor of The
Bee: There seems to be so much apparent
difficulty thrown around the regulation
of automobile operation in the cities, In
cluding Omaha, that a word on the sub
ject might not be out of place.
The automobile. Including the Jitney
bus, has come to stay. They are a port
of the development of rapid transit but
they should be regulated and this regula
tion should be mode entirely for the safe
ty of the community. There la no reason
why a Jitney should be required to con
form to a regular schedule more than
that any other automobile should be made
to so conform. If the jitneys are to be of
the greatest service to the community
they should be permitted to run as the
person being carried desires. That this
may make them more popular with the
publla should be no afralr of the regu
latory powers and if they are successful
competitors with the street cars It will
only be a repetition of tbe competition
between the railroad train and the stage
coach.
However, all automobiles should be reg
ulated and their operation so conducted
that the minimum of danger may exist
A few months ago I submitted to one
of the former city commissioners a plan
which I believe will materially decrease
danger and at the same time moke pos
sible more rapid movement ef automobiles
within the city limits. Thla plan, briefly,
is to set aside certain streets for the
operation of automobiles, giving such
vehicles the right of way over such
streets and prohibit the operation of them
on other streets except between the per
mitted street and the point of destina
tion. Omaha Is fortunately situated for
the adoption of such a plan. There ore
no car tracks on Howard street west of
Twentieth, Douglas west of Fourteenth.
Capitol avenue, and north ond south of
these streets there ore few if any places
where there are cor tracks on immedi
ately parallel streets. The Thirteenth and
the Fifteenth street lines are lightly
operated and west of Twenty-fourth
street there Is be cross track until For
tieth street Is reached. The continuous
operation of automobiles could easily be
barred front the streets containing street
cor tracks, except Thirteenth and Fif
teenth and Harney east of Twentieth,
permitting them to run on theee streets
from the nearest permitted cross street
to their destination. ' allowing

them to stand n such streets longer than
a certain (short) time.
On the streets where they ore permit
ted they might be allowed to run at a
higher rate of speed than now allowed,
while in making the run of the closed
streets the speed should be reduced to
the lowest limit
Horse-drawn vehicles would then have
right of way on the streets containing
etreet Car tracks and on such streets
automobiles should be operated subject
to other traffic, while on tho "open"
streets other traffic should be subordinate
to the automobile.
It seems to me that if this plan were
adopted the Jitney should not be sub
jected to any other route schedule than
any other machine.
