France a trees to permit exports of wines to
the United 8tates. Callfornlans are fitting out
tank steamers to carry their wines to Atlantic

While rejoicing over the favorable turn' of
American relations with warring powers, let us
not forget the condolences due to war alarmists.

of conversation will avert fisticuff. '
' Appropriations for' Defense.
When the congress convenes three months
hence, about tbe first real business presented to
It will be in connection with the program for
defense. The fight that will ensue over' this
bas already been forecasted by a report made to
the president by Senator Tillman of South Car
olina, .chairman of the senate committee on
naval expenditures, who announces there wtll
be no more money spent o ."pork barrel" army
posts or navy yards. The senator did not give
a definite list of the navy yards he proposes to
abandon, but his Keneralitatlon will suffice to
preface the campaign he evidently has deter
mined upon-; How far he speaks for the senate
c nnot be told, although It Is reasonably certain
he will be continued aa head of the committee
on naval expenditures. The other chairmen of
senate committees having to deal with the ap
propriation! for army and navy purposes are
I'oindexter of Oregon, chairman on army ex
penditure, and Lee of Maryland, chairman on
coast defense. In the house only two commit
tees are required, and Hay of Virginia was
chairman of the committee on military affairs
at the last session, and Padgett of Tennessee
was chairman of the committee on naval affairs,
'ihejie committees wCl be reorganised when the
congress convenes. .
When tbe army was reorganised, several
years ago, many smaller military posts were
permanently abandoned, the reservations
broken tip and sold. If the strength of the or
ganizatloa is to be Increased to any considerable
extent 1. Is. not likely that many more army
pouts will be done away with. Some antiquated
fcavy yards may be given over, but the proba
bilities are strong that none will be left out of
tre appropriation tni except after a hard fight
One Way Out of the Dilemma.
Kltber democratic incompetence or demo
cratic negligence hss created a condition at the
MMe house which threatens to become serious
lo Xebmnka tsxpayers. To our mind, the posi
tion taken by State Treasurer Hall Is unshaks
Me, namely, that he csnnot lawfully pay out
public money In his custody without a legisla
tive appropriation of it, and that to do so would
he a palpahle violation of the constitution which
he has taken oath to obey and enforce. The
failure of the legislature to make appropriations
does not warrant his Ignoring of the state con
stitution even on demand of the governor or the
cdvlre of the attorney general, nor would it be
t.ne whit safer for the governor to disregard the
law as proponed by Intercepting the fees col
lected by his appointees, and using the money
without putting It through the treasury. At
the seme time it would be In the nature of a
calamity, we admit, to stop altogether the work
of state food Inspection, to say nothing of the
loss of revenue if do Inspection fees are earned.
While The Bee has no responsibility what
ever for the democratic trouble-makers, we may
rudest one way out of the dtlemma for Which
there is lawful precedent. Let the governor and
treasurer arrange with state dsposltory banks
to advance the needed money, which the legis
lature fallod to appropriate, as a loan to be
drawn on with due safeguards, to meet these"
requirements, and continue to pay the fees col
lected Into the treasury, depending on the next
legislature to make a deficiency appropriation
reimbursing the amount advanced. This was
once before done when the cost of bringing
home the First Nebraska regiment was met by
a popular subscription raised on the distinct
promise that the legislature would afterwards
provide for the return of the money. We real
lie that this is a roundabout way out, but It
could be adopted without calling the law
makers In special session and without making
any public official Invite Impeachment.
Consolidated Country Schools.
Superintendent Thomas' address to the
teachers of Douglas county Is a reminder that
progress in country school methods has been
slow. In peculiarly apt Illustration he points
out how we have co'me up from tbe ox cart to the
automobile, but still cling to the one-room dis
trict school house.' The consolidation of coun
try schools has, however, gone, beyond the ex
perimental stage, and in many' of the older
states the districts have been brought together
in such manner as to very closely approximate
city methods, with all the advantages thus af
forded for the proper grading of pupils, the or
ganization of the course of study, and for econ
omy of administration. Nebraska may not be
quite ready to take this up as a general policy,
because of the fact that in many counties the
population Is yet considerably scattered, but the
last legislature passed laws which make possi
ble the union of one or more districts, and where
the plan may be advantageously adopted It will
surely be put Into practice. The state's bent In
vestment is, In its cftlienahlp, and in tbe devel
opment of that citizenship the public school Is
an element that cannot be neglected.

A Chanca for Neighborly Courtesy.
With the Council Bluffs Commercial, club
driven by fire out of house and home Just at a
time when the inconvenience is apt to be most
felt, our Omaha Commercial club has a fine
chance for neighborly courtesy. Let our hand
somely equipped Omaha Commercial club quar
ters be offered to the folks across the river, If
not already placed at their disposal, and more
rartlcularly for the meeting of the League of
Iowa Municipalities, for which Council Bluffs
Is preparing. Whatever Omaha can do in a
friendly manner to help out Council Bluffs In
this emergency should be done, and should be
done without walking for requisition; for the
situation presents a rase where reciprocity and
co-operation are strictly In order.
Effect of Batet on Travel.
In' their eager striving for restoration of
former passenger rates western railroad man
agers flout the claim that the lower rates stimu
late travel. They assert that the reductions
procured by law have not Increased the volume
of business sufficiently to offset the cut in fares.
However this may be, the railroad men In this
attitude Ignore the automobile cutting into rail
travel as well as the disturbance of war. Tbe
former Is certain to continue as a factor In local
transportation. It is equally certain that elec
tric, lines will expand with population and grow
In public favor by reason of reduced rates. A
return to former passenger rates would tend to
force resort to other means of transportation.
This has been demonstrated In two striking In
stances. The Reading railroad formerly en
Joyed a great volume of suburban traffic at Phil
adelphia. An advance In rates sent thousands
of patrons to the trolley lines, and many trains
formerly crowded are now, according to the
Philadelphia Record, "operated at a loss." Even
more Impressive Is the experience of the Boston
& Maine railroad with advanced passenger
rates. In June the slump in passenger revenue
amounted to 14.0 4 per cent, compared with
June, 1914. The wise railroad manager Is he
who looks ahead at ultimate results.
A Demand and Its Answer.
When all the world's business was upset a
year ago much of Inconvenience was promised
for the United States because of the stoppage
of sources of supply depended upon to provide
certain articles not produced in this country.
The very natural answer to the demand thus
created was found In the preparations to pro
vide for the home market by supplying home
products. This could sot be done at once,
chiefly because of the lack of means for the
necessary manufacturing processes, and to some
extent because our manufacturers hesitated to
embark 011 the new ventures while the duration
of the war was uncertain. But enterprises) of
various sorts have been launched within the
year, and are still being put forward, to the end
that more and more of the articles hitherto im
ported are being produced here. Unwonted ac
tivity in certain lines of manufacturing has
overohadowed theae new undertakings to con
siderable degree, but from time to' time bits of
information make their way Into print, giving
Ks of the new lite that is springing up in in
dustry In the I'd 1 ted States because of condi
tions forced by the w
Ticrrom lOtnrina
fTHlERr78 loU of history hark of the "Billy" Sun
X day tabernacle. What I mean Is that If the alta
upon which the tabernacle la located could onijr
apeak. It could tell a atory that would be almost aa
fascinating, and often as atxlklnlt, aa any of tha
dlarouraea with which the Rev. "Hilly" will Inspire
hla audiences. .
My flrat recollection of the block on Capitol ave
nue between Fourteenth and Fifteenth la that of a
low flat-lying vacant around. I believe I attended a
rlrcua or two there when a boy. The Fifteenth and
Davenport corner (which la not In the tabernacle
site) m occupied by the Flrat Baptist church, a
brick building qulta pretentloua for the early days
It was not until about IMG that the Capitol avenue
aids of the square was taken over for the erect.on
of what was called tha "Exposition huhding." be
ing a long-, low structure, with square corner tur
rets, covering- the whole half block, Utile cuhby-hola
shopa looking out on the street fronts, reaching
back under the gallery, the Interior being or the
usual arena or Auditorium type. Tha flrat use of this
building waa for the exposition, a locally promoted
industrial exhibit, which enterpria'ng Omaha business
men got up to supply the void left by the loss of thu
state fair to Lincoln. Theie expoaltlona e.e suc
cessful in every respect financially, and In the In
terval the exchequer waa replenished from time to
time by utilising the building for other purposes.
It waa at thla period that bicycling and roller
akating were the height of novelty and all tha fad
Roller-skating In tha old Exposition building waa a
delight to young nnd old. There waa so much straight-of-way
room making It easy for timid folks who dia
liked the continuous turns In the smaller rinks. But
the bicycle racing furnlahed mora exciting sport, and
the tournamenta pulled off by thoae kings of the
wheel. "Jack" Prince and "Tom" Bck, and the other
cycling celebritlea, were memorable events. Thera
were professional races and amateur races, six-day-races,
and go-as-you-please rarea, and Just bi
cycle raoes. Tha old building echoed and re-echoed
with the plaudits of partisans of tha different favor
ites as they made a spurt or gained a lap or nosed
out at the finish.
Another famous engagement In the old "exposition
butldlns"" or rather two engagements. I believe was
the season of grand opera given by the American
Opera company with Its unequalled galaxy of stars.
For this purpose an improvised stage waa fitted up.
and for a week at a time, with even'ng performances
and several matinees, tha etmdard operas, Wagnerian.
Italian and French, elaborately staged and costumed,
were rendered with full orchestration and choruses
by world-famed singers In a manner that baa never
been matched In Omaha since then.
In due coarse of tlmn the "Ehrposttion building"
encountered the same trouble which similar venturea
too often have an increasing difficulty to make re
ceipts cover expenses beoauae of its limited uae.
As a consequence when it reverted back to the Pop
pletons, by whom the ground had been leased to the
building association. It was divided in two by a wall
running north and south across the middle, the Fif
teenth street end being turned into a theater called
the "Grand Opera house," and tha Fourteenth portion
being reserved almost as it waa and from then on
called the "Exposition halt." The theater shared
with tha old Boyd and later with, the new Boyd the
patronage of amusement goara At first tt 'presented
the usual variegated bills, Including soma of the flrat
magnitude, but afterwards had to take the leaner
road shows. Tha "Exposition hall," on the other
hand, was rented out for all sorts of entertainments,
dances, wrestling matches, prise fights, lectures
political conventions, 'church gatherings, ete.
It la significant that when the Methodist general
conference met In Omaha, that rainy month of May
In 1892. It was here that the sessions were held, the
hall being marvellously transformed to furnish a
comfortable place of assemblage for all the bishops,
lay delegates and other notables of that great church
organisation who came here from all over tha world
It is also significant that on the same spot where
"Billy" Sunday is about to hold forth the B. Fay
Mills revivals were held, twenty years aifo, under very
similar auspices of a combination of protestant
churches.
Of political conventions, I recall two in particular
held In thla exposition hall that proved epoch-making
In the" politics, not only of Nebraska, but of the
nation. Theae were the two state conventions held tn
1894, to whloh may be traced the movement that
culminated In the nomination of Mr. Bryan for presi
dent at Chicago two years later. At the republican
convention, the forced nomination of "Tom" Majors
for governor by questionable methods led to the sen
sational refusal of The Bee, and Its editor, Edward
Rosewater, to accept and support the nominee, and
was followed by the first fusion by the democrats
on Holcomb, the populist nominee, after a spectacu
lar bolt by the anti-Bryan democrats, who held a
rump convention of their own at tha Paxton hotel.
That was all very exciting, and will make an Inter
esting story In Itself If I ever tt to ll-
The old "Exposition building" turned Into "Grand
opera house" and "Expesttlon hal" finally -burned
to the ground. It must have been in the early spring
of 1895. supplying a fiery conflagration as its last
was cleared up. but except for tha small store build
ing on tha Fifteenth atreet side, nothing In tha way
of a permanent structure has taken Its place.
Strange to aay, our beautiful new fire-proof Au
ditorium, which has just coma Into possession of the
city, tn a sense waa transplanted from the "Billy"
Sunday tabernacle alta. The fund with which tha
Ardttortum waa built took Its start from the profits
of a series of open-air band concerts which were held
tn a tent on this Capitol avenue square. A muaical
festival association had been formed to supply tha
taste for popnla- nrusio developed by the Trana
Mississippi exposition, angering Bal'stedt'a Cincinnati
band, and later Ellery's Royal Italian band under
Ravelll aa leader with such success that a neat sur
plus' remained In the treasury. Tha directors of thla
musical festival association thereupon became tha ac
tive promoters of tha Auditorium, mak'nc way for
the Auditorium aaortatlon as their successors by
whom Its construction waa financed and completed.

seriously Injured, the tent stoned, and the

Baltimore American: Tha fall opening
of the churches is something much more
than perfunctory resumption of the rou
tine of church worship and work. It
means a flgurtnjr forth of the open doors
of spiritual opportunity and the open
doors of spiritual service and the open
doors of Invitation to the mercy seat of
the Almighty. And they who worship
Oxd sincerely and In truth will repair
to the church services at tha very first
and thus give their presence tha Influ
ence It should exert for the stimulation
of tha church In enterprise and effect.
For only as the workers are ready can
the work go on.
Boston Transcript: To save the coun
try from tha 111 effects of a deterioration
within the ministry, all the Protestant
churches should adopt at once thla (Uni
tarian) definition, read In San Francisco:
"An adequate salary for a minister In
any given town or city is the amount
which will enable him, hla wife, and two
dependents, to live with reasonable econ
omy In a respectable house. In sufficient
comfort to maintain the health of his
family; to take sufficient recreation; to
keep up hla professional standards
through the purchase of books and maga
clnes. and by attending conferences; and
to make due provision for Illness and
old are." And when this definition has
been adopted, every parish should de
termine at once to fulfil Its terms for Its
minister.
