The question of pensions for civil service emploje of the government Is again uppermost at the session of the national convention of mail farriers In Omaha. It vitally concerns not alone the mail men, but all those who are on the government payroll in appointive positions, whether It be federal, state, county or city. The extension of the merit system to cover public employes has had the effect of establishing the rermanency of employment, and making the holder of the Job as Independent of the vicissi tudes of politics as may be. In only one ma terial way may his present position be vastly Improved, and that Is by the establishment of a pension system, to which the older and du alled members of the force may be retired. The question has been up for debate for a long time, and much has been said for and cgainst It. Chief of the arguments In favor of the establishment of the pension roll Is that the service does not permit of advance beyond a fixed limit, and that the pay Is not such as to ensure a liberal competence, even by exercise of extraordinary thrift. The result of this con altion la that men cling to the payroll as long aa possible, and when removed by cause other tr an death or misbehavior, they are worn out, either by work or mishap. To be protected sgslnst an old age of penury la what the civil service employe asks of the government. Against the pension, the most frequent and po tent arrument is that it dtecourages thrift. The employe whose future is fixed by the govern ment will not be aa prudent with his own af fairs as If he knew himself to be dependent on his own efforts. Details of the plan need not be discussed now. That the principle baa been adopted in Cmaha as to school teachers, firemen and po licemen, indlcatea a strong local presumption In favor of pensions for government employes. The mail carriers are among friends, so far as this part of their work Is concerned, as well as on all others. Great Day (or Cheering. Labor day was a field day for enthusiasm everywhere in this glorious land, but nowhere did personal vim rise to higher tide than In Chicago, where the "Frlenda of Peace" held their first annual convention. These devotees of a great cause shouted loud and long for al most everybody on the map, except the kaiser and King George. Congressman Volmer was cheered for roasting the president because of his foreign policy, and William Jennings Bryan was cheered tot defending the man he deserted. Apparently, the delegates were so strong for peace they would have cheered even for T, R., had some one brought blm to the front as a topic for a laudatory address. For some reason Con- ressman Barthold ducked the meeting, and thereby missed out on an ovation that would have lightened his path during the tedium ot the coming session of congress, nor waa our sen ior present to press his cause and get his share of the plaudits. The convention overlooked the embargo issue, but the resolutions adopted Indl- te a willingness to keep the peace and help all others do It. The question as to whether the cause of peace has been forwarded is open, but it is very sure that no munition factories wfil be closed as tha result of the gathering. "Made in Omaha" means that it'a made by well-paid, intelligent men and women like those who marched In our Labor day parade by men and women who help to make Omaha the up-to-date, progressive, good town that it is. Colonel Bryan congratulatea President Wil son "upon the successful settlement of the sub marine controversy." While the colonel's pen fashions smiles of this character the call tor a government department of humor la premature.

Great Britain's latest invasion of the United Ptates in impressive enough, and In time will orae to receive the attention it deserves. Just now it Is likely to be passed over a an Incident In the course of a stupendous political and economic upheaval that involves the world In its cataclysmic manifestation. One hundred and eighty millions in gold and gilt-edged American securities have come from London to New York within a fortnight, the richest of modern argo sies, to buoy up the credit of the Allies in their business transactions with the manufacturers ot th United States. In time of peace such a dem onstration of actual wealth would be unneces sary, but conditions now prevailing require the immediate presence of the caah. To aome de giee this situation la prophetic of what must fol low the end of the war, for international credit v 111 yet be disturbed, and Europe's great nations will find the effects of their present debauch of destruction a heritage fo generatlona yet to come. Nebraika'a Tax Boll. According to the flgurea furnished from the taxing board at the atate house, the total wealth of Nebraska foots up to almost two and one-half billions of dollars. This total Is probably not t'iry far under the actual wealth of the state, but It Is not very Impressively set forth. Mere bigness of figures Is not especially desirable, yet even normal modesty will warrant the truth1 bo lug told, and the world Is not aware of oar atate hubit of dividing our possessions by five In order to obtain a basts for th tax levy. For this rea- ton the array ot figures as published Is likely to five a distorted Impression of the true situation ii Nebraska, l-'or example, It will be rather em larrasslng to have strangers think w possess only f4.0C0.000 worth of household goods for the accommodation of a million and a quarter of well-housed Inhabitants. Nor is It likely that the roll sets forth the exact conditions as regards any division ot our wealth, but so long ss tha Mascot method prevalla, so long will certain dierrepuncVes and Inequality exist. The diffi cult problem of devising a satisfactory method for valuing property for taxation purposes is still unsolved. - , New York to Frisco by Auto With Stop-Over at Omaha KsaUy Pert la OoUlere w HAT F.VER made you think of taking auch a trlpT" asked someone. I had to think a momant. "Tha advertlae ments mora than anything elaa. They were all ao optimistic; they went t my head! 'New Tork. te Han Kyanclaco for $:' 'Go to tha expoaitlon In a 7. rar.' "Travel luxuriously from your own door through unsurpaaaed acenery, and over the world s greatest highway, to the Pacific ahora,' until It began to seem rather a delight that tha good roads of Burope were cloeed." One nueetlon, however, wa could not answer, and It waa the most Important question of all which route were we going to take? We had no Idea, and no idea how to find out! The Bryan plan of drafting for the first Hue of defense, in case of war, all editors ho advo cate war lacks the broad national reach of the American party program put forth in Iowa. This calls for a popular vote on the question of war. every ballot carrying the name of the voter, and should a majority favor war, those so voting would be required to do the fighting. Aa ad mirable method. It would prevent editora monopolising the glory of war and glv every cltlien eager for a acrap an opportunity to shoot aa he voted. Chicago reports a meager number of enlist ments for the coming military training camp at Fort Sheridan. Where thousands were expected less than 200 ao far have turned in their, names Considering the seal of the promoters, the paucity of voluntary enlistment painfully Jolts The 1914 Blue Book waa out of print; tha new one for thla year not yet leued. I went to tba office of the A. A. A. at a wrong hour and found It, naturally, closed. Meanwhile we applied to varlotie Information bureatia soma of those whose advertise me nta had aounded so encouraging but their peraonal anawars were mora optimistic than definite. At tha Automobile club, a very polite young man was answering questions with a facility altogether fae"lnatlng "I would Ilka to know tha' bast route to Ban Franrlaco." f "I'nfortunately," he aald suavely, "wa have not all our Information yet. and wa eem to be out of our west ern maps! But I can recommend aome very delightful toura through New Knglsnd and tha Berkshlres." "But, yon ae. Pan Francisco la where I am going. Do you know which route I,- If you prefer It, tha least hadr- "Oh. I see." He looked aorry. "If you muet croee tha continent, there Is tha Lincoln highway!" Once outilde, however, tha feasibility of salting our road as we came to It did not aeem vary practloal, ao 1 went to Brentano'a to buy aoma mapa. They showed ma a large one of tha I'nlted States with four routes crossing It, equally Mack and atralght and alluring. I waa deciding upon the onaa through tha Alleghany mountains to Pittsburgh and Pt. Loula when two women I knew came In, rne of them Mrs. Z., a oon plcuoua hoateaa in the New Tork social world, and a Callfornlan by birth. "Tba very pareon I need. ' I thought. "She knowa tha country thoroughly and her Idea of comfort and mina would be tha same." "(Tan you tell me," I asked Iter, "which Is tha beat road to California?" W ithout hesitating she replied: "The Union Pad'HS." "No. I mean motor road." Compared with her expression tha worst skeptics I had encountered were enthusiasts. "Motor road to California!" 8he looked at ma pityingly. "It can't he difficult; the Lincoln highway goes straight atroat " "In an Imaginary Una Ilka tha equator!" Bhn pointed at the map that waa opened on tha counter. "Once you get serosa the Mississippi tha roads are Just trails of mud and sand. Thla district along here by the Platta river Is wild and dangerous, full of tha moat terrible people, outlawa and "bad men' wha would think nothing of killing yon If they were drunk and felt Ilk It. There lan t any hotel. Tell roe, where do you think you are going to atop?" I began to feel uncertain and let down, but I said: "Hundreda have motored acroea!" "Hundreds and thousands of people have dona things that It would kill you to do. I am sorry," sh aald, "if you really wanted to go! By and by maybe, If they ever build the roads and put up rood hotels, but even then It would be deadly dulL" ' Aa a last resort T returned te tha A. A. A. This time the touring authority wa at his desk. "I would Ilka to know whether It will be possible for me to go from hare to San Francisco by motor?" "Sure, it's possible! Why Isn't It?" "I have been told the roads are dreadful and tha accommodatlcna worse." "Tha roads are all right." Ha acoantad "roada." "I waa wondettng If there were hotels" "And what If there aren't? Splendid open, dry country; won't hurt anyone to aleep out a night or two. It'tt do you good! A doctor'd charge you money for that advice, I'm giving It to you free!" Where, oh, where Is the weat that easterners dream of tha west of Bret Harte'a atortea, th eceoea depicted in tha moving plcturea? Wa have gone halt the dlatanre across, and all thla while wa might b anywhere at home. Cmaha Is a perfectly "eastern" city, and tha Fontenelle 1 a lovely, big, new, up-to- date hotel, ao attractive that we are going to etar over a day and luxuriate In our rooms. Tha rlvwr toffee-colored and Council Bluffa la not at all Ilka the Paliaadea f the Hudson, as wa had Imagined, but a high hill back of tha city with th "best real denies" on It. in most eastern oltles automobiles are chased away aa though they were loitering trampa; they have to keep moving along. In Omaha there are aloe little halked-off parking places In tha street where motors can atand undlatuibed. I wish New Tork and Boston would follow their example. All of Omaha society aeema to coma to tha Fon tenelle to dine. Just as we in New York go to Sherry's or tha Rtti. They came In molore and parked thero all down tha street. In Omaha, too, wa saw tha first avldencea of fashion dresses that looked Ilk walking pages out ef various women's mag&slnee. Indeed, they were too much dresaed. A really weil-dreseel New York wuman seldom, and a Frenchwoman never. glvea the appearance of being especially dresaed up, She lonka as though she happened to put on a blaoJc dresa or a white one, but never a though ah bad put on tha black or th whit one! 'It la all very well, ot euuree; you have had fine hotels and good roads ao far. but wait until you com to North Platte!" That la th substance of what everyone haa aald to ua. Why. 1 wonder, doaa everyone pick out North Piatt any mora than any other of tha places? It began with Mra. Z. In New York. Her point of view, r oooree. Is rather effete, so It doaa not bother ua muoh. But In Chicago, too, tha people pitied us for having to go to North Platte. And when drummer fJownstaJre said: "1 guess you won t like the hotels at North Platte overmuch," it got on our nerves. I asked tha drummer if he had been there, and ha aald: "No no one eve - stsya In North Platta except the railroad man they have to'" iThat Is tha one unexplained phase about the question no one that we have aeen has personally been there ) Of all the bogey atortes! Perhapa If wa had Imag ined that Me were going to find a Blackatona or t Fontenelle we mould have been bitterly disappointed tut. compart d to some other holela along tha Lincoln highway, the I'nlon Pacific In North Platta la haven of delectshlllty. Aa a matter of fact. It la an ocher-oolored wooden railroad station, with a regular railroad lunch coun ter, a rather bare office, and perfectly decent, clean bedrooms u pats Irs. It Is not a place where one would care to stay very locg, but It ta patronised by rail road men. and there are no loafera or drunkard hanging about. If one had never to put up with any thing harder than apending a night In North Platta, no one need hesitate to croaa tha country on that ao, ount. There waa one exceptionally bad hotel; the next day we pa a tad another hotel a little further on that looked batter. Th roada ara quite up to specifications hi good weather, and aa angina capable of speed could, cover much of tha distance la rartng time. But th a peed laws of Iowa allow twenty-five and Nebraska twenty miles an hour aa top-speed limit! Acroea Nebraska from tha laat good hotel In Omaha ta the first com fortable on In Cheyenne, or really good one In Den ver, la over & mtlra. At the preecrtbed "speed" rf about seventeen miles aa hour average. It would meaa a pleasant little run of thirty hours along a dea4 level, wide, and straight road, where, aa far as tha ay can aee. there Is not evea a shack In tha dimmest distance The anly settler to be aeen are pralrta doga. and tha only living thlnga on tha road rattle, snake!

Sept. 7.-To th Editor of Th Be: Th other morning I waa tiding with a land merchant and a representa tive ot an organisation of capital. Bald tha land merchant: "Let me tell ou. John, without our friend hearing It, that for rent' signs are becoming too plentiful la Omaha." John very solemnly an swered. "You are right. O truth a Is be coming overbuilt. People are leaving old houses and demanding new ones." I ran turned an explanation, when John re marked, "I did not think t was going to atart a single tax discussion." For the benefit of all let me aay that you cannot speak of "for rent" stgna and overbuilding" In the preaenoe of a alngla taxer without starting something. So listen to a few faata. Omaha ha been singularly free of "for rent" algns for many years. If you do not wish to see It Join the Denver and St Louis class In this respect, listen: Capital and labor unite to produce wealth. Th primary essential for them both la land. Neither can do a turn with out land. Tha land la owned by a few. Therefore both muat pay tribute to those few. Th more enterprising they become th greater beoomee th demand for land. Conaquently tha higher will rise land val ues and rent. The greater must then be come the tribute paid to tha land owner and the lee will bo the reward to both capital and labor. This la a plain and pavlpable truth, but on which organlsa tlona ot capital, In their ignorance. Ig nore: one which, In Ua Ignorance, organ ised labor does not aee. To those who believe (and I am one of them) that Billy Sunday will Improve tha moral tone of Omaha, let me aay: It ha does It wilt stimulate local enterprise. It will encourage people to come here. Omaha Will grow. Land valuaa and rents will rise. Both capital and labor will pay still higher tribute to th owner of the land. Finally the atraln will reach the breaking point. Decline will commence. Then what will become of the moral tone? It muat decline, too. For a laborer Who la hungry cannot view moral principles In th same light aa when he Is well fed. Oh, If Billy Sunday, with his great in fluence, oould but grasp these funda mental economic truths. He would then think a little more about aiding In tha building of an aconomlo foundation upon which might rest a religious and moral atructure more enduring. For the souls of men will never be reached and purified, and ao maintained so long ss there re main a struggle for existence. L. J. QUINBY. Wars of Celalagr Xf eney. OMAHA.

In the writer's humble opinion there never wa a religion to compare with th almple teachings of tha meek and lowly Jeaue. made complex and ua certain, by tha dogma of th church la aa after day and that he never taught.
