Money, like the professional politician, keeps m weather eye cocked for the main chance. The Bunday campaign la entering lta third week. Just beginning to get lta speed, as It were. Conaiderlng what happened all along the l'oe, maintaining a toe-hold on Galicia ta some achievement for Russian armi. To the heat-etlfled Inhabitants of eastern cities we can only repeat Horace Greeley's ad vice, "Go west, young man, go west." Those rival prohibition campaign managers night, at least, exercise a little temperance In their vocal belaboring of one another. Conceding to grape Juice all that the label claims, it remains to be seen whether Its punch can smash the Ud of the judicial age limit. National crises which appear mountainous la the foreground shrink to a sand dune in the background. Diplomacy is an expert deflator. Our municipal Auditorium will have to be kept busier than that to make it produce full returns to the public on the Investment of tax payers' money. A summary of the dead and injured by Zep pelin raids on England looka like the automobile accident record of a big American city. Peace Lath Its horrors as well as war. "Billy" Sunday's for-men-only sermon sub ject is. "When Chickens Come Home to Roost.' The feathered kind certainly do, but as to the ethers go and listen to "Billy."

The Western Laborer repeats The Bee's ad monition, "Give Omaha-made goods the prefer ence whenever there is a preference to be given," with the addition, "but, insist on the union label." The amendment Is accepted. , Women ia Men's Shoes. The demands of war upon the vitality and lives of the male population of Europe are open ing up for women practically every occupation hitherto monopollted by men. Necessity pro vides the opportunity. A moderate estimate places the number of men In the various armies at 10,000,000. At least halt as many more are engaged In providing sustenance for soldiers and supplying implements of destruction. All the places vacated by the call to arms did not re quire new bands. The demoralltation of nor mal business reduced, It it did not wholly de stroy, the need of help. Only In the industries directly linked with war has the demand, for help reached abnormal proportions. Into these Industries and the necessary activities of city life women are crowding in ever increasing lumbers. Women workers long have been factors in the industrial life of France. Not so In Eng land and Germany. Men dominated the indus trial life of both countries, but the war has shot their domination to pieces. In both countries women are employed as street car operators and conductors, city firemen, mall carriers and mall clerks, train guards, station agents and traffic officers. In many mills and factories hitherto closed to them, women now outnumber men Even In munition factories women are working beside men under the high pressnre of quadru ple shifts, and performing dangerous aud deli cate tasks as carefully and quickly as more ex erlenced men. Borne avenues of activity now open to women may be closed to them when peace comes. The greater number of fields Invaded must remain In their possession if for no other reason than that the diminished supply of male help will nader their employment necessary. But, the future aside, one tangible result of the war is apparent. New industrial empires have been opened to women, and the dependents of yester year are tfee independent of today. Bryan and the Olive Branch. The proposrd solf-iniposd mission of the li-te secretary of state to the warring nations ot Europe as a private etnoy of lare has several easily noted features to commend it. Mr. Hryan, as the most outspoken of all the present ly advocates of universal peace, himself feels that his Idess can be more effectively presented In person than by mall, and he lonfts for an opportunity to talk to the warriors now tearing tip everything within reach In pursuit of their destructive bent. Few, if any, of these have c-er felt the melting influence of the great com i.ioner's persuasive eloquence, and there is no telling In advance Just what good effect his hortative discourse might not have upon them. If Mr. Bryan were successful in his mission end restores peace to the world, he wtll have done an inestimable service to humanity. On the other hand, if he were to encounter a stiff necked, proud and bellicose people, stubbornly refusing to listen to his pacification projects, he might help us all to learn a really serviceable lnsaon as to the make-up of human nature. At first glance the experiment seems something like that tried by Kins Canute, when he bad the rising tide desist, but appearances may be deceptive. It should be encouraged, however, for the possible benefit It may have on belliger ents and the peace missionary alike. Impulse, Reason and Eugenics. From the Washington headquarters of the American Genetic Association comes advice to follow your Instincts, if you want to be a eugen ist. This advice is so contrary to what has t.itherto been conceived to be the chief end of (he genetic cult that It fairly takes one's breath. We had been taught by those who have cham pioned the cause of race improvement through better breeding that eugenics was an accurate science, based on concrete and demonstrable facts, and had nothing whatever to do with im pulse. Laws for the regulation of marriage Lave been based on human experience to a cer tain extent, and those proposed have been founded on a theory that cause produces effect in man the same as in the lower orders of ant t lato creation. Therefore, mating should be a process of fitness, determined by tests of various rort, to the end that ultimately physical and lt'ental neaknesses will be entirely eliminated and man will stand alongside instead of just below the angels. Dr. Samuel C. Kohs, expert psychologist at tached to the Chicago House of Correction, says: Wa are liable to overemphasise the Importance of conscious, superficial, intellectual factora over thorn which are unconscious, Inmite, org-anlr. The superiority of 1 net I net over reason Is that It reicu Iaten conduct In the Intereat of the apeclea at every point, while consciousness la selfish ami la exactly measured by the degree to which the Individual has broken away from the dominance of the race and art up for hlmaelf against it. How fur this new doctrine will gain support in not clear: rather, it seems more certainly doomed by its very novelty to encounter strong opposition from such scientists as have gone deeply into the subject, becsuse it does under take to replace conscious reasoning with sub conscious Impulse. A wit once remarked, "Im pulsive people are apt to have black eyes," to which may be added they are also apt to have a lot of trouble that might be avoided If they vera guided a little more by cold reasoning. However. Cupid is still doing business at the old stand, and It isn't likely he will shut up shop because of Dr. Kohs and his kind. The Newi Value of "Billy" Sunday. The Bee is receiving many compliments and some criticisms for its handling of the "Billy" Punday revival meetings as a dally news feature. The compliments naturally come from those who are in more or less sympathy with the Sunday rovement, while the complaints come from two sources those who think the space allotted to this subject far in excess of its importance, and those who would exclude all other newspaper reading to give Sunday unlimited and paramount preference. When the question was first propounded to The Bee as to what treatment It would accord the Sunday campaign, the answer was that its rews value alone would govern. But news values, like all other values, are strictly com parative. The reports of the Sunday meetings end sermons are now crowding the war and general news, and the reason may easily be seen lu the figures of tabernacle attendance. The r.ost conservative estimates count approximately 180,000 people having already heard Sunday since the opening of his Omaha engagement not all different people, to be sure, but If two- thirds of them are duplications, we still have 60,000 people sufficiently interested personally to go to hear him. What other one topic ot current news right now, except the war, can command the interest of an equal number of men, women and children? Swallow with a Grain of Salt. Reports of normal conditions prevailing in warring nations should be well salted before taking. Newspapers are an accurate barometer of national life and business conditions. Less than halt the dally newspapers of Paris before the war exist today, and these have shrunk to less than half their normal site. British news papers have likewise suffered a severe cut in alie, because advertising has all but disappeared. Vorwaerts, the Berlin organ of the ocial-detuo-tratlc party, reports that 1,200 newspapera and periodicals of Germany have suspended publica tion since the war began. Any pretense of normal conditions prevailing in the warring countries or anywhere In Europe may be set down as rubbish. Well, well! What's this? A plea by our amiable contemporary for vacation schools, pointing to Boston in illustration of their success and economy, although, of course, after the vacation Is all past. Omaha used to have vaca tion schools, too, but they were abolished by the School board two years ago without protest by the newspaper that has suddenly discovered their value. The Bee owes Gus Rente an apology, for, come to think of it, it was needlessly degrading to the artistic conception and execution of that Ak-Sar-Ben wooden horse to mention It along with the hideous "Welcome" arch that disfig ures the approaches to our beautiful court house. We also apologize to the horse. At n ttoto aoiivim. Jt PT five years aso I was in Mexico City attendln the celebration of tna centennial anniversary of hi Xtxlran republic. Even while our editorial party wsa still down there, sporadic outbreaks axainst the conatitutHl authorities were being reported, but no ono for a moment regarded them of a aerloua nature, or harbored the remotest Idea that they would soon develop into a rasln Insurrection that would be art 11 : unfuppresard five years later. What terrible destruc tion war i an work, and how hard R Is to and It, la Illustrated by the sad experience of Mexico. Nearly all ot the Important personages who figured In that gala centennial celebration of 1910 have passed off the stage. Including LMas. who had the principal role, and Corral, then vlre president and supposedly his deatlned succeeaor. while the few who survive, like Llmantour and Creel and Delia Rarra, driven Into the obscurity of exile. We can see the havoc of fire yeara' war in Mexico. Can anyone possibly imagine whet would be the condition of Europe If the great war over there, which has already run mora than a year, should have a five-year's duration? I received a poatal card from Germany thla week containing a poem as "an answer to Woodrow Wilson. Washington," translated, although written originally. In Herman by John Berllt, who Uvea In Kaasel and who notes that he "stood at The Bee's cradle." In this reminder Mr. Berllt Is correct, for he was em ployed aa bookkeeper for The Bee In lta early days, in which capacity perhaps some of the old-time Hermans here may rememtier him. He afterwards returned to the fatherland and when I waa abroad waa engaged In what Is calied "Kolonkil Waaren" business, or dealer In grocery Importation In Kasael where, by a peculiar Incident my father and I visited him as his g-uesta. Before I tell that story, lt-t me print the poetry, whlcli douhtleaa reflects the thought and attitude of many educated and Intelligent Ocrmana on the protests our prealdenf has mnile eftelnat the Oermiin subsea war fare. It reada as follows: AN ANSWER TO WOODROW WILSON. "Our blood seta boiling while wa read your note We shan't subject us to your filthy code To perverse stinking foul hypocrisy IJke far from loglo and philosophy. 1 1 era Is our answer, honest, clear, precise May come what may, be peace or war tha price, "Look back Into your books of famous are nrman asnlstance etanda on every page Frledrlch der Clrosee bravely stood by you When Knglmd sent to crush you her vast crew And when Si-reaslon's snake lifted Its head The German people waa your friend and mate t'neounted thoueancis ahed their precloua blood While Franca and Bngland 'rainst the Union stood. "We want no thanks, our action was dictate I-lctta of moral duty, friendship to your state All that we want Is: that by honor bound Tou deal with ua and foea on even ground. "As long aa England outrages tha sea Ht.irvation being Its most Christian (lee, To shelter our seventy million nation We shall destroy without any cessation Whatever ships on road for England's shore. Our I'-boata beat them irreparable sore. That seventy million save their precloua life Americana may keep afar our strife. We fight for liberty of godcreated ocean While England's egotism Is solely Its motion Ours Is tha price, oure the rlghteoua cause Our moral strength will conquer all our foes And should, misled, you Join tham-then for blame In history 'twill ba a page of shame. And now, America, make ready, choose. Much la to win for you and all to losa." Meaae don"t blama the Engllah peoullarltlea upon Mr. Berllt, for his poem Is composed in beautiful rhythmic German, the translation being credited to "Pr. phll. Heldt of Wiesbaden," The way we camo to visit Mr. Berllt (it was In the early 're), fives an Insight into the wonderful ef ficiency of the German pcatoffice. Our arrival in Parla waa chronicled In the New York Herald there, with an accompanying Interview with my father, men tioning that he was carrying letters from Postmaster Oeneral Wanamaker to the postal officials of tha con tinental eountriea to enable hlra to look Into tha pro greaa attained abroad by the postal telegraph. It waa at least two months after that before wa reached Rrrlln by a circuitous route. We registered at our hotel In the morning, and when wa returned at noon a letter was delivered addressed ta "Hon. Edward Roaewater. Care of the Postmaster General of Oer. many." Thla letter, as It transpired, was written by Mr. Berllt, whose attention had In aoma way been called to tha Tarts New York Herald Item, translated and copied Into some German paper, and ha naturally, and without thinking It anything- at all unusual, had addressed his letter in th-t naive faahlon. perfectly confident that it would in due time be delivered to tha person for whom It waa Intended. Mr. Berllt muat now be close to TO years of age. Wa had laat heard from him nine years ago when ha Bent a very feel In 4 letter of sympathy upon the death of my father, of which he had read the cabled announcement In tho Frankfurter Zeltung, Twice Told Tales No fcace for lllm. A man was on trial before a Wisconsin Judge for horse stealing. When it came time for tha lawyers on both aides to tell the Judge what Instructions they wanted him to give the Jury in adiUon to the polnta covered in hia own charge, tha attorney for the de fense aald: "I respectfully aak your honor to charge the Jury that It la a fundamental principle of law In this coun try that It la better for nlnetr-nlne guilty men to eacape than for one innocent man to be found guilty." "Yes. that Is true," aald the Judge, reflectively, "and I so Instruct the Jury; but I will add that it la the opinion of the court that the ninety-nine guilty men have already escaped " Harper's Magaslna. Hm4 i 0-0 rttiM avals yZ Tha Pbyllta and Joe Da via race drew about 4,000 people to the fulr grounda a peed ring, who, however, were grebtly d'eappointed and dlseatlafled with the hippodrome character of th raoe.

"A court room," she says, "is a sacred place, at least It ought to be regarded as such. For this reason it is no place for a Judge or anybody to chew tobacco. It certainly Is no place to work off a spree." May it pleaaa the court.! The milk distribution system inaug urated by Nathan Straus for the benefit of New York a poor twenty-four years ago has become one of the notable mod ern philanthropies. The total distribu tion from eighteen stations since the sys tem waa started amounted to 2,173,218 bot tles and 1,441.680 glaaaea of milk. The milk Is specially prepared for safeguarding the health of children and the alck poor, and la aold at cost, Mr. Straua providing for the expense of distribution. WHITTLED TO A POINT. Every man knows a lot of fool things he would do If he had the money. A young man can make any girl bluah by telling her he la a mind reader. Some spinsters advance atep by atep un til they finally become stepmothers. You'll never succeed a a wheelbarrow or lawn mower chauffeur unless you have push. There Isn't very much danger In pro posing to a young widow if you really want to marry her. It is likely to fool an American heiress when a foreign nobleman talks through bis cornet Instead of hia hat. When a man Is willing to go without bis dinner to do you a favor place his name at the top of your list of friends. Tha wagea of sin is paid in full only when the Job is completed, but lots of men draw something on account each day. It la easy for a man to pose aa a so cial favorite if he has the ability to let out a line of silly talk and can write a check for a goodly sum. And It frequently comes to pasa that by helping our friends they become our enemies, and by helping our eneralea they become our friends. Chicago News. CYNICAL REMARKS.
