Germany and the Onen Set. i
The imperial Oerman government ha jut
made two moves that win have a direct and im
portant bearing on the controversy between the
rentrals, represented chiefly by the United
States, snd ths belligerents over or pan traffic.
F irst is the order to commanders of submarine
boats that they mast give the merchantman the
benefit of any doubt that may exist, and not
attack unless absolutely certain of the enemy
character of the vessel. Beyond, in event of the
interception of a ventel carrying conditional
contraband, unless It be expedient to convoy the
prize to a home port, it must be allowed to pro
ceed unharmed. This latter point grows out of
the Frye case. Carriers of absolute contraband,
under the Declaration of London, will be de
stroyed. This modification of the attitude hitherto
assumed by the German government will serve
well to support the contention of the United
States as to the rights of neutrals, and comes
very gracefully at this time. While the Decla
ration of London has not been fully applied by
either of the belligerents in the present war,
particularly with regard to Its classification of
contraband, its principles In the main have been
recognised as governing commerce scross the
anas. The greatest complaint, however, has
arisen through the arbitrary course pursued by
the belligerents, which course Is now being mod
ified by Germany, with concessions that must be
equally matched by Great Britain.
The American note to the British govern
ment on the point has long been in preparation,
several times remodeled, and may be subject to
yet further revision in the light of the German
agreements. Slowly a much-vexed question Is
approaching a rational solution.
Another Mjiterioni Disappearance.
While Mr. Bryan was secretary of state, his
Commoner devoted from six to ten psges of each
lesue to the "Work of the Departments," ex
plaining in sympathetic detail, with many pralse
ful adjectives, what was being done at Washing
ton under direction of his cabinet colleagues.
When this feature was inaugurated. It was ex
plained, as we recollect it, that nothing was
more Important to ths people than the adminis
tration of their government, and that to keep
them correctly Informed of the valuable and
valiant service which the democratic party, with
the advent of President Wilson, was able to ren
der took precedence of everything except Mr.
Bryan's personal expounding of democratic doc
trine. Mr. Bryan is no longer secretary of state,
and the "Work of the Departments" is no longer
narrated in the Commoner. What his succes
sor and his former colleagues are doing to save
the country, and remedy the Ills from which ths
eppressed people have been suffering, is appar
ently no longer of paramount Importance. With
Mr. Bryan's retirement, ths space which waa to
Instruct and elevate our cltlsenship by keeping
them Informed of what is doing for their benefit
by the democratlo officeholders and pie-biters
bss suddenly succumbed to mors pressing de
mands. Far be it from ns to suggest that sines Mr.
Hryan became a private citltsn the "Work of the
Departments" has deteriorated so that It Is no
longer worth mentioning, much less praising.
For us to hint such a thins would auhtact us to
tbs charge of black republicanism and rank par
tisanship. Nonetheless, the mysterious dlssp
pearance from ths Commoner of this union n.
orary feature calla loudly for ths beet detective
talent for its speedy unraveling.
Side Swipes at Sunday
Ii Omaha, Stiff -Kecked t
Complaint comes up from the tabernacle
that ths "trail" Is not sufficiently crowded with
seekers for pardon. Is this to be taken aa a
sign of stubbornness on part of Omahans, or Is
It proof that those who throng the meeting place
are already saved? Word was sent out that the
narvesi was npe, snd ths reaper were few, but
now that the force is fully assembled, and the
work is under way, ths sheaves brought boms
are small, and ths gleaners find but few stray
stalks to gather. A Des Moines man chides ns
for not following ths example of that city, and
swarming down ths "trail" in crowds. May it
not be that the appeal which brought the unre
generato Hawkeyes to their hunkerbonea Is not
ths one designed for this villager At any rate,
there's still some Urns left, and Omaha may yet
determine that ths way to eternal happiness lies
down ths sawdust trail. Ths accusation that
ws are tightwads waa removed at the moment
for action, so may the thought that ws are an
responsive to ths calL Be patient.
"And a Utile Child Shall Lead Them,"
The parochial visitation of Colorado by John
D, Rockefeller, Jr.. has been marked by several
rotable episodes, but by none more beautifully
than that afforded by his call at the Trinidad
public school house. Here ths great centals of
Industry and finance listened with wondering
ptuence to a lecture on business management
from the little daughter of a miner, in which
ths child stated some of ths fundamentals of
success. Shs told him nothing hs did not know,
for hs has experienced all ths rare delights of
studying Investments and securing large profits
from quick turnovers, and knows the ins and
outs of the game as well as any living man. The
novelty of having business principles so clearly
expounded by a school girl must have pleased
him, and It must be pleasing to all to know that
In that little school exist the germs of future
leadership In finance. These germs are not to
be found there alone, for the poor have to early
master the hard lessons of life, one of the most
important of which Is thrift
A 33 H per cent Income tax such as proposed
for (Jreat Britain looka like near-confiscation.
But wait and consider this case: Next year's tax
rate in Omaha Is to be 100 mills on ths one
fifth valuation, or a per cent, of the full valua
tion. If you have a S per cent municipal bond
Hated by the assessor you will pay I per cent ot
its face valuation la taxea, or 40 per cent ot the
income it brings you. No war tax la Omaha or
Nebraska, either!
Since the close of the civil war to dale the
United States has paid to the men who fought

siderable satisfaction 111 being able to stand up In a
pulpit and tell people In plain and forceful language
what you think of them, the way "nilly" Sunday
dors. The average Individual If he exorcised such a
prerogative, would probably wake up to find himself
In Jail.
Franklin News: The Omaha rV saya that
"nilly" Sunday verges on profanity In his sermons,
but then Omaha baa been used to that sort of thin?
for a good many years and always seemed to like
It. as they return Mayor Pahlman at election with
Increased majorttlee.
Albion News: "Billy" Sunday and Jim Pnhlman
are engaged in a contest to see which can ameer
the other with the moat soft soap, "nilly" says Jim
Is a dinger," and Jim saya "Billy" Is a "corker."
"BUly" gets his reputation "skinning" the boots

his prominece to those same Institutions. It Is
predicted that Jim will be converted and extend hla

know, and I don't"
"Nebraska doesn't know Hitchcock." he went on
"and I suppose never will. Ills Is a remarkable case
of a life lived eut of Ita element. All hla Ufa Hitch

circumstances Into positions and associations with
which ha had no real sympathy. That ta why Hlton

OMAHA. Sept 23. -To the Editor of The
Bee: The lowly Nasarene who walked
tho shores of Galilee almost X,Ono yeara
ago crying, "Peace on earth., good will
toward men," waa neither a mountebank
nor a contortionist He did not lie with
his belly on tha platform or hla feet on
the pulpit while delivering hla divine
message to his disciples and the world,
he did not stage a vaudeville performance
for the gate receipts, he did not appeal
to the hysterical aide of human nature,
he did not threaten mankind with hell,
ho wooed humanity with love. The calm,
convincing gospel he presented eventually
christonised almost the whole civilised
world. He did not hate sinner, and he
had infinite compassion for the sins and
fall urea of Imperfect humanity. He real
ised that true conversion must be baaed
upon an Intellectual acceptance of great
truths. He did not storm or rave or
rant and the sublime truths he taught
were accepted, not only by the hearts of
men. but by their Intellects as well. He
did not ostracise the poor sinners from
the communion table of his compassion.
The mighty ocean hurl. Ita gigantic bil
low, on the coast and leavea its wreck
age on the shore, but the ship sails
safely Into tha harbor on placid aeaa and
the religion of Jesus Christ was not a
storm, but a calm.
I do not believe that humanity can be
frightened Into Christianity, I do not bo
Hejve that tha temporary Insanity of
excitement has aver brought a soul to
Ood, and I do not believe that the world
haa ever been made batter by the rant
and roar and riot of anathema or de
rrunclatlon. Men cannot ba seared Into becoming
Christiana, and In my judgment there are
no lasting converts who profess to accept
the faith under the stress and tumult of
excitement.
I am a descendant of ten generations
of Americana, all law abiding christian
men and women with hearts open In ten
derness and pity for those who go astray,
and to bring them back requires more
than the fear of punishment In this world
or the next When tha froth and the foam
of the remarkable pyrotechnlcal spec
tacular supposed revival la over, I do
not believe that there will remain for
any length of time one single soul saved
to God by all of It

OMAuA, 8ePt a,To the Editor of
The Bee: At various times In the United
States there has been raised In one way
and another for Judicial construction tha
question of what U tha purpose of a
newspaper, What 1. Its proper function
In the community, and what Its duties
and llmltatlona are? And tha general
rule laid down is that tt la not only tha
privilege, but tha duty of a newspaper
to collect and publish Impartially, and
with aubatantlal accuracy tha news and
tha current events of the day la which
the publlo are Interested.
Those af us here In Omaha who have
accepted that view are at a loss to know
why the Omaha newspapers have so sud
denly abandoned that purpose and offer
their readers practically nothing but
commercial advertising on the one hand
and free advertising oa tha other ef aa
alleged evangelist and his "sermons,"
hla personal affairs and those of the nu
merous members of his staff down to
tha last detail.
It Is true, in verification of an historic
proverb, that people are coming Into tha
city In thousanda and commercial ad
vertisers are profiting hugely by tha In
flux, but a newspaper fail. In Its duty
to the publjo when it permits lu adver
tising contracts and interests to dictate
the contents of Us new. columns to the
exclusion ot everything upon which the
general publlo wish to keep Informed.
We deem it no part of the duty of the
secular press to engage In a reUgloua or
quaal-rellgtoua crusade, but If they were
desirous of doing so, tha Omaha newspa
pers have had before them for years a
far more worthy field for such an en
deavor than they have nr. The writer
Is a Catholic and not a Protestant, but
knows that there have been and are
hundreds of ministers or all Protestant
denominations In Omaha, whose Uvea are
Identified with the Interests and welfare
of the city, who have set splendid ex
amples of cltlsenship, untiring, sincere.
God-fearing men. beside whom this per
vert Is not worthy to crawl; hut their
work, like charity, has been largely Its
own reward, and scant mention have
they received, being now assembled like
a group of delinquent Juveniles and In
sultingly rebuked by their illustrious su
perior for their short comings.
We do not disapprove without having
seen or heard. We have dona both. The
shallowness, tha gross lino ran re of the
man Is betrayed la his swaggering gait
of
and bearing. In his everr lineament
feature, and the same ls farther ttensr
fled by every sentence triet he utters.
Most amusing to us was Mr. Sunday's
attempted presentation of Paradise aad
the t-ert from Moore's Lai la Rookh. Here
Mr. Sunday essayed a display of hla
knowledge of the classics, and succeeded
only ta disclosing his appealing Ignor
ance. The Perl, ba staled, hi seeking
the moot precious thing upoa earth
brought gold aad the Jewels ts tha gate
of heaven, offering them to tha angel aa
the condition of his admlssloa there.
Nowhere la the poem are either af these
mentioned, hut aa Mr. Sunday can think
only In terms of gold his interpretation
la not surprising.
Wa have said that Mr. Sunday la at
liberty to preach and believe what ha
tabes. So also sr-i the Presbyterians.

of hla scurrilous and obscene denuncia
tion since coming to Omaha. Aa for tha
Catholic church It Is accustomed to such
and cares not a fig for bla Impotent rav
ings, but wa cannot believe that m such

KlfOCEOTO NOAH.
W. J. Lampton, In Judge.
Ah. Noah, you archaic one I
Who had a chance to do 1
The world a favor and did not,
Tha world Is sore on you.
There was a time in your career
When easily you could.
By very wimple means. Indeed.
Have made exceeding good.
That time, old chap, was when you'd
bunched
All living things In pairs
And had them loaded on the Ark
To land betimes sotnewherea.
Two elephants you had and two
Of every other else
And shape and sort. Including of
Two plain domes tlo flies.
Auspicious moment that was when.
If you had had a mind.
You might have truly made yourself
A friend to all mankind.
But Noah, you were derelict
And lost the glory prise
By falling, when you had tha chance.
To swat that pair ef flies.
