Calling British diplomacy "ghastly" Is an

Balkan auction.
Here's a suggestion for the next style show

the feature of the exhibit be a small-scale re

It Is not the price charged by the city for
the Auditorium that counts as much as the price
of admission to be charged at the door. A pub
licly owned auditorium should offer popular
entertainment at popular prices, so that all of
the people may share the benefits.
British Diplomacy,
British diplomacy In the preeent world crisis
does not measure tip anywhere near the stand
ard of days gone by. When such giants as Dis
raeli, Gladstone and others who led British
statesmanship In the past, are recalled, the
efforts of Earl Grey seem more than ever futile
In comparison. One London paper, reviewing
recent events, complains that the failures of the
Foreign office have been "ghastly." This Is a
mild term to apply, when the seriousness of the
situation so far as the British empire Is con
cerned. Is realized.
The failure of the negotiations with the
Balkans is not the most costly of a series of
J British diplomatic blunders, running back to the
' days before the war commenced. The most stu-
rtndous of these mistakes has been the British
dealings with the United States. In this matter
the attitude of Great Britain has been one of
reliance on the strength of friendship of a cen
tury, taking It for granted, apparently, that we
v.ould be willing to acquiesce In almost anything
that might be done, short of open affront, thus
alienating sympathy and support that might
otherwise have been unquestioning. If any
kindly feeling for the Allies remains here. It is
iu spite of, rather than because of, the actions
of Grat Britain.
Events of the utmost magnitude are now
shaping, and It need not surprise any if the
ultra-conservatives, who have so far had much
to say as to England's course In the war, are
shaken from their hold on the destiny of the
empire.
Co-Operatm Thrift.
A notable exhibit of progressiva thrift
despite the disturbance of business In war time
la shown In the annual reports of Nebraska
building, aavlngs and loan associations sum
marized by the State Banking department. The
fiscal year ending June 30, last, covered the
first eleven months of the world war and the
most critical period of disrupted business. Yet
the report gives no material -evidence of re
tarded business or arrested development.
The assets of all associations,'-aeventy-one
In number, total $41,$0,000, a gain bt 14.(22.
000 over the preceding annual report and ex
ceeding by 1296,000 the Increase of the normal
business year of 1913-14. A corresponding
gain Is noted In membership, which has ad
vanced to 63,765, an Increase of 8,411. Re
ceipts for the year amounted to 324,343,000, a
sum threefold greater than the total assets of
the associations ten years ago. The chief Items
of disbursements wtre 3.311 home loans and
3.804 building loans. All this vast business
was handled at a salary cost of 1202,000. lues
than 1 per cent of the total.
Saving and home ownership are the founda
tion upon which these associations have bullded
to heights far beyo'nd the dreams of the found
crsT Like all financial Institutions striving for
support and public confidence, years of struggle
were required to demonstrate their usefulness
and reliability. Once that goal was reached,
progress equalled the ability of the managers
to employ the money. In the last ten years the
gala In assets l almost sixfold, and fivefold in
annual receipts.
Only seven states In the union outrank Ne
braska in this line of co-operative work. No
state wtit of the Mississippi or south of the
Ohio equals the progress making here. And
this high rank has its roots la protective laws
firmly and wisely administered and the foatering

, Eoyal Blood of Powhattan.
The lineage of President Wilson's fiancee,
Mrs. Onlt. Is said to be traceable(to Pocahontas,
fair daughter of Powhattan, wife of John Rolfe,
and victim of London'slvlllzed way of living.
What could be more appropriate than to have
this member of one of the real First Families of
Virginia presiding, as first lady of the land, over
the affairs of the White House, and, by her good
counsel and charming way, shaping In some de
gree the, destiny of the nation? Inconoclasts
have snatched with impious hands at the laurels
or her grandmother, many times back, alleging
that John Smith was so many different kinds of
a liar, both In lublle and private, that no de
pendence can be placed on any of his stories,
and, least of all, on bis pretty yarn of how the
dusky Indian princess Interposed her own head
to ssve bis from the bludgeon of her royal fath
er's executioner. Soma even go so far as to
prove that Powhattan, himself, was a liar of no
mean ability, and that he had many of the at
tributes that later made bis race the type of
vagabondage that still holds supremacy. But
there's no denying . Pocahontas, and now that
one whose blood holds some kin to that of the
storied princess Is coming Into the highest place
ve can give a woman under our Imperfect
ncheme of things, lot all of us rejoice at Its fit
ness, and recall what Tennyson wrote:
Believe me, Clara Vere de Vere,
From the blue heavens above us bent

Has He EiUblithed Industrial Millennium t
Has the Industrial tuiUenlum, so long hoped
Sot, been established In Colorado by Mr. Rocke
feller's plan for, handling his workmen? John
D., jr., eays he has told his people there must be
no more strikes. This Is very encouraging, so
far as It goes, for It lnferentlally justifies the
conclusion that Mr.. Rockefeller has determined
that strikes are costly, even to the winning side,
while frequently they are disastrous In the ex
treme to the loser. Ills plan for future handling
of the Industrial affairs of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company has been endorsed by all par
ties concerned therein, and goes Into effect at
once. Only the future can determine Us effect
Mr. Rockefeller, In his present optimistic
mood, should tincture bis calculations with some
allowance for human fallibility, and the babit
men have of changing their minds. Ambition
destroyed a considerable proportion of the an
t,rls, once, and It may have some Influence over
the workings of the new model wage agreement
However, any hopes Mr. Rockefeller may have
for Its ultimate success will be shared by all
well wishers of the race, but not many will pro
ceed on the theory that evil la to vanish because
of one man's efforts.
Steel Pricei and the Naval Projram.
Two elements of public Interest are Just now
combining to monopolise a considerable portion
of that casual attention the American citizen
gives to his affairs. One of these Is that the
democratic administration has determined on an
ambitious program for naval construction, to be
provided for by the coming congress. The other
la that the price of steel has advanced at least 20
ier cent, and the big ships will consequently
cut that much more. Iu other words, a dread
naught contracted for last spring at 115,000,000
will now cost f 18, 000.000, and other -things in
pioportlon. This advance is due In part to the
uncommon demand of Europe for American steel.
But the democrats should not be permitted
to hide behind the war demand for steel and thus
t scape the responsibility for the result of their
own shortsightedness. When congress was In
session last spring, and the appropriation bills
were under consideration, the needs for addi
tional warships was as urgent and as apparent
as It Is today, but the democrats cut out the
Items that would have provided for the very
things they are uow demanding. Thla action has
the effect of increasing the expense at the outset
bj ona-fiftband no telling how much more be
fore the ships are ready to take the water.
It is only one Of the continual succession of
b'unders made by the present administration, In
Its efforts to be on both tides of the peace ques
tion at one and the same' time. Preparedness Is
desirable, and to accomplish It Is going to cost
20 per cent more because the president and bis
advisers foozled when they had their chance.
The United States. Japan and Great Britain
areenterlng energetically Into the dye-making
Industry. By the time the Teutons suspend the
present die business the monopoly In dyes here
tofore enjoyed by Oermany will resemble the
fragments of a Big Bertha explosion.
The awakening Is slow but sure. A federal
court jolts the politicians of Oklahoma with the
emphatic ruling that the grandfather law is
useless as a shelter for political crook. That's
the grade of talk which carries a punch to the
atuffers.
UW TTOTOm BOIIWiTla.
,HB death- of Major Church Howe recalla
SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.
the
I atirrlna tlmea In Nebraska politics a quarter of a
Century aao In which he waa alwaya close to the
storm renter. It waa for the moet part before 1 had
any participation In polltl' al mcdiclne-mlxlna:, hut
wlt'Jn the pe.lod of Intereeted oheervatlon. "Church'
wa what we would tall "a ro4 otd acotit." lie waa
a hard flR-hter and continuously at it. and. beat of all,
would accept a victory or a tefrat with the mime food
It race. He had an un-eiaulcnhle feud with "Tom"
Majnra In his own county, which waa too small to
hold two such am. ltloun atateamen at pi ace within Its
limited . boundarlca. It waa an almoet once-a-year
apectacla to have "CTiurch" and "Tom" o through
tha motlona of "burylna the hatchet'' and "amoklng
the pipe of peace," to re followed almoet Instantane
ously with another war dance and mutual recrimina
tions of bad f ilth and treachery.
Let ma Inform thoae to whom thla era of Kebraaka
poll! lea la ancient history, written In an unknown
Ianuae, that "Chunh" and "Tom" alternated for
vrara aa the bellwethers of the legrisiaturea, both poa
Ing aa farmers, "Church" being the chief manipulator
for the Mlanourl I'a-lfic combination, and "Tom" the
handy man for the Riirllnaton. The uncompromising
fight of The I'ee and Its founder against corporate
control and railroad domination waa what led to Its
determined oprl'lon to that sort of political leader
ahlp and cu'mlnated in a holt of "Church's" nomina
tion for continue by a railroad-packed convention In
li, when The lira took up John A. Mcflhane, the
democratic candidate, and gave "Church" a drubbing
he never forgot. Thla contest came off In the old
First district whi h Included hoth Lincoln and Omaha,
Kebraaka being tlicn accorded only three member a of
congreaa. This dletilct, which sent a republican to
Washington for the preceding term, and anotiier
republican for the succeeding term, snowed "Church"
down under an avalanche of an adverse majority of
7.000 voles.
Tet there waa more political history than that In
this fight, ft r on It turned also the re-election or re
tirement of Senator Charles H. Van Wyck. While
refusing to aupport "Church" aa the republican nomi
nee for conarees, my father, Edward Roaewater, was
ardent In Ma support of Van Wyck, and was, himself,
running as a Van Wyck man on the republican ticket
for float atate renator In a district made up of tougtea
and Sarpy counties. It turned out that tha vote-ometer
was eet so strong for Methane that Mr. Roaewater.
despite a substantial n ajorlty In his own county, was
counted out by a small margin down In Sarpy In
favor of the democrat, a Mr. Campbell. My father
was convinced In his own mind that he had been
elected on any fa'r count of the ballots, and waa urged
to contest, but de lined t-ecauae he did not want ta
complicate the altuatlon of Van Wyck. which waa at
best precat Ioim. Van Wyck was beaten finally when
his re-election would without doubt have been aaaured.
had ha had another enthusiastic and resourceful
champion In the state senate, an he would thus have
had, and he waa told more than once that he had
beaten himself by permitting Church How to seise
the congressional nomination with foredoomed defeat
staring him In the face.
I want to say this, however, for Church Howe:
that he got t.ravely over bis disappointment, if he felt
any, and the same man, who atopped him from going
to congress, helped him achieve a much dearer ambi
tion when he aaked for a consular appointment fnMl
President MrKlnley. "Church" had been the member
of the republican national committee for Nebraska,
and In that capacity aaw the opportunity and aelzed U
to maka John M. Thurston temporary chairman of the
ISM national convention. Senator Thuraton was ap
preciative and grateful, and with the combined en
doraement of Senator Thuraton and Edward Rose
water. Major How secured th coveted place, and
spent what h has often told me were the moat de
lUhtful years of his life representing the United
States commercially In Belgium, In England and
Canada.
While mentioning ex-Senator Thurston, did you se
where a leuer-oox coninnuiw in mnor u j, whub
th es-senator for his disparagement of "Billy" Sun
day' evanRellstle acrobatic, harked back to a -famous
murder trial In which th K-senator wa accused of
Indulging In som legal gymnaattca of hi own? Notn
Ing I to be gained by renewing discussion of th guilt
or Innocence of tho defendant on that occasion, which
may b readily Identified, beyond th particular Inci
dent in quetlon, which I happen to remember dl
tlnctly. An Important phase of th defense which Mr.
Thurston had eet up for hi client, turned upon th
xplnnntlon t-at th revolver wt.tch fired the fatal shot
had been kept handy because of th recent .Intrusion
of a buralar who had mad hi getaway through a
certain cellar window. Thla excuse, or Justification,
wa thorotghlv ridiculed hy th attorneys for th
prosecution. They had th dlmenaion of th window
taken and Instated that no full-grown man, auch a
the aliened burglar waa described to be, could poaalbly
squeexe himself through this small aperture, which
waa about th slsa of an ordinary door transom. When
JudR Thurston cam to deal with thla part of th ar.
gument. he aprang th spectacular coup of tha per
formance: He had the window frame and aash re
moved from th house, and brought Into the coutt
room, where he set It up befor the Jury, and himself
crawled through' it on his hands and knee. The trial
took place in th criminal court room of th old court
bouse, (then new), that had but lately been completed
and occupird, and played to starcMng room only for
more than a week. Though the court room could not
accommodate anywhere near aa many people a th
Sunday Tabernacle, th proportion turned away wa
Juat treat. If not greater. Men and women stood In
line for hour to get In, carrying their lunches with
them, refualnff to leave during the noon recess for fear
they might not be able to regain their place, and
