' The next thing to be ascertained la, Will that municipal court law stick T . Who waa It, now, who was so sure that the tig war wonld be over in October? The easiest part of preparedness lies in the atlmates; where the money will come from ia the Joker. It is quite evident that the administration's new policy of "watchful waiting" ia of few days Joyously numbered. x The new note to Qreat Britain serves to re-n-.ind John Bull that Uncle Barn's typewriter Is In good working order. Joy reigns la Vera Crui. The promise of recognition la aa enlivening to Carrantav and his followers as a hot tamale to a famished peon. No formal alliance between American rail roads and Culebra slides has been announced, but Culebra is doing business as though the deal was signed up and the split agreed upon. War office bulletins and censors do not in crease respect for their outgivings when they decry the courage and soldierly qualities of each other. Such petty stuff maw be digestible at iome, but nowhere else. Conscription will not down in Great Britain. The far-swung battle line of the empire steadily calls for greater sacrifices of life than volunteer ing provides. In. such emergencies safety first shatters political platforms. As an official postscript to a tragedy the ex perts report that the subway collapse in New .York was due to Improper support for the streets. How consoling to friends of the vic tims to have their suspicions verified. "Billy's" free-will offering in Omaha is due to be somewhere near 120,000. It was a trifle less than $14,000 ia Dei Moines, and almost f2B,000 in Peterson, and Omaha properly be longs at about the halt-way mark between these two. Caruso Is not obliged to go to war. The Italian government waived Its claim to bis serv ices at the front But he will serve his county by coming to the United States and scooping In enough money to pay the expense of a regiment of substitutes. . ; Twenty days before the vote Is cast the suf fragists announce that they will carry New Jer sey by 25,000 majority.' The significance of the announcement lies In giving male political prophets due notice that they are not the only experts In the game. Mutual Money and the Loan. Suit brought by a policyholder to restrain the Mutual Life Insurance company directors from investing any portion of the company's funds in the Anglo-French bonds raises an in teresting point The allegation that the pur chase of those bonds would create dissension with the ranks of the policyholders is not seri ous enough in Itself to warrant any especial attention. No sentiment attaches to the loan, ahlch is purely a business matter. The mala question Involved is. What rights has the policy l'older under his contract with the company? The board of directors of a mutual insurance company, as of all similar organisations, is au thorited to carry on its business, and is expected to do so in such manner aa will bring the larg est possible net returns, la order that dividends to the policyholders may be kept at the maxl- nam. This course must be pursued with due regard to such prudential care aa will safeguard tie Interests of all. Policyholders are certainly Justified In intervening at any time they feel their material interests in the company's at I Irs is being jeopardised. In this case the ques tion will be whether the bonds at Issue are such Ss tuay be proper for the investment of the Joint f ipdi of all the policyholders and will hardly tarn on the point as to the attitude of any with Relation to the war. ' The case will be of great public interest, for t should serve o further define the limitations : cf the greatest cf sll modern business undertake ' J-s. that cf Ufa Insurance, Fretting the Pipe Line Plan. Governor Morohad has pet the Omaha Wyomlng pipe line plan Just a little noarer to realization by appointing a commission, charged to make careful Investigation and report on the feasibility of the project. It Is one) of the most attractive ever presented, eo far as external in dications go. The oil Is In Wyoming, where new gushers are belD(j opened from time to time; the market is in Omaha, where the oil is bt-lng used for fuel and other similar purposes. The advantage of Omaha as a distributing point has been established for a long time, and the prowth of the great region for which Omaha Is the metropolis makes certain a continually ex panding market for the oil. Natural conditions are all in favor of the pipe line, the river grade being only one of its points of commendation. None of the great difficulties encountered by other extensive pipe lines appear to make this project a costly one, and the estimated cost is not unreasonable, when the service Is considered. It will be one more strong inducement for the location of additional industrial plants, and in thla way means much for the growth of the city. The commission should not delay Its work, for it vlll find the public eagerly waiting for Us report. It a Literary Revival Possible f The tremendous amount of money tied up in ' hooks and libraries, which is only working part tjme, and yielding Inadequate returns because the people for whose benefit they are intended do not use them, is the subject of pertinent com ment in the current Saturday Evening Post. At tention is called to the fact that while every newspaper is filled with enticing bids for the reader's spsre time and spare change, for the theaters, base ball, athletic sports, music and mnsto machine instruments, the movies, the autos, the railroads, and the hotels all em pbasltlng their offerings of enjoyment and rec reation, scant space is devoted to books, and then chiefly to new volumes of temporary inter est. Aa a consequence the vast accumulations of standard literature are almost ignored, and this permanent literature is characterized as "the most dependable and enjoyable recreation known to man." We have more than once noted the distress ing decadence of hook reading, and death of book-lovers, due plainly to a multiplicity of con tributing causes. A chief one of these causes la unquestionably what The Post 'points out as a lack of machinery for getting people into that part of the libraries containing standard litera ture, in other words, for the lack of the pub licity carrying the necessary appeal to people with spare time that they do not know how to use best. Occasionally we are Inclined to believe that this is an inherent drawback of free public libraries that people do not value things they receive for nothing as they value things they have to work for and pay for, and alao-that the publicity side of publlo institutions is seldom developed as it would be if privately conducted. But the fact stares ns in the face that the de lights of delving into the literary products of the great minds of the past are today known by all too few, and that conditions do not promise a literary revival unless some new and radical method of popularising literature Is devised and n.ade effective. Some Facts Established. Experience Is teaching Warden Osborne of the Sing Sing prison some facts concerning human nature, and one of them is that a man can be a scalawag Inside as well as outside prison walls. Ills latest lesson is in connection vlth his plan for paying prisoners for their services in token money, the object being to Inculcate some notion of the usefulness of hon est toll as compared with the futility of inept rascality. Prisoners Improved on the warden's plan and established a savings bank, the better to educate the mon in the beauties of thrift. The plan worked smoothly enough, and the token n.oney poured into the "savings bank" steadily as the prisoners "earned" it Then came an order which necessitated that each man with draw some of his savings, and another develop ment that showed how very realistic the whole performance. Application at the "bank" for the money resulted In closing its door, and the discovery that its funds bad been dissipated by Its managers. Now, the moral tb this Isn't that men must give over being thrifty or industrious', or that all reformatory effort must be a ban cloned. The lesson is that wickedness does not fUl away from a man, like a discarded garment, Just because someone says a few kind words to him. Also, that even In prison, It pays to be careful in business dealings. Ute of the Human Voice. Dr. Clapp gave Omaha teachers one valuable suggestion, and that la to pay more attention to the proper use of the voice in conversation. One cf the distinguishing marks of the truly cultured individual is the tone used in speaking. Amer icans, as a rule, have been careless of this essen tial requirement, and have not habitually given the deserved attention to the cultivation of the vocal orgaus. In times past, and to a consld erable extent nowadays, geographic divisions yere determined by linguistlo peculiarities, al though the Yankee twang, the southern drawl, the westera broad accent, etc., are disappearing from our national conversation. The main rea son Is still to be mastered, though, and that is to speak always with care-and precision, to give each word its full value and to use a tone that is pleasing to the ear. It is Just as effective, and quite as easy, to use a soft and musical tone in talking as .in singing, and only requires a little watchfulness. Harsh, strident voices are not necessarily natural, and may be easily remedied by slight effort In the schools, where the pupils model their manner of. expression largely on that of the teacher, the work of reform should be commenced. With proper attention. the next generation of Americana should be of pleasing voice, in the cadence and rhythm of whose conversation will reside the true beauty of music, and this with no sacrifice of those sturdy qualitlea that make the race strong and self-reliant Under the caption, "President Wilson Will Ved." Mr. Bryan's Commoner prints she Asso ciated Press account of the announcement of the engagement and its description of the bride-to- be, Dut nowhere In the issue is any note of congratulation or word, t approval. What about Itt Uf YTCTom aoinrin. WHES ModJoKka's autoNoirraptiy waa publlahed.

While I had neara the atory more than once, I only recently oama aeroee what mUht ba called "the document In the case. won't mention tha reporter"! name ha waa a, oni- llant fellow and his brilliancy ahone forth In hie work, marred only by lapaea on oocaalone or over- one conviviality.

And this ia tha way tha Item stared out of tha next morning's Uroe of the pa pen "Madame Mod)eka gave a tiresome porfoi'manoa in Boyd's opera houao laet evening. Adrlenne Ie oouvreur may ba good In Itself, but Madame Mod Jeska doea not know how to act It Altogether, the play la sickening.

No one, after seeing ModJeaka'ew'Adrianna.' cares to aea her again, and not many will see her tonight. It may ba that we don't appreciate 'Adrlenne but after reading h history of tha great courtesan, no on wants any more of any sami-Poltah broken tongue upon that beautiful subject. No ona In Omaha wants to ae 'Adrlenne' again, for goodness -aake!" I need only aay that tha wonderful criticism of "Adrlenne" waa a one-ttm print.

Count Jloaenta, accepted with good grace, and th "accident" did not In any way mar tha continued pleasant rela tions between them and tha responsible editor ef th paper. Speaking of o1d-4im Be reporters; I heard from Fred Benalnger tha other day wtth a cutting of a etory contributed by him to th New Tork Times, going back to tha period when Charles O. Dawes, the big Chicago banker, waa a struggling lawyer In fan coin, fighting shoulder to ehouldar with Th Be against th corporation politicians and the railroad gang. Bentlnger tella about Dawea, aa comptroller of the currency during the McKlnley administration, gratefully taking car of his old Nebraska friends with the places and patronage at hla command, citing particularly what ha did for former Attorney General William Leeea, as follows: "For example, there wu th case of William Ieese, who, aa attorne general for the Stat of Nebraska, held out a helping hand to the young lawyer from Ohio. Leese waa elected on th repub lican ticket He belonged to the anti-corporation ' wing of the party built up Edward Boaewater. tha remarkable man who built up Tha Omaha Be from nothing and made and unmade polttlolana Ijees waa so honest In hla opposition to th grasping policy of tha railroads that It landed him in tha populist party, and on retiring from office he sought a new field of activity In th south. "When a national bank failed at Birmingham, Ala., Dawea proposed to appoint Lee aa receiver. The republics na of Nebraska, who thought they had a aort of mortgage on Dawes, arose In arms against aueh a violation of th aaored traditions of th political gam, but Dawea stood by hla guns and his friend. ' - "Among the other friends of Dawea In his Lin coln days waa Charles A. Hanna. now examiner of th banks In th Nw Tork Clearing House associa tion. Hanna was aecretary to John R. Clark, presi dent of th First National bank of Lincoln. DaWa made him national bank examiner for the New Tork district, and hla work In that office won him his present place, with a large aaiary. A Hat of old Nebraska frtenda provided by Dawea with govern ment Jobs w ould look like a condensed city directory of Lincoln." Th point Benalnger la trying to drive In 1. th. Dawea' actions In these matter demonstrated that he cannot be bulldoaed, and support th assertion that naving aovisen hla Dank to buy a part of the Anglo French loan, all th objection and threats showered upon him will not produc enough "scare" to make him back up.
