Apple Day in N:braka.
Comes October, month of Indian summer,
not with "nut browne ale," but with red and
rosy apples, all glistening with the gloss ef
summer sun and the touch of autumn frost, an
invitation to everybody to partake of nature's
richest bounty. The apple has been an impor
tant factor in man's affairs ever since Adam
and Eve went "fifty-fifty" on one in the Garden
of Eden. Paris gave one to Helen and started
tn affair that "launched a thousand ships and
burned the topless towers of Illlum." William
Tell split one with his arrow and struck a spark
that freed his people. Poets have sung and
philosophers descanted of the fruit, and men
have eaten it with gusto in all ages. Apple pie
and apple cider, apples baked and apples stewed
apples in any form are welcome aids to good
living. Northern Spy, Spitsbergen, Jonathan,
German, Bellflenr, Romanlte,. Grimes' Golden,
even the humble Ben Davis, the Russet and the
Sheep's Nose, are names to charm with, each
with its following, and all foundations of gusta
tory delight, and good health, too. If we may
take the doctor's word at par.
Nebraska Is celebrating apple day today, and
properly, for this is one of the real apple-growing
states of the union. The crop Is not gener
ally given its proper Importance, because we are
too busy talking of the others that bulk even
bigger, and people think of other regions where
apples form the principal yield and where more
noise is made about the crop. But Nebraska
has an apple crop this year of nearly 3,000,000
bushels of the finest fruit that will go on the
market, and that Is more than any of the famed
regions of the west will send out. It is time we
waked up to the fact that the orchards of the
slate are a valuable asset and give to this source
of wealth a little more vigorous advertisement.
Today is a good time to remind yourself that
every day Is apple day In Nebraska.

The No-Treat Law's Fifteen Per.
The solemnity of the moment is seriously
threatened by the latest advices from the. seat
of state government to the effect that Mr. At
torney General Is cogitating whether it Is not his
sworn official duty to set the machinery In mo
tion for the enforcement of Nebraska's famous
no-treat law. "All persons are prohibited,"
reads that ominous statute, "from treating or'
giving away any liquor, beer, wine or intoxi
cating beverage whatever, purchased and to be
drank in any saloon or other public place where
such liquors are kept for sale," under risk of
conviction for misdemeanor. But the law car-
lies this further Incentive to its enforcement
lhat the guilty person, in addition to the pen
alty, "shall pay into said court the sum of fif
teen dollars, to be paid to the attorney prose
cuting the case, If there be one." We maintain
that the possibilities of this no-treat law of ours
hove been carelessly overlooked by our previous
attorneys general, as well ss by attorneys gen
erally, for a mint of money awaits the prose
cuting lawyer who goes at It In earnest and
collects the fifteen per.
Three Million More Men.
Fifteen months in the field, with expendi
ture of millions of men and billions of treasure,
have simply served to outline In a vague way
the magnitude of the war In Europe. It Is too
great to be more than hazily comprehended by
the ordinary mortal, whose mind falls to grasp
the significance of the tremendous totals dally
dealt In when reporting on the operations of the
armies. One present development will help
some towards a better understanding of what It
all means. England Is called upon to furnish
three millions more of fighting men. This
means more than twice the total population of
Nebraska, and not In men, women and children,
but in young, vigorous, sound manhood of the
empire, its best possession.
The excuse given tor the demand Is that the
spectacle will discourage the Germans, who are
estimated as having some ten millions of fight
ing men yet in reserve, and who may be de
terred from throwing them into the mill of de-.
structlon. Tho war does not turn on this factor
at present. The Germans are as energetic and
as resourceful as ever, and show little disposi
tion to abandon their purpose. Press agent
stories from the front must be taken with con
siderable allowance. We are getting Just such
information as tho belligerents want us to have,
and none other. They are engaged In a serious
undertaking, and neither side is taking the other
into its confidence at this time. All the neutral
world really knows is that men are being wasted
along with wealth, and the proceedings at pres
ent are such as to support the thought that only
the exhaustion of the combatants can end the
struggle.
Thirty million men are under arms In Eu
rope, and other millions may yet be drawn Into
the fighting; the end is beyond conjecture, but
the whole should make Americans more than
ever thankful for the peace they enjoy.
Registration of voters In the five boroughs
of New York City for the November election
totals C67.366 names. .The figures exceed the
off year totals of 1911 and 1913, and are 42,000
less than the registration for the presidential
year of 1912. Two questions of state-wide Im
portance come up for settlement at the ballot
box woman suffrage and the new constitution.
The absence of the uaual crowd of campaign
stumpers serves to emphasise the keener Interest
manifested in the registration.
Eastern advocates of preparedness frown
upon the suggestion of establishing tn the west

tmy. with necessary enlargements, is best suited
to the needs of the larger army. Quite so. Yet
In almost the same breath the easterners assert
with real seriousness that preparedness hears
ro resemblance to pork.
Canada Is pouring out its young llfeblood

Over 100,000 of her sons have been enrolled,
83,000 sent to the various battle llnee and

Snows" Is a warm member in any cause which

Friends of Senator J. Ham Lewis of Illinois

over-enthuolastlo about the durability of the fine old

but no rue;, either modern, domeattc or antique, can
be more durable than, or outlive, the material put into

are produced. Other materials which ara made Into
good and durable rugs that sell at a moderate prlci
are cotton, hemp and grass.
If one has the means to afford Oriental ruga, It la
beat to seek an honest expert before purchasing. For
merly, these ruga were the labor of love, and created
aa heirlooms for the family making them; but modern
Orientals ara factory-made; Juat aa our domestic ruga
are, and a process of waahlng la resorted to In order
to tone the crude Kuropean dyes now in general uae.

The doeer and heavier the weave with which a
rug la made, the better the wearing qualities. Unlike
orientals, w do not tread upon our ruga only with
bare feet, and a fabrics that is given such hard usage
needs all that la possible to add to lta durability. For
satisfactory general aervlca. nothing surpaaees tha
many attractive modern ruga of domestic and Euro
pean make. They are within the reach of moderate
means, and give tha greatest return for the money
expended.
Among the moat durable and beautiful ruga for
the American home are the Raxony domestic repro
ductions of Orientals, made in various slxea and color-
In (re, adapted for use In all rooms; as are alio Wlltona,
Brussels, Axmtnstera and a few other occidental pro
ducts. When Amerlran reproductions first appeared on
the market, they were somewhat crude In color, but
now all the mellow softness, with tha perfection of
tonal quality of tha real antique rugs, la successfully
reproduced. The pile of the Paxony Is of an excellent
quality of wool that gives good service, and these rugs
are woven with a strong, soft, pliable warp backing
that gives them something of the character of a hand
woven rug, and makes them most desirable floor cov.
erlhga. A Saxony nine by twelve feet, with all tho
beauty of design and color of a true Oriental, may
be had for from $50 to 190. The design which charac
terises the Sarabends quickly appeals to one of re
fined tastes, the quiet ground, covered with tha palm-
leaf pattern, being enriched with a very effective
border. Much appreciated by those preferring warmth
and vivacity of color are copies of the Turkish Yaprak.

eleven feet three Inches by fifteen feet; also runners
for hall or stairway, if desired. In the same weave
are the refined two-toned effecta In almost anv desired

a lighter shade upon a darker background, oi possibly

of black to give the proper accent to the whole. The
Daghestan patterna also make an excellent choice for
tha average room. Those with tan ground, the bor

OMAHA, Oct 14. To the Editor of
The Bee: It Is easy to yap one's head of f
against the carnival or street fair fea
ture of the Ak-8ar-Ben festivities. It Is
a different matter to coma forward with
a definite program.
"Give us suggestions," say the gov
ernors. All right. Here Is a definite line of en
tertainment that could be added to by
anyone who will use his head:
Have your carnival grounds as before,
fenced, with galea where the dime ad
mlsalon may be collected. '
Inside have your rows of show tents,
Juat as the Worthama or the World At
Home people have, but don't have the
ffke xrab-a-dtme spielers and their co
horts Inside of them. Instead have aa
much aa possible of home talent that
la-Omaha, Nebraska, and neighboring
state talent to entertain.
"What have we that people would care
to hear or see?" says some wise guy.
Say, If we haven't anything better
than the dancing Turks, (born in Chi
cago), or the diving girls, who can't
swim better than the meanest nut-brown
kid at Carter lake; If wo have nothing
more entertaining in Nebraska than tha
princess who Uvea under water, or
rather, stands In a box behind a glass
tank of water and looks through the
tank at the suckers; if we have nothing
more entertaining In Omaha and In the
state than these thlnngs. It la time for
the grasshoppers to return and devour us.
Wa have Stecher.
All right Why not Stecher for the
carnival? Oolch, too, and Fanner
Bums, all In one tent Can't get them?
All right Oet any one or any two of
them with their trainers. Let them put
on a fifteen-minute show during tha day
as often as the tent will be filled, and
that will be right often. Let each show
the hold that made him famous In the
mat game. Would you pay two bits to
see them? Ask me.
Again put on a battle royal In another'
tent You can hire ten colored men for
g2.S0 apiece a day. Use them In two
shifts, of five men each. Put heavy
boxing gloves on them, say eight ounces,
so the Ministerial union wouldn't call a
special meeting. Turn the five loose In
a roped arena and let them fight or box
It out. Would that get the dimes or
the quarters? What has been the history
of the battle royal? Wherever It has
been staged and has not been known as
a fake .It has drawn all any house could
hold. Remember, make the gloves heavy
enough to duck the wrath of the Minis
terial union.
There are the Teddy Brothers, too.
Slam them into a tent with a good
wrestling mat. Have they not charmed
multitudes In the past? Would people
pay a dime to see them work? I have
seen them stage their celebrated "rube
wrestling match" fully twelve times, and
today I would pay my two blta and take
a half dosen of my friends to see them
besides.
Have we any dancing talent?
Oh, no; we have the paint-smeared
dregs of womanhood from the slums of
the east to come here and wiggle their
silly bodies to the squeaking of a Tur
kish bagpipe before we think we have
entertainment.
Have we not dancing schools tn Omaha?
Let Prof. Chambers put a doxen of his
best pupils in a hall with real gowns
and with real steps. Let these people ex
hibit the latest dances In the moat ap
proved way, and let the public pay their
dime to see these exhibitions. Sure there
are a few so-called men who want to
see only the Turkish girls wtih their
dirty rags, but there are more men and
women who would spend their dimes for
real, classy, modern dancing.
Let Walter Adams, the "Galatea" of the
Den show, stage his celebrated dances in
costume in another tent. The "French,"
"Turkish" and "Egyptian" dancers that
have disgraced the, carnival grounds for
years, have absolutely no place beside
ono whose work has the real clasa that
the dancing of young Adams evinces.
Omaha manufactured products and No.
breaks-manufactured products -could
profitably be ahown In another tent,
either free to the public or for a nominal
admission fee. The matter of price could
be worked out later.
Then a barbecue for one day. There
are plenty of vacant lots where a barbe
cue could be put on. The Union Stock
Yards company furnished oxen to ba
rousted for the Tractor show at Fremont
Why not at home. Anyway, oxen could
be purchased for. the occasion, Juat for
a one-day stunt.
Another exhibit could show relics of
the European war. There are plenty of
these In Omaha. More and more these
relics have been coming acroaa the water.
A public call for them to be labeled,
classified, catalogued and exhibited at a
carnival would bring thousands of choice
plecea out of their present hiding.
Free attractions?
Well, here Is a suggestion: There is
nothing in the European war as spectacu
lar as an aerial battle. The day hai
come when we don't need to pay 11,000 a
day for an aviator to make two little
flights as we did a year ago. After
Beachey had left Omaha with hie I3.O00
of perfectly good money in his pocket for
three days' work, an unknown aviator,
Just to be a good fellow, made fllghta
dally over Omaha for K0 a day, and on
one occasion looked the loop sixteen times
In succession, thus doubling, trebling and
quadrupling anything Beachey had ever
done for us when he got el.OOO a day,
All right aviators of that type may
be had here. About three of them should
be obtained with about three or four ma
chines. . They ahould etege an aerial bat
tle dally. One ahould drop mock bombs
on the city, while the other ahould rise
from the ground and charge him tn mid
air, attacking him with mock machine
guns and bombs. This diving, charging,
counter-charging, plunging and churning
tn the central blue with guns popping In
the senith, would be a spectacle that
would draw aa the electrical parade
draws.
For other free attractions, let moving
pictures show the activities of agrlcul
ture and manufacture In Nebraska. Dr.
Oeorge E. Condra of the University of
Nebraska, and E. V. Parriah, manager of
tha bureau of publicity of the Commer
cial club, could furnish these. Anyone
who has seen them will testify that they
are worth a good admission tee, although
they are always shown free of charge.
One tent oould be given over to athleUe
events, where a team of a dosen men
from the Young Men's Christian associa
tion gymnasium and a doses from tha
Bohemian Turners oould give exhibitions
of the work that Is given by those splen
did institutions. The best men in these
institutions are dally performing feats
we are paying two Wta to see at the
theaiter.
Turning lathes of the University ef Ne
braska College ef EkMrtnaexlng could be
Installed In a tent where engineering: etu
S is eosU4 eeuMsueUate the work they
are doing at that Institution. In the
aame tent perhaps could be shown the
manual training work and the clay mod
el Ing- work done by some of the best
schools in the state today. Pupils could
be brought here to do the demonstration
work. Many of the best schools In the
state would be glad to pay the expenses
of putting on auch an exhibition for the
publicity It gets them.
Garden club exhibits of the garden club
work of Omaha could be ahown.
Now if there must be something thst
smacks of gambling, let It be managed
by persons appointed by the board of
governors, and not by a lot of bruisers
and thugs from the Bowery alums. If
men must spin a wheel on the chance of
winning a ham or a piece of bacon, lot
the game be on the square. Let It be
run so that when a woman. Just for fun,
puts down a nickel and wins, tlis pro
prietor will give her the ham instead of
pocketing the nickel and calling her a
liar when she asks for her rights as
was the case at the carnival here.
If persona on the carnival grounds must
have their photographs taken on post
cards, let some local photographer ina'al!
an outfit and give people the pictures
when they pay In advance. Instead of
declaring the plate was spoiled, refusing
to gVve back the money, and threatening
to punch the head of the fellow that
asks for his money back.
Let the local people and the board of
governors stage their own carnival for
one year. In other worda. Instead of let-
t'n" the fllm-flammera nf tha nut inn
rock here and cheat, and bully Om.tha'a
guests for ten daya, and leave them With
the feeling that It was Omaha that put
one over on them. A. E U

a contribution by one Max Desettel under

Stands," referring to the liquor question.

Bee: I wish to take thla method of
assuring tha members of the Degree of
Honor who continue to call me with re
gard to tha Degree of Honor going to the
"Billy" Sunday tabe trade as a united
body 1 the name of the order and thus
place the Degree of Honor on record as
upholding this particular sect revival
campaign or whatever you may wish to
call It that Washington lodge. No. XI.
which Is the largest Degree of Honor
lodge in the United States or Canada,
has authorised no one to speak for it on
the matter of reservations for tha Degree
of Honor at the 'Tab."
One self-appointed evangellstlcalty in
clined individual took the unheard of
liberty of speaking for this great fraternal
order. No. 17 Is In no way connected with
this move as far aa I, aa recorder, know.
The Degree of Honor Is a splendid fra
tenal order, composed of Jew and Gentile,
Protestant and Catholic and persons of
no religious convictions other than to
believe In a Supreme Being and Ruler of
the Universe. The Degree of Honor re
spects the religious convictions of each
and every member and will never swerve
from the great principles of Justice, truth
and mercy to all. so strongly Implanted
In the hearts of all true members of the
Degree of Honor, even for the great
"Wily" Sunday enterprise.

car,
And I I knew what love was at the
sight of him!
Our ride together waa, alas! too short
by far.
Time la relentless but we loved In pits

I did not hesitate to be the one to woo.
Though I'm not prone to place affec

But Just one side-glance from his eyes of
matchless blue.
And I surrendered which amused him
mightily.
He glanced with favor, then, upon a rose
I wore;
I offered it and he accepted charm
Ingly,
And when he went he stopped a mo

One backward look my heart beat most

Had I a clew that would reveal hie

A course ' I could pursue, and be exempt
from blame.
Since he, you see, was only
