While the results of the recent elections Ttre made known tan days ago, the detailed compilation and comparisons now available are of more than ordinary interest. The current number of The Literary Digest gives the vote on suffrage in round figures for the four states xhlch submitted amendments this year along with the votes by which suffrage was rejected In other states that refused to adopt such amendments in the past This table Is as follows: SUFPTIAOH RESULTS IN THIS TBARS ELECTIONS.

Purely speculative stocks will always have an attraction for the gambler, and the big profits of the war babies will doubtless 'sustain a de mand for them from a certain class, but it is encouraging that the great mass of the Invest ing public has turned Its attention to securities which rest on a permanent foundation. If the United States is to derive any lasting benefit In an industrial way from the European war its resources must be devoted to those enterprises which are adapted to times of peace and to per manent development and the trend of. invest ment back to these lines Is a good symptom. There Is an ample field here' toy, all the capital of the country, and If it finds Its way Into that field the nation will be prepared for the read justment that must come Immediately with the conclusion of the European war. . Tilting1 Lid on School Bonds. The attorney general of the state has given an opinion In which he holds that the people have been mistaken in their Idea that the law fixed a limit upon the Issuance of bonds by school districts In cities of more than 1,600 pop ulation. It had been supposed the limit on tctal indebtedness to II per cent of the assessed valuation of the district applied to all districts alike. Such restrictions, like all ironclad rules or laws, sometimes work harm, but in the larger sonse they are a beneficial check upon extrava gant and reckless financing. Taxpayers still have some legal safeguards, however, one of which that bond Issues must have the prior In dorsement of the voters, and even If this were swept away the natural laws of business come lo the rescue, for school districts, like individ uals, cannot borrow money beyond what buyers consider their ability to pay and the law pro hibits the sale of bonds below par. With these restrictions still In force, It is not likely many schools districts, at least, will be burdened with tond issues much above the former supposed limit . Virility of the Foreifn Born. The report of the registrar of vital statistics in New York presents some figures that will compel students. of social economy to revise their estlmatea and opinions. It has long been a recognised fact that the birth rate In foreign born families In this country is higher than In families of native-born, and particularly In those whose residence here covers several generations, but the popular Impression is contradicted by tne fact that the death rate among the children of foreign-born parents is lower. The statistics gathered In New Tork show that the death rate in children under B years of age la foreign-born families was seventy-one per thousand, while In native families it was seventy-nine, "the lowest being la Russian Jewish families. - These fig ures are all the more startling when we consider that the congested portions of the lty, where health conditions are of the worst, contain a larger portion of foreign-born than natives. If these people can present such -a record under adverse conditions, what would be the result if they could have the average environment of the native born? Kuch disclosures Invite specula tion whether the so-called better living condi tion In this country have been as conducive to Ihyslcal development as they undoubtedly have been to social betterment, and also what will be te final type evolved from the melting pot of rations. As to Presidential Timber. Former Senator Burton made a fine impres sion while in Omaha upon democrats and repub licans alike who met and heard him. Even the local democratic organ concedes that he has la him the making of a great president and be Is but one of a number of amply qualified men from among whom the next republloan national convention will choose. Let no one repeat the silly twaddle about the republican party suffer ing a dearth of full-eUed presidential timber.' In contrast with this, the democrats, be It noted, have no one to compete with President Wilson, and If be should take himself out of the running their dilemma would envelop the democrats In confusion worse confounded Fake War Movies 1 Literary DIfeet. WAJl-PICTURBa are even more popular In Great Britain than here In America, and the English people are now reported to be reveling In TlvH war dramas which ar raked on the hillside and the rolling downs of the south coast. A contributor lo Popular Science Monthly tell us that clever mechani cal devices, the unstinted us of electricity, spring bayonet, gunpowder-bladders, and underground ex plosive are used In the production of these war pictures, which ar so realistic that they seem to bear the earmarks of the French and Belgian trench and the Polish battlefield. We read there as follows; "Agricultural laborer, farmer' sons, nd village youth, dressed In the uniform of the British and Oerman armiea, are drilled in their new duties and Initiated Into the mysteriaa of disappearing bayonets, exploding fake shells, trench warfare, and make-be-Ileve 'gassing.' 8troll along a quiet, country foot path bordering soma rolling grassland sloping to tho sea and you may com upon a horde of yelling men who spiked helmet and wicked looking bayonets glint In the sunshine aa they c'targe toward you. If you take cover nimbly and watch, you will see they are rushing a trench filled with khakV-clad Brltlsn soldiers, Tou shudder Involuntarily aa you ae those glinting bayonet sinking Into human flesh three or four tnchea, but you find later that the point are protected with little felt button and that they ar attached to th barrel end of the rifle by a spring that allow them to retract several Inches upon strik ing a solid substance. "As the soldier ford a stream tn their mad charge, columns of water splash high Into th air. After awhile you realise that these column ar caused by dropping shell from concealed artillery. Tou wonder how it Is that an these country 'supers' are not maimed or even killed until you find out that the water column are caused by eleotiioally axplodod bladders filled with gunpowder and hidden beneath the surface of the stream. As th charging Oe man' reach th opposite bank and make straight for th 'British' machine runa, terrible explosions occur. They ar th shells still "dropping from th British artillery. Th explosion ar electrically controlled by a stage director or producer, and are caused by burying small carta of gunpowder her and there under th ground to be rushed. At th proper moment th fake mines are exploded by throwing a switch m pressing a button, thus sending clods of earth, a cloud of smoke, and a dummy figure or two Into th air. All th vivid effects of a big shell bunting on th ground ar thus obtained. "To give to th moving-picture patron' an Idea of the vast number of troop now In Franoa, th produc er used aa Ingenious leather band machine, which, la conjunction with a broad window built Into th scenery wall, la all that Is necessary. Th spectators In th theater ae women at th window waving out to th departing troop. Th top of rifle with bayonet fixed move past th window andr bob up and down In a never-ending stream. Beneath th window, concealed from th spectator, an operator turns a leather band .passing over two fly-wheel about twelve feet apart Attached to th top of the band ar rows of bayonet. As th handle la turned th bayonets move along with th realism of a marching regiment rifle on shoulders, fastened, as they are, to th leather band, which can be moved at any speed. "In 'close-up picture of big explosives, such as bridges, forts, an th like. It Is not polite for th movie men to get too close; a chance projectile may come their way. To overcome this difficulty th camera la eet up In some adjacent spot and focused upon th seen of th explosion. From a safe dis tance the operator controls his camera by electrical wires, the result being as satisfactory as If he bad been on th brink of th eoane himself. 8o excellent ar th picture of modern warfar' thus obtained by producers In rural Britain that th motlon-plcture-tbeater patrons cannot realise that motion picture man are not allowed near th firing line In th thea ters of war and that th restrictions imposed en th producers prevent them from obtaining th real thing tn France."

"It 1 not unoommon with lawyer when address ing a Jury to single out one member who appears to thsm to be th most Intelligent and. therefor, th on most likely to be Influenced by their, appeal,' said a well known jurist recently . "But It does not always work out advantageously," h continued. "AU th testimony In a case recently tried In Texas had been taken, th Lawyer for both sides summed up, and th judge had charged th Jury, when suddenly loomed up th aforesaid Intelligent juror against whom both counsel had thundered their impassioned appeals.

I want to tell all those Interested how to rid themselves of this pest for 20 cents. Buy a common steel rat trap and fasten th chain te a block of wood. Th gopher leaves a round mark Just over the hole, so dig until you find th opening and mak room for th trap to spring. Cover trap lightly with fine dirt; be sure to leave room under plate to spring the trap.

AUGUST BEERMANN. 1709 Douglas street Why the Wrestler Go F.Uewhere. OMAHA, Nov. IX To th Editor of Th Bee: Commissioner Dan Butler should be proud of himself . for having driven th Stecher-FIuasan wrestling match to Lincoln by hi manipulation of the Audi torium. On would think that a munici pally owned Auditorium would be used to help bring people te Omaha Instead of as a club to drive them away. Lincoln gets this match because of the announce ment that the rate for wrestling matohes would be $300, with a privilege of 10 per cent of th receipts, Tht was after ward reduced to 90 per cent and now I understand th commissioner wilt mak a straight rental proposition. But It te too late to give Omaha a big day of sport for Thanksgiving. When Stecher wrestled her July 4 Omaha bad th biggest crowd of state visitors of any day tt ever bad outside of Ak-fiar-Ben. This match would hav drawn more, but the business man of Lincoln were quick to see the value of th attraction, and they secured a much larger building there and gave It rent free. It O. A DAM 3. Capital aag Labor. OAKLAND. Ia.. Nov. IX To the Editor of Hie Bee: Perhaps there is no ques tion confronting us of more vital Im portance than that of capital and labor. Capital la today found in the hands of comparatively few men. Labor Is the capital, or stock in trade, of multiplied millions. The foundation of the social and business world rests largely In th hands of tht latter class. The capital ist furnishes the money while the la borer performs the task that produces reyilts. . Then human hearts are needed In the business world, with that of the employer beating In sympathy with the employe. No nation can rise above It home, and th employer should know what kind of a home the employe Is able to build on the wage paid him, using a reasonable degree of economy. There are also features of rest and proper recreation during the working hour to consider, which creates a mutual satisfaction that can com from, no other source. Th aesthetio aid of life tn home building we find in our parks, country lanes and flowers by the wayside. In th humble opinion of th writer, when our men of wealth begin to think and spend their money along the above mentioned line there will be lea need of "preparedness." , Capital and labor going hand In band will mak th great United States a great example of a Christian nation, that will et the civilised world to thinking In the rltht channels, T.
