A recent report of the federal department of
rtads placed Nebraska among the lowest of the
Kates in the number of miles of permanent sur
faced roads, but this condition promises to be
changed If plans matured in various sections of
tbe state are carried to fruition, seedling miles
having been completed In several places, to
which additions are to be made as funds are
available. One thing which outsiders do not
appreciate, however, in reaching conclusions
concerning tbe roads of the state, is the nstural
soil drainage In most sections of Nebrsska,
which renders permsnent surfacing less Imper
ative than In most places. More significant by
far of the prospective improvement of roads in
general Is the way the smaller cities, villages
and rural communities are taking up the matter
cf scientific construction of dirt rosds.
Outside of the funds created by taxation for
road purposes hundreds of towns and rural com
munities are raising money by subscription for
road work, sandy stretches are being graded and
clayed, muddy and waterlogged portions also
Ktaded and drained, hills cut down and a general
awakening manifest to the commercial value
of better roads. It Is nothing uncommon to find
small towns subscribing from $1,000 to $3,000
for aiding country communities to improve the
loads leading to the towns and what Is more sig
nificant still as bearing on the results this work
when undertaken by private funds Is not done
by the typical township road overseer and his
wasteful methods and unsatisfactory results, but
ly skilled road builders who make that their
business and provide themselves with the facil
ities for doing the work. Moreover, many coun
ties In Nebraska will In ten years, at the present
late of progress, have every trunk line road
scientifically constructed. The automobile, espe
cially since the farmers have become extensive
users of the machine, has been the most potent
factor in bringing the people who most needed
good rosds to a realisation of their value and no
longer is the position of road overseer looked
upon as a Joke or a sinecure for some man who
simply needed the money or was greedy enough
to grab for it. The major portion of Nebraska
is still too sparsely settled and the traffic vol
ume too light to expect an extensive program of
l ullding permanent surface roads Immediately,
but with the character of the soil as it Is In most
eectlons, It is possible to have a system of dirt
reads that will be the pride and Joy of those
vho travel them.
How Many War Victimi ?
The estimate of 6,000.000 men killed In the
war put out by Colonel Heussler, the Swiss
military statistician, exceeds every calculation
of war losses hitherto published. General
Creene, In a talk at Went Point in September,
placed the year's dead at 2,000,000. Up to
October 11 the Rotterdam Courant computed
the total casualties of Germany, Austria and
'turkey at 5,000,000 men. British casualties for
the same time, officially reported, totaled 493,
284. French and Russian losses are unknown,
but probably not less than the Teutonic loss.
Assuming the correctness of the later estimates,
Colonel Heussler's computation comes pretty
close to a truthful measure of war'a havoc to
date.
Booker T. Washington.
In the death of Booker T. Washington a
really towering figure haa disappeared from
life's activities. He has stood not only for the
best Ideals of hla race, but what Is of vastly
more importance, he has worked along practical
lines for the realisation of those Ideals, and his
doath is not alone a distinctive loss to the col
ored race but to the white aa well, for the prob
lems of the colored people are also the problems
of the white In a large measure under our po
litical and industrial system. Sinca the ending
of slavery, two really strong men of the negro
Hood stand out. Not that the race has produced
but two men of marked ability, but those who
have places fixed in history are Frederick Doug
lass and Booker T. Washington. The former
Performed a great service for hla people In
tattling their political and civil status In the
formative period following emancipation. His
talents commanded the respect and attention of
tbe white man at a time when It was absolutely
ebsential if the problems following the changed
conditions were to be solved, and in this respect
the people of his race owe him a debt of per
petual gratitude. Fully as commanding a figure
Is Booker Washington, though he addressed hlm
iclf to a different problem the economic and
social uplift of hla race. The great Institution
at Tuskegee standa as the most conspicuous
monument to hla genius, and from that Institu
tion and the teaching of Washington haa (mi
Lated an influence sure to be permanent.
Industry, thrift, education and character
building have been the keynotes of Booker
Washington's preachments. It was a herculean
(ask which he set for himself, but, with the help
of those whom he inspired, wonders have been
accomplished. That the work Is finished his
most enthusiastic admirer would not assert, for
that there yet remain too many, both of his own
people and of the white race, who either do not
understand or live up to the Ideals which ha
tsught, is too patent Yet he accomplished won
ders and it will need be a large man who can
step in and take up the work where be laid it
down.
Ain't It a Joke?
The new principal of the High 8chool of
Commerce lets it be known that In writing
recommendations for boys going out of thai
school, he will include on the information card
whether or not the boy smokes flgarettes. The
High School of Commerce principal Is a late
comer here and Is doubtless ignorant of the fact
that we have on the statute books of this state a
Ibw which prohibits and penalises the sale of
cigarettes, not to boys alone, but to one and all.
That law, however, as every one is aware, is as
much of a dead letter aa the wholly disregarded
"no-treat" law, and as a consequence cigarettes
are aold aa freely to minors as to adults,. because
!t Is no more of an offense. Yet the law-makers
who pretend to take themselves seriously have
repeatedly refused to modify our anti-cigarette
law, and make it enforceable againat the sale to
school-boys, where alone such sale might be
I armful. It certainly is a huge Joke for a high'
s-hool principal to put a cigarette smoking item
on a recommendation card in a atate where
(itarctte selling without exception Is illegal.

Aimed at Omaha
Nebraska City Press: The Lincoln Journal In de
ploring the fact that without an election this fall
It will be necessary, on account of ballot congestion
next year, either to revert to the annual election
plan or make the ballot shorter, hits only half the nail.
Just aa The Omaha Bee says. It la not necessary to
revert to the annual election plan to correct the evil
of congestion and bewilderment of the votes which
surely will be the case nest year. We have too many
elective offices In Nebraska, The Omana Bee 'a a
pioneer In thla much-needed reform and the Press
la not far behind, having advocated thla thing for
several yeara. The ehnrt ballot la as necessary as
any other reform we can think of at thla particular
moment. The less elective officials the lesa politics

under proper civil service regulations, the more ef
ficiency and the more service for the money ex
pended. Let that glad day come.
Norfolk Press: "Billy" Sunday s wholesale con
signment of Omaha citizens to the lower regions
haa at least had the effect of arousing the Interest
of citizens of the metropolis In that place of future
abode, If one may Judge from the columna of learned
dissertations now appearing In the letter bos col
umna of the newspapers of the city.
Blue Springs Sentinel: That must be a virions
atmosphere they have In Omaha that would cause
Richard K Metcalfe to turn against hts bosom friend,
W. J. Bryan, on account of the fact that Bryan would
make the democracy of the state a practical political
factor In Its support of the prohibitory amendment.
Humphrey temocrat: The political ring of Omaha
Is again putting Itself on the map by trying to hold
up Gene Melady. promoter of the Hussane-Stecher
match, for the use of the Auditorium In which to
hold the match. Farmer Burns, Handy Orlswold and a
number of the other aports of Omaha have loat quite
a bunch of money betting against Htecher and ever
since that they have been trying to make out that
"Honest Joe" Is a faker and a mediocre wrestler. The
Omaha bunch may be able to keep Htecher from ap
pearing In Omaha, but In doing so they will only hurt
themselves, for Joe Is too popular throughout the
state to have anything the "Omaha knockers" may
say about him, reduce his standing for honesty.
Newman Orove Reporter: The editor of The
Omaha Bee feels relieved because the war Is not to
Increase the price of diamonds.
Nebraska City Press: Newly weds In Omaha who
have been deprived of their educational privileges
before marriage need not be embarrassed or humili
ated. The Board of Education haa made It possible
for young married people to attend night school to
gether and make up for what they missed In the
grade schools. It Is a unique pln and a good one.
Lincoln Star: A woman writes to say that If
Omaha would give as much money to a bunch of
good workera and let them hire a nurse to care for
the sick and feed the poor, "they would fcive more
church members at the end of a year than they will
have after the meetings are over." Undoubtedly this
woman la correct, but what of that? Omaha people
wouldn't do such a thing. It takes Sunday and his
religious ragtime to dynamite the coin from the
Omaha pocket.
Twice Told Tales
The Wrwaaj Hoaae.
Hard luck had struck Johnson a fearful blow. Ia
desperation he took on a Job to sell books from door
to door.
All down one street he went without making a
single sale. Then, turning the comer, he determined
to try a new method. The first house h came to was
large and shabby, and a frowsy female answered hla
knock.
"Have you a Charles Dickens In your house?" he
asked politely.
"No" snapped the female.
"Or a Robert Louis Stevenson?"
"No!"
"Or Walter Scott?" asked Johnson, hope dancing
momentarily In hla eyes.
"No, we aln'tl" said the woman sharply. "And,
what's more, this ain't a boarding house. If you're
looking for them fellers, you might try next door;
they take lodgers!" New York Times.
No Qeeatloa of It.
A gentleman who was In France during the early
stagca of the war tells an amusing atory of one of
the fashionable ladles who were among the nurses
In the hospitals there. She saw a wounded man being
carried Into camp.
"Is that an officer or only a man?" she asked,
pointing to the figure on the stretcher.
One of the bearers answered:
"Well, mum, he certainly ain't an officer, but 'e'
been 'It twice In the innards and we've dropped 'in
three times and 'e ain't squeaked yet, and If 'e ain't
a man I don't know what "e Is." London Tlt-Blts.
Klasee for Charity.
Nearly all the youth of the neighborhood attended
the charity basaar. and one by one they drifted to a
atall where a tiny, shapely, scented gray kid glove re
posed on a satin cushion Attached to the cushion
waa a notice, written in a delicate feminine hand
which ran:
"The owner of this glove will, at 7:S0 thla even
ing, be pleased to kiss any person who purchases
ticket beforehand," ,
Tickets were purchased by the score, and at 7:90
a long row of young men aaaembled outside the stall.
Then, punctual to the moment, old Tom Porson
the local butcher, who weighs 200 pounds and Is al
most as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped to the
front of the atall.
"Now. young gents." he aald. "thla re glove be

OMAHA, Nov. 15.-TO the fidltor of The
Eee: As chairman and secretary of a
meeting of foreign language newspaper
publishers of Omaha, held at the Com
mercial club Friday, we alsh to correct
the Item under the caption "Editors For
eign Language papers Want Patronage."
In the article, which purports to be a
report of the meeting, the statement ap
pears that these editors "organised Frl
dsy noon, tilth the Idea of making proper
representations to business men of the
city In the form of a plea for what they
term their share of the advertising."
The following resolution, unanimously
adopted, clearly Indicates the action
taken, and cannot In any. manner be
construed to mean the above:
Resolved, That It Is the sense of this
meeting to orgnnlze a foreign language
press association of Nebraska at a meet
ing to be held at the Lincoln hotel Tues
day, November 16. 1MB. at 10 a. m., and
to hereby Invite all publishers of torelen
language newspapers In the state to join
us on that occasion In order to complete
such an organization and to foster our
interests before the state meeting of the
Nebraska Manufacturers' association.
Next Tuesday at the Lincoln meeting
some such statewide organisation will
undoubtedly be formed, and If It is it
will be with the purpose In view of tell
ing the manufacturing and mercantile
concerns of the state the truth about for
eigners and foreign language papers by
the only people capable of telling them,
the foreign language editors and publish
ers themselves, and not "In the form of
a plea."
The foreign language newspapers of the
state need-no "pleading." all they ask
for Is "fair play," and when once adver
tisers are told the truth about these pub
lications In the proper way they will be
accorded the moral support as wen ad
vertising patronage which they merit.
Truatlng that you will do us the Justice
of correcting your erroS, we remain,
VAL J. PETER, Chairman.

Ho to It. Yon Common People I
CHICAOO, Nov. 14. To the Editor of
The Bee: President Wilson quotes six
passages of scripture from Ezekial to
prove that God, through the 'Bible, sanc
tions war. Billy Bryan quotes gent
life and Jesus as against war. Now
comes V. A. Bradshaw of North Platte
Justifying "Billy" Sunday as against
some antl-Sundayltes.
Setting aside the fact that there are
reported to be 800 contending schism In
the Christian religion, these three con
tentions of present specific knowledge
are sufficient to prompt the Inqul y aa
to what the Christian religion Is.
Sure! The Christian religion is like
other religions It Is a Jack-pot organisa
tion by the crafty few to control the
minds of the many. This applies not
only to religion and priests, but to
political parties and politicians as well,
and for what purposes of control,
authority, government, and the pecuniary
interests connected with It.
As a political mountebank, Billy Bryan
takes the lead in this country (Roose
velt having subsided, but his photograph
we still have with us).
Contemplate a preacher as president
of the United States, setting apart a day
of universal prayer by the preachers of
the same beseeching God to stop the
war In Europe, and In the next breath
quoting six passages of scripture to show
that we should prepare to go Into war
ourselves. Most emphatically this does
ahow that religion is the basis of political
action by arbitrary power to control the
minds and bodies of an unsuspecting
people.
Politicians who have been sitting on an
office for the last fifteen or twenty years,
like old hens on similar nests, should
get off the perch or be boosted off. The
country demands a change to the living
from the dead that change of which
Jefferson and Lincoln spoke. These
things can be secured only by the com
mon people through direct action and a
well defined purpose.
Go to It, you common people!

A RHYME OF LITTLE GIRLS
Meredith Nicholson.
Prithee tell me, don't you think
Little girls are dearest
With their cheeks of tempting pink.
And their eyes the clearest?
Don't you know that they are best
And of all the lovelleet?
Of all the girls with roguish ways
They are surely truest;
Sunshine gleams through all their days.
They eee skies the bluest
And they wear a diadem
Summer has bestowed on them.
Lydia doesn't care a cent
For the newest dances;
She is not on flirting bent
Has no killing glances,
But without the slightest art
She has captured many a heart.
Older slaters cut you dead.
Little sisters never;
They don't giggle when they've aald
Something very clever
They Just get behind a chair,
Frowning, smiling at you there.
Florence, Lydia, Margaret
Or a gentle Mary.
They form friendships that, once set.
Never more can very
Staunch young friends they are and
true.
Always clinging close to yoo.
Buds must Into blossoms blow,
(Morn so early leaves us!)
Maids must Into women grow,
(There's the thing that grieves ust)
Psyche knots of flying curls.
That's good-by to little girls!
