Britain's War Office Troubles.
Great Britain has been airing to the world
its war. office troubles, which have long been
usperted and with difficulty kept from public
scuattlon. Cabinet changes, however, have ap
parently precipitated tnings so mat me ques
tion of responsibility for blunders on land and
sea Is so scute as to threaten a back-fire from
the rear trenches. In this situation Oreat

ountrles that go to war, particularly when the
var does not result In the speedy successes
looked for and promised.
The present European conflict, requiring co-
peratlon between allies on both sides. Is par
ticularly Inviting to division of counsel and
hlfting of blame for disastrous ventures from
ne to another. Rival claims for military glory
re much more easily dealt with than competi
tive efforts to avoid the odium of defeat. We
In this country had during the civil war sad ex
perience of the same sort, which culminated In
th nomination of a candidate for president
gainst Lincoln on a platform declaring the war
o save the union a failure. Regardless of the
Immediate effect or th fortunes of battle and
the eventual outcome, the stirring up of the war
lords by letting In a little light on their per
formances will do no harm. ,

Omaha and the Jefferson Highway.
Th success of the Lincoln Highway and Its
assured future is due to the fact that the route
Is laid out on natural lines following the great
central coast-to-cosst roadway. If the proposed
tfferson Highway from the Oulf of Mexico to
the Canadian border is to secure general ac
ceptance and support, It will also have to recog-
ise natural lines rather than artificial diver
sion.
From New Orleans to St. Louis there Is no
possibility of disagreement. From St. Louis
north, th geographic route would be either
long the Mississippi or the Missouri valleys.
Poth of these routes might be developed, and
doubtless will be In time, but we do not see
how any half-way-bet ween compromise over hill
nd dale can be seriously considered. The Mis
souri valley route would make Omaha the main
unction point with the Uncoln Highway, and
the Mississippi route would cross it at Daven
port, making a triangle when both branches are
completed, with St. Louis at the other apex.
This Is tb natural, and we believe inevitable,
development of any properly devised trans
continental road system. To project the Jeffer
son Highway on other lines would certainly be
decidedly hazardous.
Lining Up for Congress.
The president bad his first meeting with his
cabinet sine July last week, and as the most
acut stages of th diplomatic controversies have
been passed without calling In his advisers for a
conference, It is a reasonable supposition ! that
the lining up of forces to push th president's
program through congress was the incentive.
That this program is already mapped out Is th
Krneral supposition, and while th counsel of his
cabinet is not considered essential for formula
tion it is different with the political phases, since
th congressional experience of several members
and th numerous political strings which they
csn pull make them prim factors in this phase
f th administration gam. With the greatly
lessened democratic majority in th house and
the known opposition of some of th majority
rr embers to special features of the accredited
presidential program, particularly along fiscal
lines, putting things through congress may not
be so easy a task as it has been heretofore.
Record Grain Movement
Statistics complied by both the government
r.nd trade organisations show that at the present
time there is in th United States the greatest
grain movement in the history of th country.
At the port of Philadelphia alone ships are under
charter to transport 6,000,000 bushels of wheat
and rye to Europe, the grain is in store In ele
vators there and more waiting to go into th ele
vators as soon as room can be found for it. Sim
ilar conditions exist at all the other grain export
ing ports, estimates of competent authorities
p'aclng th amount of wheat and rye In the
United States available for export after the local
ctnsumption and seed demands have been sup
plied at 400,000,000 bushels, with a foreign
narfe?t In sight for every bushel. These figures
keem startling in vlw or th predictions of a
fw years ago that It would be but a few years
till tb United States would cease to be an ex
porter of grain.
The figures on grain available for export.
following a year in which practically all the
available aupply was exhausted at harvest time,
illustrate the reserve producing power of the
country. Tru th present year was on of rec
ord yield and acreage, but an analysis also shows
that hotter farming methods have been a factor,
and that th areas which could be successfully
farmed, previously not under tillage, were greatly
underestimated. That a country of such great
atea as th United States, ao fertile, and with a
population no more dense, should be approach
ing th Urn when it could no more than support
its own people with grain seemed improbable,
but statisticians had almost convinced us that it
was a fact Th first test by an opportunity for
profitable production and an assured market has
onfounded theory and demonstrated our ability
to feed our own people and at th same time to
tupply a large portion of the deficit In foreign
linds.
Business and Politics
Xonia Artho Coolidga.
(np'tERn are persona who constantly clamor. They
J complain of oppression, speculation and the
pernlrloug Influence of acrtimulaied wealth.
Thf y cry out loudly against all banks and corporations
and all means by which small capitals become united
In order to produce Important and beneficial results.
They carry on mad hostility against all established
Institutions. In a country of unbounded liberty they
clamor against oppression. In a country of perfert
eiisllty they would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly. In a country where the wngea
of labor are hlKh beyond parallel, they would teach
the laborer that he Is but an oppressed slave."
These words were not penned by Elihu Hoot or
John W. Weeks or Elbert H. Oary or Oeorge W.
Perkins or James J. Hill or (korgc Sutherland, or any
other of the great lawyers or lenlslators or business
leadrra of the day. although they .might well have
been penned by anyone of them with reference to
conditions with which we are all painfully familiar.
On tha contrary, they were apoken by Daniel Web
ster, away bark In WW, and they bore upon a situa
tion which prevailed then even aa It prevails now.
though not now to the same extent that It prevailed
a little while ago.
Between Daniel Webster's day and oura there have
be.n many fluctuations of public opinion; each period
of agitation against business and corporations bearing
Ita Inevitable fruit of disaster ami Industrial distress
has been followed by a period of encouragement to
business and enterprise continuing until prosperity
once more became widespread and malice stirred Into
life by demagoga again began to show Us fangs. As
It waa In tha beginning so la It no and doubtless will
be to the end of time. ,
After the period of great prosperity which marked
the Harrison administration, we had the popullstlc
crass which brought the lean years from to 1894
followed In turn by the Dlngley tariff bill and a decade
of unrivaled Industrial advancement. Then cgme the
era of regulation and business unrest, through the
clouds of which wa are now beginning to aee raya of
light. This business unrest was due primarily to self
adverttslng "lawyers of the people," labor agitators,
politicians and writers to whom It furnished a means
of livelihood or political preferment. or notoriety.
Brandeis and Untermyer are one type; Bryan repre
sents another, and men like Wilson and Redfleld are
still another. While the agitation was at ita height,
w never heard about any of these men making a
personal sacrifice for the good of the people, by
whose wrongs they seemed ao deeply moved. We
have heard a lot from men of thta class about tha
sad plight of tha consumer, but the men who do the
real work of tha world have not Joined In the excite
ment to any appreciable extent. Worklngmen are
consumers, but they are producers also, and they
know what It meana to have work to do and a chance
to earn wages. There has been sltogether too much
talk about tha poor consumer.
The American theory used to be that a man doing
business In a given neighborhood waa known to his
asaodatea and competitors, and that, If ha sinned
persistently or even occasionally against the criminal
code, his sin would find him out, but now under the
Wilson dispensation we have a new rule of conduct.
Our business builders In Industrial centers must con
form their practice to ill-begotten theories of imma
ture but stubborn doctrinaires and politicians whose
lives have been paased In communities unvexed by
trade and unfamiliar with Its established laws; and
even then they run th risk of pestilent Investigation
and persecution by an ever-Increasing army of federal
employee. How can wa find relief from this unhappy
state? One remedy la obvious: either we must divorce
business from politics, or else put business Into politics
for all It Is worth. If politics Interfere with business
w are bound to have business in politics. Tou can't
revise the tariff without having the people whose
livelihood depends upon protected Industries take part
'by th discussion, and you can't strike a corporation
or a business man through legislation or executive ac
tion without exciting vigorous Interest and provoking
political activity on the part of the men who feel
themselves responsible for the management of their
own affairs.
Th country will not be free of Its preeent affile
tlons in th form of commissions and Investigators
with unlimited power but limited discrimination, of
lawa that cripple commerce and Industry, until busi
ness wisdom and experience are recognised In gov
ernment and ara given due consideration In legisla
tion. The business man has a legitimate place In
politics, and ha should not hesitate to seise 'It. This
great Industrial nation had Ita origin under the au
spicious leadership of on whose aptitude for busi
ness equaled hla valor and disinterested love of coun
try. Oeorge Washington waa the second richest man
In the republic when he was elected president. A mere
fighting man could not have met successfully the
problems which confronted Washington throughout
tha revolutionary war tha probleme which Involved
holding together a straggling army, leading it through
poorly cultivated stretches of country, providing
transportation, guns and uniforms, and food and
ammunition. Ha was one of tha. few fanners In Vir
ginia who made farming pay, and he accomplished
this result by watching the detaila of Income an J
outgo with scrupulous exactness, snd applying the
same foresight and Intelligence to agriculture that a
manufacturer or merchant would apply to his own
Una of business.
Our first president was a business man, success
ful In many llnea of endeavor. He steered us safely
through th troublous waters which cam ao near en
gulfing us at th beginning, and set our rudder towards
security and peace. Of lata we have been drifting on
the ahoala, heedless of consequences and despising the
familiar charted paths. It Is high time to take our
bearings, learn whither w have been drifting, throw
overboard th reckless pilots who have tried to aet the
sails to every guat of popular demand, an dturn
again Into the channels where safety Ilea. Let us select
a pilot In whose Judgment we can trust, a man like
Washington, If on can be found, familiar with the
laws of business and Industry as well aa with the
problems of legislation and national defense, and
wedded to th commercial ethics upon which endur
In success in government depends; and let ua give
him a congresa upon tha honesty and sanity of which
the country can depend.
More Woe for Bachelors.
In looking around for means to replenish
th federal treasury democratic congressmen
jump onto th bachelor th first thing, and
It is proposed to lower, by $1,000 per year,
th minimum Income aubject to Income tax.
If congress acta on th suggestion it meana a
few less visions of the whit lights, a little less
of the Joys or bohemla, for Unci Sam will reacn
Into th pocket of the bachelor and tak away a
little mors of th income. If this thing is to con
t'nu th bachelor is going to have a bard Urn
tr it, for if he must live and pay a government
tax on meager incomes of $2,000 how Is h to
pay for getting his sox darned, his button
sewed on and other similar but necessary serv
ices performed and have anything left for th
(.aietles and frivolities of single blessedness.

OMAHA. Nov. IS To the Editor of The
Bee: .Measuring education by the earn
mtness with which students apply them
selves to the work, the results flowing
from night high schools mark certain
present and future dividends on the In
vestment. The men and women whom
neceKlty forced Into the workaday world
long before their time, or to whom school
opportunities were denied, possens far
grenter appreciation of education than ob
tains In ordinary school life.
Experience In the worlds workshops
brings home a realisation of deficiencies
In dorens of ways the educational neulect
of earlier years retards advancement, or
makes slow and laborious tasks that are
simple to minds grounded In the fundl
montals. To them the chance of making
up In part for lost opportunities spurs
ambition to the utmost and brings to the
work the tense earnestness of hearts and
minds fully aware of their needs. Hardly
any branch of popular education serves a
purpose aa urgent as these schools. How
well they are appreciated Is shown by
the numbers of eager learners crowding
accommodations In Omaha and many
other cities. The more completely this
need la supplied the greater will be the
benefits In Improved citizenship.

city and neighboring towns to Invite their
physicians to grve informal talks aa to
how to keep well. It is as follows:
To keep well and to aid others to do so
that la th object of the Keep-Well so
ciety. It !fi an effort In behalf of pre

This association helps to spread the
knowledge of prominent Washington phy

by meana of lectures open to the public.
They iM the sick to become well, and

Merely Manifesting Colleae Spirit.
OMAHA, Nov. 16. To the Bdltor of The
Bee: If I bad not seen It with my own
eyes I could not have believed It. Can It
be that there Is one man In Omaha who
does not understand and appreciate true
college spirit?
The Crelghton demonstration of Friday
night was by far the moat Imposing spec
tacle of college spirit which has yet been
seen In Omaha.
College spirit, or enthuslaam, aa ft Is
commonly called, springs from love and
loyalty to the school which we attend.
It prompts us to make such a demonstra
tion of our fervor by voicing the college
"yells" In walking the streets. It Is that
spirit which prompts "old grade" to Jour
ney across the continent to visit their
"alma mater" once a year, to sea their
old chums and to review old acquaint
ances Tet Mr. Atwood says that such a
demonstration ahows "a lack of perspec
tive." - .
"He says, "there may be some excuse
for such exhibitions of college enthus'esm
in a small town, but such la not tne case
tn Omaha." In answer to thta I quote
the words of an eastern college man fol
lowing a like demonstration last year.
Said he, "It does me good t- see thosj
boys show that loyal spirit. AH the east
ern colleges have such celebrations and I
have often wondered why Crelghton men
held back."
Aa to the "ordinary bualness man,"
who. Mr. Atwood saya, "Is anything but
favorably impressed, etc.," I challenge
that statement and claim that the ma
jority of the merchants and theatrical
men are glad to aee the ooys come to
their places of business and willingly
throw open their doors to the boys In
their Jollifications.
"W suggest," he says, "that th Omaha
theaters protect their patrons from this
aort of student enthusiasm." When we
visited th other Omaha, theaters (vis.,
the Orpheum, the Strand, th Oayety and
Empress) the audiences applauded each
yell and showed they were with us. We
damage nothing and Inconvenience no
one In these demonstrations, yet wa give
Crelghton tha best advertisement that
anyone can put out. I repeat, th Crelgh
ton boys have the right Idea.
There Is not on business man In
Omaha, I dare say, who will back Mr.
Atwood In hla statement that "these dem
onstrations do not meet with general ap
proval." for I know the rtudenta from
Crelghton university, Central H'gh school
and Boyles college bring more transient
business to Omaha than any Institution
or any single line of business In our city.

rneeeHs of Christmas Seals.
OMAHA, Nov. 1 To the Editor of The
Bee: I see the announcement again In

WHEN THE HUNTER HAS TO BUT.
St. Loufa Globe-Democrat.
Now cornea that merry season when duck
hunters sallv forth
To meet the Jolly, quacking duok which
comes from out the North
To hasten to fair Southern cllmea and
spend the winter mild;
But sometimes does not get that far;
for oft he Is beguiled
To tarry in some quiet spot, on some
stream to alight.
And if a hunter ly be near to quack
ing duck, good night!
Now here'a the proposition In regard to
hunters wise,
Who take their sport in earneat and are
full of enterprise
They've got to take some ducks back
home, no matter what the luck.
And oft against ill-fortune the duck
hunter has to buck.
The hunter who Is wlaa, though, ne'er
comes back without his game;
He'd rather shoot the ducks himself. If
not 's Just the same
If some one else should shoot them and
to him the fowl should sell
He goes home with a full gam bag: of
course, he doesn't tell
The folks at home about this, but his
plan Is aafe to try
When you go out after ducks and can't
shoot them, then buy.
