Time for Sober Thought and Common Sense.
If there was ever a lime In this Country call
ing for sober thought sod common sense it is
tight now when the craving for popularity puts
a premium upon catch-word slogans. "Take the
rrlvst profits out of preparedness" is an airy
phrase-, but what does It really propose, and
what does it really mean? If it means the elim
ination of the money-getting motive for stirring
I'p strife between nations and driving peoples
Into war, everyone will be for It, except the few
(et-rlrh-qtilck lunatics, whose cupidity would
coin the ravages of the battlefield Into shining
Fold. If, however, It means' that the govern
ment should make all its own war supplies and
t iunltlons called for by a preparedness program,
merely in order to put prtYat manufacturers
out of business, there are several other featurea
f be considered.
If the government goes Into munitions man
ufacturing on its own account, should It build
Its own plants or buy up those now In existence?
'ihe owners of these factories would doubtless
he very glad to sell to Uncle 8am on completion
of their present profitable contracts with the
Kuropesn combstsnts, and doubtless at prices
lower than the government could duplicate them
for. Out is the plan to take private profits out
of preparedness ust a scheme to help the pres
ent munitions makera unload a lot of Juok upon
the government? If so, we do not believe It
villi be quite so popular as may at first appear.
Another thing that must be borne in mind
is this: Our traditional policy in the United
ttates has been in times of emergency to buy
arms and munitions wherever we could get
them. The advocates of taking private profits
tut of preparedness would, of course, have to
urge the same policy for adoption also by other
countries. That would mean that each country
would have to make and store up for Itself In
advance all the supplies It might have need of
to engage In war for plainly, our government
could not aell to a belligerent and maintain
position of neutrality, and no government of any
neutral country could furnish arms or munitions
(o us in time of ar without taking up our fight,
and, in fact, becoming a military ally for the
time being.
What the proposition must in the end sift
down to, then, Is this, to which there can be no
terlous dissent: That the pecuniary motive for
inflating the preparedness program, or for em
1 lolling the country In war, must be reduced to
ill Very minimum by every reasonable precau
tion. It will be well for the government to do
for Itself, snd for whatever It must buy from
irlvate concerns It should certainly pay no
t reater price than th cost If manufactured for
Itself. But neither should the government be
rrt in a position where it cannot supplement Us
own production by outside purchases when re
quired. So long aa the traffic in arms Is leglti
i.ifte commerce sanctioned by international law,
th. profits on th sales by American manufac
turers to foreign governments need not concern
us any more thin would a foreign government
ho Concerned with private profits on sales to th
United Btatea If we should buy abroad. In a
word, our preparedness program should be laid
not so much with reference to the present Eu
ropean war as to what th best provision of th
future admonishes as necessary and wise.
Omaha's Bank Exhibit.
Th exhibit mad' by the Omaha banks in
response to the call of the comptroller are es
pecially gratifying aa Indicating not alone the
expansion of business, but the ability of Omaha
and th territory cf which it is the natural cen
ter to finance Its own needs in a commercial
way. Under existing conditions had there been
a shortage of money and consequent high Inter
est rate, cattl feeding, which is a necessity if a
large portion of the corn crop, which is sort and
light, is to be realised On, would have been
Cifficult. Th marketing of small grain, Tor
rhlch there haa been a shipping demand at all
time, ha boosted deposits 113,922,071 com
pared with a year ago, and the same doubtless
epplles proportionately to the banks In other
t'tlee In thla territory. Last year was a disas
trous one to cattl feeders, and without favora
l!e conditions this fall It is a certainty many
feed lota would have remained empty just when
the reverse should be true.
Reports both from the banks which furnish
tl.e money, from the stock yards and from the
country, confirm the atatement that the great
expansion of loans Is from cattle feeders, who
r thua putting to profit otharwUe unmarketa
lle corn along with a large portion of the entire
crop. In this Is found oh of the most promis
ing signs for business in this section, and par
ticularly for Omaha, to which most of the cattle
will com when ready for the market, v
Increased Mail Transportation Cost.
Figures given out by the postal department
show that during the next four-year period th
r.xilroads In the mlddlewest will receive $20,075.
r4.36 per year tor transporting the mails, be
ing an Increase since 1907 of 4, 300,000. A
large portion of this Increase is due, of course,
to the Installation of the parcels post system, but
the most significant fact Is that the Increase In
volume of mall handled haa been greater In the
middle west than In any other section of the
country. Postal business always has been re
Mrded as th most reliable of the business ba
rometers, and from this It would seem that the
tulddt west was expanding more rapidly than
any section of th country. This only bears out
th observation of all who have taken an Invoice
of th business conditions of the country. Basic
conditions here are right for building up, and
th faith of th people In the future as well as
th present of this section has never faltered.
The conditions noted In the postal report are not
temporary, but have been of steady and consist-,
ent growth, with every reason to believe it will
continue. They mean that whether th country
r.s a whole goes forward Industrially or marks
time, th middle west will be Just a little ahead
of the procession.
Some two years ago the state of Pennsylvania
levied a direct tax on the output of anthracite
teal mines. Owners of the mines objected to
Ihe tax. but collected It nevertheless, passing it
down to the consumer at the rate of 25 cents a
ton, or double th amount of the tax. Instead
of splitting with the state the operators put the
u.oney in their pockets, fought the tax in the
courts and won a decision annulling the tax.
What becomes of the money collected Is a prob
lem which keeps outsiders gueBSlng. Th
operators ai not worrying. The juice of melon
cutting smothers the dark brown taste of a
fcouge.

happy habit of FVench couples of working together

creameries and cleaning shops. Madame presided
proudly over the raah bo, while Monsieur deftly
waited on cuatomera. When Monaleuf went off to War,
Madame did both; and If, one day, you found her In
black you knew alia would continue te do both.
But It was In the large stores, offices and banks
that the woeat confusion reigned, until women could be
found and trained to take the places of absent men.
The crlala was far more crippling than It would be

TOPHKA. Kan., Nov. IT. To the Editor
of The Bee: An experiment of much tm
pnrtanr to the beet sugar Industry of
th United ftates ta being undertaken
In Colorado. For the first time In our
history sn extensive erfort will be made
to grow sugar beets from home-rained
beet seed. If this experiment provea auc
eeeeful, our domesllo Industry will cease
to be at the mercy of Europe for beet
seed and will become selr-perpetuatlng.
As you know, we Import the seed from
which all our domeello beet crop Is pro

point In its development where seed of
sumclent quality for successful culture
Is raised. The chief reason Is that we
have not seriously tried to. We have
been content to Improve, But emergen
cies show us our weaknesses.

government had to Intercede with Great
Britain to ttrt Its war blockade to per.

many for our lflt crop. But for this our
domestic, sugar Industry, worth IO.ono.tKO,
would have ended this fall, and with our
Importations of European sugar beet cut
off, we should have experienced
such a famine In sugar as we have not
known sines th civil war. Prices would
have gone sky-high snd It would have
been practically Impassible for the ma.

OMAIf A. Nor. H.To the Editor of The
Bee: Kindly pirmlt me to reply briefly
to Mr. Howell's article In the Letter Box
capped "Parole Business is Overdone."
In the opening paragraph Mr. Howell
aye: "Relation of crime and punishment
timely." I say the relation of crime.
Its cause, cure end tho remedy Is tlmelv
nd cf more Importince to society than
the recommendations he has made. Crime
can be CI nasi fled Into the following divi
sions: peP Cent.

involuntary or voluntary..,.'.
Tsklng them In their order:
1. A child born Into this world amongst
crime and criminals la not responsible for
that fact, and when he or she develops
from childhood Into manhood or woman
hood and is a criminal, society, which
Is responsible for their condition, punishes
them. Instead of curing them or correct
ing the "oonlltlt.n surrounding them.
1. Starvation facing a man's wife and
children, aa well es ths cold, will force
any otherwise honest man to steal. Pleas
ure, pretty dresses and tile warm cloth
ing and Other necessary things to please
the eye and senses, wilt often force an
otherwise honest person to steal. Society
denies people access to the things so
necessary to health, happiness and com
fort; then punishes people for trying to
possess themselves of thenvwhen there
Is sufficient for all.
t. The Insane should be cured, not
punished. Dtps, Incompetent physicians
and surgeons have started them In the
use of, or the greed for profit by drug
gists. Again society Is to blame here.
4. Many an honest heart beats under
prison stripes, and numbers of rirst
termeVs are tnads seoond and third and
Hfe-termera through the unjust discrim
ination of employers of labor and the
continual hounding of tha polios of svery
man who leaves prison and goes out Into

dice and persecution will not permit them.
so what other alternative except crime?

circumstantial evidence; voluntary and
chronic made so by prejudice.
Mr. Editor, thess are fundamental
reasons, therefore logical, t defy Mr.
Howell or any one else to disprove my
assertions. I, for one, am not revengeful
and further our system of punishment
has failed to stop orime. Crime primarily
haa an economic basis, and before we
ran correct crime we must banish Its
