And it waa leas than a year ago that It was "Our good friend, Villa." If the acerbities of war necessitate two dip lomatic dinners, perhaps the White House will have to go back to grape Juice and orangade. The lure of the simple life with exercise thrown in marks the call for buskers in tbe corn belt. Work for idle hands abound for all who K.ek it. According to all accounts. Rev. "Billy" Is ('.oiog tolerably well in Syracuse, but the final terdlct will not be rendered until the free-will ifferlng Is counted up. The conviction of a shoestring banker and logging Mayor Thompson as a presidential pos it bllity. all in one day, fills to overflowing Chi cago's schooner of glory. Tbo deal is said to be all fixed up for Chair i an McCombs to be succeeded by Frank B. J.vnch as head of the democratlo national com mittee. That's democracy for you! Let the i cople rule. Official assurances are given that India Is t. uly loysl to England, and proves It by fighting In the ranks. 8till, the lid and the muscle are doing business as efficiently in India aa the tensor In London. Chicago's Welfare board passed up a tempt ing chance to prove its usefulness by overlook ing a six-day bicycle race. That tbe shock of 4 killing whs needed to draw attention to this series of hlppodromlng is melancholy evidence ;f official neglect. Tho new basin at the Florence pumping plant, costing $100,000, is said to Increase our vater works capacity 20 per cent. Fine! Now let those underwriters give us evidence of good faith by pulling down tire insurance rates a bit. Alter they do that, their beautiful promises ubout a new fire alarm Installation will look better. A fifty-fifty split of the new and' old navy It the one means of maintaining peace on the Atlantic and Pactflo coasts. Senator Phelan of California insists that invasion phantoms are as Menacing on the west as on tbe east coast. Un less equal naval protection is given the West Ride Callfornlans will Jump on tbe Japs and start something. Fire losses In the United States and Canada during the last ten months aggregate ll40,000, 000. a decrease of 160.000,000 over the same period of last year. To this huge saving the X ubllc contributed through wider inspection, fire j.ieventlon publicity and Increased fire-fighting equipment. But tbe public is not yet getting the come-back It is entitled to in the way of re duced Insurance rates. The working capital of Nebraska represented by state banks and savings and loan associations total $150,000,000. National banks control an equal amount. Tbe value of the larger prod ucts of Nebraska farms this year is computed p.t (236.781,000. Added together the available resources of the people exceeds the half-billion mark. The showing constitutes' a secure .foun dation for progtess and prosperity.

After having steered the ship of state with out disaster through the tortuous channels and rtormy sess of the war period. President Wilson f'nds himself confronted with one of the most perplexing problems of his official career. Niturally the diplomatic representatives of the warring nations do not speak aa they pass by, fiid it Is necessary Instead of tbe big diplomatic c'.inner to have two of these functions, and here i where the trouble comes in. It Is easy to divide the guests into groups until the list sifts d wn beyond the representatives of the actual combatants, but the grouping of tbe remainder taxes the wisdom of a Bolomon, and it Is as diffi cult as striking a balance In an overdrawn bank account. Fortunately tbe dinners will not be I eld until after tbe president's wedding and he w.ll have tbe assistance of woman's wit In such Matters, which admittedly far outclasses the logic of mere man. No Whip-and-Spur Methods. The defense program of the administration has already struck the snag which The Bee re cently pointed out waa probable In case tbe pres ident Insisted upon making it an administration measure Instead of one on the broad lines of mtlonal policy. Congressman Mann, leader of the republican minority in the house, haa an nounced In no unequivocal manner tbat while he Is ready to assist In measures for national preparedness, he cannot be counted on for any measure which tbe president decides to force through congress and that he must see the plans lit detail before committing himself to their sup port. It is perfectly apparent that the measure must have the republican support to pass the house, and It is a foregone conclusion that no ready-msde proposition can ever receive a ma jority vote if advanced as a partisan measure. Tbe views of all tbe men who believe in the principle of national preparedness must be met in a measure and reconciled to each other, and this cannot be accomplished by the whlp-and-spur methods used for administration bills in tbe previous congress. Oil Pipe Line. Wyoming authorities have appointed a com mittee to act in conjunction with the Nebraska committee to try and evolve a plan for piping Wyoming oil to Omaha. The appointment of committees and agitation of tbe project do not necessarily mean the construction of such a line, but they are preliminaries which may lead to accomplishment. The value to Omaha and the territory back of it of such an enterprise hardly admits of discussion, but it is a' big project in volving a great outlay and only by careful and scientific investigation can its feasibility be de termined sufficiently to induce capital to em lark in it. If the commission will get down to teal business, collect exact data as to cost, en gineering problems and prospective revenue, it still lay a foundation for accomplishing so me lting. If It simply deals in generalities and per forms Its work in a slipshod manner It will fall n results and leave the matter Just where it baa teen ever since oil was discovered in the Wyom ing field, an idle dream. Manual Labor for Preachers. The p. eacher who advised bis fellows to get cut and chop wood, dig in ditches and similar things did not have in mind tbe economic fea ture of tbe clergy piecing out salaries by such expedients, but by putting bis ideas into tbe commonplace challenged attention to tbe fact that brain workers, if they are to make tbe best use of their faculties, must also do the things which assist in making strong bodies and de veloping faculties which otherwise would be dormant. It is advice that is pertinent not only to preachers, but to all whose labor is mental and tends to one-sided development, but it might also easily have another valuable Influence if ffllowed literally by opening up a vision of tbe eruditions and problems of the man who tolls as the term is commonly understood. Substitution of practical for purely academic knowledge might also help to solve the problem of class and confound the idea that the church is losing sympathy with labor and stop the mani fest drift of the man who tolls w'th his hands away from tbe church. There is nothing like touching elbows to awaken the spirit of com radeship, and there is nothing like a personal realisation of the problems of our fellows to lead up to a better understanding of each other and to mutual confidence. The minister or so cial worker who stands on the edge of the trench dressed in a frock coat or a silk dress has a poor show of reaching the heart or obtaining an attentive ear from tbe man in tbe bottom who wields the pick and shovel. To accomplish this it Is not necessary, of course, to make a business of toiling In the ditch, but a push up ward from a fellow Is much more effective than a gloved hand reached down gingerly from above. Will This Hake Prohibition Prohibit t Real prohibition begins a grand march through Georgia next May. In a semi-legal Knse Georgia has been a prohibition state for several years back, but Its brand of prohibition featured tbe label more than the contents of the bottle. After a thorough trial of near-beer as a specific for drouth, tbe natives decided to out law every grade of alcoholie stimulants and, aa one lawmaker phrased it, "make the smell of liquor a penitentiary offense in Georgia," Tbe law Just passed by the legislature la rpeclal session prohibits the manufacture or aale of any drink containing more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol, banishes locker clubs, car-beer saloons and hangs crepe on the doors .f tbe breweries. Southern hospitality In the customary public wsy is doomed under tbe law. Privately it U rrlvlleged to flourish as of yore. Whoever haa in clination and the price is permitted to draw on the wet states for two quarts of liquor, one gal lon of wine and forty-eight pints of beer a liionth. Any Georgia thirst exceeding the max imum can take the first train out for Louisville or Cincinnati. Court after court laya violent hands oa blue iky laws, the last knockout coming from South i-axoia. is apparent from tbe unity of Judi cial temper on this brand of reform that the application lacks tbe smooth, convincing vocabu lary of blue sky peddlers. It is up to Kansas to reform its reforms. hlj i . . . Burglars recently raided tbe home of Thomas W. Laweon in Bostou. Tbe fact tbat Lawaon maintains peaceful relations with tha rlock msrket diverts suspicion from Wall street. Preparing for Peace Ooaifrassmaa William a. Bssastt. ' "Democratic orators used to tell us that a demo cratic tariff would not disturb business; but It did. Tha war, regrettable aa It la. waa the salvstlon of American Industry- Even with Imports greatly Im peded by the war. our manufacturing Industries were so seriously Interfered with In this rlty Isst winter that 400.1O') people were out of work. The election was In part a protest against unemployment. "Rut It will be aald that conditions sre Improving. Of course, the war Is a pro tempore protective tarlft of a makeshift kind, and In addition we have this new trade In munitions of war. Whatever may be our opinion of Its ethics we cannot deny that It Is bringing money into this country. Hut when the war ceases and we lose Instantly both our substitute for an adequate tariff and our munitions trade, what then? Nor Is this all. Tbe manufacturing enterprises of Europe generally have hot been destroyed. They have been curtailed, suspended, changed and largely brought under governmental control, which will mean such regulation that foreign markets csn be Invaded suc cessfully. Ten million men will leave the trenches when this war closes. Will they be turned loose to be slowly absorbed without plan or provisions Into Industry? By no means. No government would dare try such an experiment "On the contrary, each government will. In the beginning at least, assign these soldier-workmen to Industrial tasks. Wages? These men ara soldiers' The governments control the Industries. I'ntil Indus tries are re-established tha men and their families will trig ara re-established tha men and their families will continue to be supported as they are now being sup ported. We shall face, therefore, not the product of European cheap labor, but the product of soldier labor, and our country, unscathed by war, Is the market to which their goods must come. Agalnat the wholesale dumping on our market of this flood of the most chesply-produoed foreign goods ever made, we must have protection or the employes of our own competing factories will walk the streets "I am for preparedness, but even more than pre paredness for war, we need preparedness for peace. That preparedness wa can attain only through a pro tective tariff and, scientifically, only through a tariff commission. I propose, at once, to advocate both." Eugenics with the Spartans Tha ancient Spartana were tha pioneers in the field of eugenics, and In the theory that the defectives should not be allowed to burden the state. Compared to this early code. Dr. H. J. Halselden's thrtory that an Infant doomed to be a defective should ba allowed to dla Is almost sentimental, "Whenever a child, mala or female, waa born to Spartan parents," said Prof. John A. Bcott, head of tha Greek department of Northwestern university, "II had no legal standing In the state until its physical fitness had been passed upon by certain constituted offlciala. This body of men made up of the loaders In tha community, determined whether it should live or die. If It gave promise of developing Into an abl-i bodied cltisen, capable of withstanding the Inlensivo physical training In youth, preparatory to a service of arms, beginning about tha age of 21, th.e child wss permitted to live. In cases where this board found the baby weak and possibly defective Its parents were compellod to turn It out on the mountains to perish or to dispose of It In other ways. This practice also waa followed by the Athenians, not so much aa a measure In military efficiency as a purely social one, to Insure a strong, vigorous, virile country. And under this regimen the Greeks continued for agea to be the most militant, unconquerable people In the world. There were few feeble-minded and no cripples, save those wounded In war. Indeed, In tha Greek drama, this elimination of tha unfit or weak waa one of the standard plots. Thus, In Oedipus, by Bophoolee. .the son of a king waa turned out in the mountains to perish, after his feet had been maimed. Ha was found by a ahepherd. reared, became a man of power, and, not knowing the line from which ha came, he slew his father ami married his own mother. Subsequently he learned of his descent, and he and his mother slew themselves. Rules for Good Health Don't worry. "Peek peace and pursue It." Don't hurry. "Too swift arrives as tardily aa too slow." Bleep and rest abundantly. "Tha beat physicians ara Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merryman." Ppend leas nervous energy each day than you make. "Work ilka a man, but don't be worked to death." Re cheerful. "A tight heart lives long." ' Think only healthful thoughts. "As a man thlnk eth in hla heart, so is ba." Avoid passion and excitement. "A moment's anger may be fatal." Associate with healthy people. "Health Is con tagious aa well as disease." Don't carry tha whole world on your shoulders, far leas the universe. "Trust In the good Lord." Never despair. "Lost hope Is a fatal disease." Twice Told Tales rrwfeealsaal Beggars. It la pretty well known that a great many apparent rasea of distress are fictitious, and at least tour fltths of the atreet beggars are Impostors, but it is to be hoped that very few benevolent people are so highly deceived as tha holy lady who recently In vestigated tha wants of some pensioners on her bounty. "Where Is tha blind man?" aha asked of a little girl aha met at tba door of the tenement house. "He's readln' the paper, mum." "Ah! where la the deaf man?" "lie s talkln" politics with the dumb man." "And what haa become of the paralytic?" "He's abed, mum." "That'a atrange! Ha ought to be running a race." aald tha lady, sarcastically. "Ha Is the only honest beggar In tha house. Why la ha In bed?" "Because he's dead." St. Louis Globe-Democrat Breaklaa It Gently. It happened aboard a diner on an eastern road ami tha hero of the aketch waa a waiter, a coal-black, ex ceedingly polite person, whose manner alone wa proof sufficient that he lived to make life brighter and fairer for hla patrons. "Walter," said a lone traveler, as he sat himself down at one of the little tables, "bring me grapefruit hot toast coffee and two poached eggs." "Kunnel," stated tha waiter, bending forward con fidentially and apeaklag under his breath, "scuse me, suh, but effen I wus you I'd tek so met hi a' alee this mawnln' fur breakfast I'm feared I can't reckermend tha alga" "What'e wrong with them aren't the fresh, or what?" asked tbe white man, "Well." said tha darky, "they mout be fresh, so fur aa I knows. But to tell you the truth, suh, we ain't got no alga today." Saturday Evening Post. A Wis Dewttot. Hometlme ago Brown began to feel under the weather, and a physician waa summoned.

"I understand the doctor told you to take plenty of fresh air." "Yea." emlled the patient "He knew it waa the only kind of medicine that I could afford to get" Phila delphia Telegraph. Pray. Who f an Tellf VALLEY", Neb., Nov. . To the Editor of The Bee: fan you tell me Is Henry F. Klrser'a heavenly mansion also for rent now? Fulfilment of "rrtptwre. OKIPWOLD. Ia.. Nov. II. To the Editor of The Pee: When a man departa from this life and 's not over abundatly supplied with "vain lucre," perhaps It Is then that the world realties that "our lives ara aa filthy rags." This Is In tho Bible, and within the lids of tha aame book, we Iram that It la "a wire child that knows its own father." The truth of this statement is being established at Hastings, Neb., where a man did a few years apo leaving an estate value 1 at more than $im,ono with about a score cf persons claiming sonshlp. In other lands, we realise there Is war, with "rumors of war" rumbling nearer home, with prayers for victory and peace favoring self and selfish In terests that have the economic forces of esrlh guessing. Yet, tomorrow's sun will shine as bright as on creation's mom. Let us rlsfl from our lethargy with the thought of "live and let live" and we wlli have "equality before the law" and the world will grow better. T. J. H. , At the nesrlnnloa. STAMFORD, Neb., Nor. l.-To the Editor of The Pec: Relative to the ar ticle by Mr. Wooster on redemption, to him the ass and the serpent are all the result of caufte. Now, Is It more ratlonat to believe that Mr. Wooster Is the result of intelligent or unintelligent cause In other words, a cause aa unintelligent as the law of gravity. Darwin seeks to atrtbute the power of choice to natute. Natural Is thst condition of things other than the artificial. But before there la any choosing there must be something to choose or to survive. We see purpose In everything In the world almost, but you must say unintended purpose, for Instance, aa In the eye, the ear, the voice of the ass and the aerpent Which waa first, the germ or the mature plant or animal? For Instance, the ben or the egg? It is beyond his finite mind to compre hend the power of a Creator. Wooster may call the Bible a relic of superstition and barbarism, but how doee he know that a thing Is absurd or foolish? If he hasn't the power of mind to know how it waa done, as for Instance, Infidels say miracles are not to be believed because they are contrary to nature, does man presume to know all of the workings of this thing which he calls nature and that It la not controlled by some supreme In telligence which his mind cannot fathom. Bob Ingersoll says that only within the last fifty years haa this old world been a fit place In which to live. Why should It ever have been if no one intended it to be at alt or Intended Mr. Wooster or Bob to be or live here? I take the Bible just aa It Is, for Its being written seems a miracle or wonder to me. And a miracle Is only wonderful beyond the human mind. We look about us In the mechani cal world and we see perfected models of everything and we aay what chance In 10,000 that they assembled themselves? And If a man la a fool to think such a thing, how then about tha first mortal body? W. S. HEDGES. Tips on Home Topics Philadelphia Ledger: Mr. Bryan In hla mora emotional moods doubtless -salutea his darling Peace with the chautaqua version of Lovelace's words: "I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved t not honor less." Cleveland Plain Dealer: It Is stated the $33,000,000 fortune left by C. W. Post was built up on the economies of the first Mrs. Post represented by a savlngi bank account of $750.

Boston Transcript: That majority of twenty-five in the House of Representa tives may look perilously small to some of the baby Jeffersonlsns, but to the old war-horxes, who remember when the "Cherokee atrip" took up half the demo cratic aide. It looms up Ilka the family wash In the front yard. Indianapolis News: We're not the only ones that are dilatory In regard to pre paredness. The majority of the voters in Sweden, which is much closer to trouble than we are, just won't do any thing along that line until they get a tip or a bump as to how much it will be necessary to do. At least that waa tRe outcome of the recent election there. Philadelphia ledger: President Wilson showed his good sense by ordering the reinstatement of that Illinois postal em ploye dismissed for crltl"lslng adveraely tha White House matrimonial plana. This waa a case of super-serviceable and officious bureaucracy, and Ita prompt rebuke Is a welcome evidence of tha essential democracy of the natlon'a chief executive. Springfield Republican: Mr. Bryan ha surely heard from the people. It is beln aald, because. In his statement before going to his winter home In Florida, he warned republicans not to expect any break next year between him and th democratic party. Yet Mr. Bryan always haa observed the rule of staying with the democratlo party whether or not It de sired his company. In Kit, Mr. Bryan will "support the ticket" because he be lieves In it no less than the Bible. A BONO OF LEAVES. rl Springfield Republican. O Father Time, discard thy sevthe!
