In tie Case of Boy-Ed.
rresent Indications are that the Department
of Justice has been somewhat OTersealous in the
rase of Captain Boy-Ed, German naval attache,
connected with the embassy of his country at
Washington. So far as has been disclosed In the
trial in progress, the captain has done nothing
against the law of nations, or the laws of the
In I ted 8tate. He displayed a proper solicitude
for the merchant marine and the nary of his
country, but without overstepping due bounds.
It Is unfortunately true that not all of his coun
trymen, domiciled In the United States, were as
circumspect as the captain, and his relations with
them may be considered as affording the preteit
for the language employed by the prosecuting
attorney, which is now complained of by the Ger
man ambassador. Should matters develop that
we are wrong, the incident may be given a ser
viceable turn by enabling us to give the world
how quickly we may abandon a wrong attitude,
ence It has been disclosed.
War and Ship Building.
Announcement by an eastern railroad that it
ran not accept for the present freight consigned
to Europe, will serve to call attention in a
pointed way to the harvest that Is being reaped
by the ocean transportation lines. This railroad
icports Its sidings and switch-yards blockaded
for hundreds of miles, some of the loaded cars
having stood for eighty days, waiting for the ship
to take the load. Similar tales of freight block
ades are coming from other sections. On the
I'aclfle coast, docks and wharves are plied high
with goods, awaiting shipment, for which no ves
sels ran be found. Freight rates In the mean
time have risen to enormous figures. For ex
ample, when the war broke out, the rate from
San Francisco to Australia on wheat was 23
shillings; a few days ago a charter was made at
130 shillings. No war risk Is assumed In this
trade, but the demand for tonnage Is responsible.
,Tne steamer Minnesota sailed from Seattle within
a fortnight, laden with above 16,000 tons of
cargo, the freight on which will more than de
fray the expense of the trip to Liverpool, and pay
the purchase price of the ship, which was sold
by the Hill Interests to the British.
Shipyards are reported to have orders for
three years' work now booked, and at figures in
keeping with the advance in freight rates. Navy
yard bids on construction of vessels authorized
y the United States were far below private
proffers for doing the work. Whatever con
struction Is done by the United States govern
ment must be done tn its own yards. This brings
the case squarely back to the McAdoo plan for
the development of an American merchant
marine.
Short of admitting foreign-built ships to
American register and participation In the now
forbidden field of American coast-wise trade, tha
administration seems to face a blank wall. Will
It dare to break down the last protectfon, that
saved a few ships to sail under the American
flag?
Most Annoying;, to Be Sore.
With the primaries Imminent, and all its sev
eral members looking forward to endorsement by
the people, either for retention or advancement
in office, the democratic administration at Lin
coln is having its troubles these days. It was
bad enough to have the governor and the state
treasurer fall out and call each other names, but
to have the State Board of Control involved in a
mess that shows on its surface negligence, If not
indifference, in enforcing the laws, is most an
roylng. The State Board of Control was de
signed to keep things straight, not to mix them
up. However, with the example set by the gov
ernor, in the matter of disregarding statutory
provisions for the handling of the state funds, to
guide him, it la scarcely to be wondered at that a
newly Imported superintendent should have
taken some liberties with the bookkeeping. He
musj. have thought It the custom in Nebraska.
The Law and Its Agents.
The warden of the Arlsona penitentiary Is
Just now in a rather peculiar predicament. For
reasons of his own he neglected to carry out sen
tence of death passed on a convict, and now be
Is cited for contempt by the supreme court of the
state, which signed the death warrant. His will
be, perhaps, the first case of Us kind, although
history records many Instances wherein failure
to obey orders has brought disaster to the
negligent. In this case, the warden Is but the
instrument of the law, which In Its orderly
course has laid upon him the unpleasant, and
perhaps distasteful duty of hanging a man. It
the law la to be of service to the people, it must
be faithfully administered by its agents, and
only when it is so observed will it be respected.
American disregard for law is notorious, a na
tional characteristic due in some degree to the
facility with which we make and unmake
statutes, and the ready ease with which the
penalty of the law Is often avoided. The su
preme court of Arizona has a fine chance to show
the world that It respects Its own decrees, regard
less of the opinions of the warden. '
Individually, no doubt, .the American Bank
ers' association possesses' the knowledge out
lined In Comptroller Williams' statement. Col
lectively the association lacked Inside informa
tion or It would not have challenged the state
ment that some national banks violate state
statutes against usurious interest charges. It
behooves the association In the future to search
its members and acquire accurate knowledge on
the subject before speaking above a whisper.
A distinguished Wisconsin doctor tickles the
barren cuticle of baldheads with the positive
statement, drawn from lifelong study, that the
train cells beneath shining domes remain sound
and active to the end of the road. A baldheaded
man is never found in an Insane asylum. Com
ing from an authoritative source tht great truth
Is more precious than hair as a cover for the
bald spot.
The shoe-string republic of Panama, al
though assured of adequate nourishment from
Its parent, must obey domestic regulations or

an American supervises the spending of the

terms. It needs the money.
Custom and fashion frowns, but common
sense approves the dying request of a Chicago
man that his family limit wearing mourning to
four weeks. To those whose hearts are numbed
by the loss of those near and dear a garb of
gloom la superfluous and positively injurious.
First Two Years of
The Lincoln Highway
Secretary A. T. Bement in AaiomebUe TepJea. i
Mora than 2.JMnon have already been expended, not
to mention sreater auma In liond Issues. The aeconj
year, In spite of war conditions, waa more nolabia
In results than the first. While nothlnf, spectacular
took place, yet the work accomplished in an order'.y
and efficient way meant more for the euccesa of
tha road.
Tha eecond year of endeavor haa been concentrated
upon three main point the marking of the route,
tta rapid improvement In had-eurface material, and
the dissemination of educational literature and pub
licity aiming at the molding of public opinion to the
Idea of expending public funds, in a losical, aan?,
and efficient way, upon roada leading from aome
definite point to aome other equally definite point,
and built of a material which allowa of conatant uae
36S daya In tha year, regardless of weather conditions
The effect of this propaganda haa been far-reaching
and la reflected In tha doaens of organizations which
have sprung Into being during the last year with tha
avowed Intention of working toward the construction
of afmllar connecting Improved roada, either parallel
ing or connecting with the Lincoln Highway, feed
ing It.
To all practical purposes, the Lincoln Highway la
now completely marked from New York to Ban Fran
cisco. There are polnta where the marking la not as
complete aa It ahould be, but this Is being rapidly
taken cars of. Automobile clubs, local good roads
organizations, board of commerce, and other ctvL'
and patriotic organisations have made it a point t
complete the marking In their localltiea. In many
placea the tourists find the red, white and blue marker
on every auccesslve telegraph pole for miles, as in
sections of Iowa and Nebraska. Again, only one r
two to the mile will be found, thla particularly In flu
far west, where the Lincoln Highway la the only
roH'l, and It la practically Impossible to go wrong.
The assoclation'a records Indicate that over 1.150,0V
have been spent on tha Lincoln Highway In Ohio
during, tha laat year, and that l 10,000 additional has
been bonded for by tha different countiea through
which the route passes. Ohio haa slxty-stx miles cf .
brick construction on its section of the Lincoln High
way, more than any other state.
Tha progreas of the work In Indiana, a atata which
haa no atata highway authorities, haa been notable.
Hixty-elght miles of concrete road on the Lincoln
Highway are either under construction or have bean
bonded for at tha present time. A concrete section
sixteen feet wide haa already been completed between
Morrison and Sterling, III., In Whiteside county, with
cement contributed by the association. Sentiment for
hard aurfaced roada In thla atate la conatantly growing
and has been fostered by tha support of Oovernor
Dunne and tha state highway department.
The route across Iowa haa been prepared for hacd
surfacing to an almost uniform width of thirty feet
Eleven thousand barrels of cement have been alloted
to thla atate thla year for concrete construction and
will be placed as soon aa necessary action has been
taken by the legislature to allow of Its uae. Prac
tically every Lincoln Highway bridge of the atate of
Iowa la of permanent re-enforced concrete construc
tion, with a minimum width of twenty feet. The
thirteen Lincoln Highway countiea of the atate have
spent $260,000 In round figures on the highway In the
laat two yeare, more than half of thla aum during
191 .
Five sections of the concrete construction are now
tinder way In Nebraska on the Lincoln Highway, In
cluding the aeedllng mile juat being completed east of
Grand Island. A vaat amount of grading, leveling,
widening and straightening of the route haa taken
place tn this state, although as yet natural roada
conatitute the majority of the Lincoln Highway's
length. The Wyoming section of the highway, while
containing no atrotchea of hard-surfaced road, haa
received particular attention In the matter of main
tenance, and aome (200,000 has been spent during the
past year.
The Lincoln Highway from Lake Tahoe on the
Nevada-California border to Ban Francisco ia prac
tically In boulevard condition for 100 per cent of lis
length. The roads of California and the marvelous
scenery of tha high Blerraa along the Lincoln High
way bave drawn thouaands of tourists west thla
season.
Tha plans for the continuance of the Lincoln High
way association's endeavor during the coming year
contemplate a further extension of the work which
haa been done In the paat. Tha actual construction
of the Lincoln Highway to the ultimata Ideal tn the
tnlnda of Its founders will be an evolution reaching
nearer and nearer to Its final realisation every year.
It la especially desired to accomplish during tha
coming year a maximum of hard aurfaced construe
tlonin western atatea where local conditions will not
allow of auch construction with tha funda provided
through regular road Improvement sources. It Is of
the utmost importance to the atatea of the Pacific
coast, aa well aa to the great and wealthy common
weatha of the east, that the road acroaa our middle
west be In auch condition aa to allow the moat con
atant ease of communication between tha east and
west.
Twice Told Tales
ramlafclBC Cmlldrea. x
Rabbi Julius Bllberfeld, of the B nal Abraham
Temple, In High atrcet. In addressing hla congregation
on the punishment of children, said: "Many fathers
punish their children too severely for a misdeed, and
when this happena the child goea right back and
doea the same thing over again. I once knew a father
that tried thla plan upon hla sun, 'Whenever you
commit a deed that you know la wrong you are to
drive a nail into the pole.'
"Rome time after the boy came running to hla
father and explained that he had filled the pole and
couldn't get another nail In edgewaya. Father and aon
went to the pole together, and then the father asked
the aon what he waa going to do.
Seeing hla aon bad nothing to aay, he auggeated
the boy pull out a nail whenver he did anything wrong.
whereupon the aon replied, 'Why not plant another
pole, father" Newark Star.

OMAHA. Neb.. Nov. i7.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Truth la atranger than fic
tion. Thla la the sad experience of Betsy,
I and tha babies.
I was brought up to save money and
put It to work aa an InveMment. My
surplus money Is Invested In a company
that manufactures perfumes and toilet
articles. On December 1, 1914, the emer
gency revenue art, which put a "war
tax" on perfumea and toilet articles,
went Into effect. Thla tax la unfair and
Is a species of discriminating legislation
aa It la all paid by the manufacturers.
When congress gets ready to tax all
other trades and industries, dry goods,
hardware, Jewelry and the rest, the drug
and allied manufacturer will assert no
right to exemption.
Now the manufacturing druggist psys:
1. A "00 per cent tax on alcohol.
". A 20 per cent tariff on raw mate
rinls. t. An income tax.
4. A corporation tax.
6 Btnte. municipal and documentary
atamp taxes.
6. A "war tax" which practically takes
one-half of our net profits.
Take a manufacturer doing a business
of $.109,000 a year. Under exceptional con-
dltlona and before the "war tax" was
imposed on his products he may have
been so fortunate as to earn a net
profit of 10 per cent, or $30,000. Today tha
government la stepping In and laying a
tax of 5 per cent or $15,000 which la half
of hla net profits. Theae war taxes are
said to be a tax on "luxuries." Some of
the Items are tooth paate. tooth powder,
talcum powder, deodorants, ate The ad-
anca of hygiene haa made theae articles
necesalttea. The prices on an drugs that
are used have Increased on account of
the war and some of them as high aa
00 per cent.
The solution of the problem would be
n requiring that the tax be paid by the
consumer on every piece; the same aa It
s with the telephone, telegraph, freight
and express receipts, eto. It haa been
auggeated that the tax be raised to 1
cent on articles of 26-eent retail selling
price; 2 cents on EO-cent articles; 4 cents
on $1 articles. The stamp to be affixed
at the time of making the sale.
But to get back to the part of the
story where Betsy, I and the babies are
nterested.
We have a gloomy outlook for Christ
