South Omaha claims that abolishing the toll on 'phone calls from Omaha will raise the rate to South Omaha subscribers. But why should It? The local rental rata Is no part of the toll question. ' All members of the cabinet are said to have forthwith enthusiastically approved the presi dent's message Immediately upon hearing it read to them without even the suggestion of a change. But, then, Mr, Bryan Is no longer a member of tha cabinet. Any one with halt an eye can see what would have happened to the wonderful Improvements which the senator proudly boasts having Incor porated into the reserve bank law had be not had the club In reserve to fllilbuster the ad ministration's pet measure to death.

No Government Backing: for Peace Expedition. Secretary lanslng of tha State department makes it very clear that the United States Is not backing the Ford peace ship project In any way. The promoter and his companions will be on their own feet when they leave home, and their venture will stand entirely In the attitude of a private enterprise, In the furtherance of which the government has neither part nor interest. No other courre could rightly have been taken by the government. It Is well understood the t'nlted States or any other neutral power Is will ing to.act for any of the belligerents In opening negotiations for peace, but the Initiative must come from one of the powers now st war. Our good offices were long ago tendered to the Euro pean governments by the president, a fart which seems to have been overlooked by some of the earnest advocates of peace. It would be both Improper and unfriendly for the government to Interfere beyond the tender already made. The Ford partly Is likely to repeat the experience of the Bedford whaling captain, who returned from a long voyage sans oil or bone, but who reported with some satisfaction that he and the ship's company had enjoyed a fine sail. An Unbiased Opinion on the Philippines. While on the subject of the set-back in the Philippines since the democrats took hold of the edmlnffltratlon of affairs over there, let us quote an unbiased opinion which diagnoses the trouble as duo to politics of the same variety that forced out of our diplomatic corps all the trained am bassadors and ministers, and substituted untried men merely to satisfy the pressure of so-called "good democrats" for salaries and honors at the public expense. This is the ansertlon of none ether than Dr. Albert Shaw, the exceptionally well posted editor of the Review of Reviews, who baa been a staunch admirer, otherwise, of both President Wilson and Secretary Garrison, but who, In the current issue of his magazine, says : The exlgenclea of Internal politics In the demo cratic party have led to the demoralisation of our painfully constructed fabric of good administration In tha Philippine Islands (Including Mexico and the Panama Canal with the Phlllpplnen). Herein lie real dangers to publlo interest. No attempt is visible here to befog the situa tion or to quibble about cause or responsibility for failure to maintain the steady progress that marked the government of the Philippines along non-partisan lines under the two preceding re publican administrations; neither will it be easy to brush aside this opinion by any charge of par tisanship or self-interest. The facts about the Philippines, as they develop, are certain to keep our democratic friends explaining. The Case of the Hocking. The requisition by the British government of the ship Hocking, held at Halifax although flying the American flag when Intercepted on the high seas, Is another of the annoyances and abuses practiced by the British under the rules of warfare as Interpreted by the admiralty. The legal contention of the British authorities may be well supported, but tnls is a poor time for them to rely exclusively on technicalities or quibbles. It Is hardly likely that the emergency Is such as to entirely Justify the action taken, and the conclusion Is easy that the purpose is to warn the world that Great Britain is deter mined to control ocean traffic by any means. Protest by the United States Is prompt and vig orous, but vessel owners will hesitate to send their ships to sea unless they may feel fully as sured the flag they fly will protect them In their ordinary rights. The general effect of the action Just taken by the British must be to aggravate a situation already such as to require of us the exercise of great patience. Interference with the trade of neutrals has reached a point that leaves little short of absolute control In the bands of the bel ligerents. Under existing circumstances continu ance of ocean traffic must be at the pleasure of one or the other of the warring powers. Whether this will be Indefinitely tolerated Is for the neu trals finally to determine. If the British government feels that ocean freight rates are too high, and that the combi nation can be broken only by seizure of ships, It might have made a more Impressive start with some of the vessels that sail under the union Jack. Profeisioni and Practices Expressions of the marquis of Landsdowne and Viscount Bryce, in answering a question propounded in. the House of Lords as U the at titude of the cabinet with regard to the declara tion of London, are indicative of a desire at least, if not a purpose, on the part of the British government to keep on friendly footing with the United 8tates. If these avowals of rec ognition of the rights of neutrals are carried out in spirit, the course will surely lead to a com plete adjustment of overseas traffic, and the possible removal of present causes for friction. Tha rejection of the declaration of London a a basis for final determination of action Is not In Itself serious, although England Is one of the signatories to that document. The underlying principle is admitted, and the dispute turns on the application of this principle In detail. Fur thermore, Viscount Bryce takes appeal to the principle of arbitration, to which both tha United States and Great Britain are committed, in sentiment and by treaty. The persistent heckling of the United States In the matter of its shipping, mere technicalities being seized for the purpose of annoyance, is hardly in keeping with the tone of the debate before the lords. It Is also unthinkable that England will undertake to "fall back on the old sea laws of our ancestors," as suggested by the earl of Portsmouth. A much better feeling would be quickly established If the British cabinet would make Its practice square a little more accurately with Its professions. Washington Gossip With the road smoothed out with honeyed oratory, bow can Governor Morehead resist the temptation to try It for a third-term spin? In truth, be must wonder bow he ever came to an nounce, when running the first time, that he would not again be a candidate for the office except on the score that he did not know what a soft berth be was landing. What that water works financial exhibit proves, assuming Its correctness. Is that tha Omaha water users have been charged alto gether too much right along, and that the water rates, or tha wster tax, or both, should be ma terially reduced not next year, not next month, but now. Bdarsr O. ttnyder. The lee's Bpeotal Waahlng-ton Oorreapoadoat. WHEN ex-Hnator Allen waa In Waahlngton re cently to argue the case before the supreme court of Henry W. O'Neill and Cornelius K. Hef formnn, plaintiff In error, axaglnst Jacob F. Learner, John T. Daley, Fred Barlels. David Glenn Armour and Charles H. Maxwell, defendants In error, he aald to one of the officials connected with th clerk'e office of the court that as h had soma repu tation as a long distance talker he would esteem It a very great favor If the official In question woul 1 pull his coat tails when the time allotted to him for his argument ahould expire. "Don't get worried about that." said the official, "Chief Justice White will rap you down all right when your time la up, never fear." And, sure enough, when the hour and a half given Senator Allen had been exhausted. Chief Jus tice White Indicated to the Madison atatesman that he had taken up all tha time tha court could give to his side of tha rare, but that h would be very g1a1 If KeQator Allen would take luncheon with him dur ing the recess of the court, which tha aenator waa pleased to do, as It gave him an opportunity to reminisce over old times when ha and Chief Justice While were colleagues In tha senate way back In Wi. Important legislation for tha further control of the national hanks of the country will be proposed at the coming aesslon of congress, with tha backing of tha comptroller of tha currency. One of tha bills now being prepared seeks to put limitations on tho powers of officers of national banks with tha aim to prohibit the practice of bank offlcera lending de positors' money to themselves, or to business con cerns In which they (tha offlcera) are Interested. In describing how an Ohio bank cams to grief from thla cause John Bkelton Williams, comptroller of the currency. In an announcement given out a day or two ago, says: "The failure of this bank was due to bad bank ing. At the time of Ita suspension tha bank was lending to Ita president and caahler and enterprises directly or Indirectly controlled by them to an amount exceeding Its total deposits. "This emphasiea tho Importance of securing leg. tslatlon which will prevent bank officers from lending to themselves or for their personal benefit the funds of depositors committed to their care." Also the subjert of branch national banks which may serve tho farmers will come up for Careful con sl deration. Both Comptroller Williams and Secretary of Agriculture David F. Houston are In favor of branch national banks, though they differ widely as to details of a branch hank plan. Secretary Houston would put very much stricter limitations on the power to organize branch banks than Comptrolter'Vllllama proposes. Secretary Houston Insists that the establishment of branch national banks should be limited to locali ties where there are no banks In existence. He also would make It unlawful for a national bank to organize a branch anyyhere except In the congressional district In which the parent bank Is situated. Hla fear la that unless the power to establish branch banks Is strictly guarded the branches may operate as mere "feeders" to suck up the money in the local com munities and carry It to the financial centers, thus leaving the farmers worse off than they are now. Becretary Houston's apprehensions are not shared by Comptroller Williams. The latter would favor leglala tlon to enable a national bank to establish branches anywhere within the state In which It is situated, such branches to b looated regardless of whether or not there are other bank in tha oommunltlea to be served. In this connection It la Interesting to note that tha recent decision of Attorney General Gregory 'With reference to tho power of the Federal Reserve board to change the location of districts, seriously Interfered with the determination of the board to put Omaha Into the Chicago district. The board had about made up Its mind to change the Richmond district to Balti more and the Cleveland district to Cincinnati, but tha opinion of tha attorney general knocked thl acheme Into a cocked hat. The opinion of the attorney gen eral, according to Senator Hitchcock la entirely erroneous,, the senator even going ao far as to say that It waa the expressed IntenUon of the framera of tha federal banking act to give the National Re serve board power to do anything It thought best that would tend to Increase the efflciehey of the system. The prevention of usury will come In for a larsr-j share of attention, also the dirrtenitv n.. i .. that tha national banka, which are subject to con gressional control, are only about one-third of tho total number of banks In the country. In other words, two-third of the total number of banks are not undor u-uereu cnaner ana would not be subject to any legis lation that congress might enact. Therefore, while It la within the range of congressional action to stop usury when practiced by national hanks It la not pos sible for congress entirely to eradicate the usury evil.

OMAHA, Dec. 8 To the Editor of Tha Bee: Owing to the prominence of an artlclo In another Paper, with reference to the administration of the mothers' pension ao-called I have concluded I ahould say a word, because too much publicity cannot be given to the subject. The Intention la that there ahall be liberal conetruction of the law In Its application, for the benefit of thote having children In charge. In order that homes may bo maintained and famlllea kept together. Btrlctly apeaklng. there la no mothers' or widow' pension In thla state. It la only for the purpose of maintaining a home, ao that tha children stall not be scAttered and only when tha family re sources are too meager for that purpose, that an allowance can be granted from the publlo treasury. The difficulties of administering such a fund are, of course, many. One Is, that tiw people may have a home worth thousands of dollars and something of a mortgage against it, and ask for a pen sion sufficient to keep the family to gether and pay off tha mortgage, so that when tha children are grown and edu cated at publlo charge they have a valuable property to hand down to the next generation, and which the publlo has paid for, although tha IntenUon la that no ona ahall receive aid unlesa they are at the end of their own resource. A mother or widow wtlh a large family of small children, under the law, aa It Is, If ahe had lino In cash would have to be refused an allowance until her flOO waa expendnd, unless the Judge In charge of the fund to be drawn on. ahould violate hla trust. I am going to ask a committee of representative cltlsens to meet and con sider tho question In Its different as pects. The word "home" as used In tha statute, means a place for the family to live, and cannot mean the acquiring of real estate, or the paying off of Incum brances. The rule lately adopted, requir ing famlllea having Interest in real estate, before they received aid, to give a trust deed to the county, was not In tended for the purpose of having tho loans bear Interest, or of foreclosure, but for the purpose of allowing the family to be kept together at publlo expense, and when the children are grown, to let them pay back what has been advanced them, so that they will be on the same footing and level as others not so situ ated. If the Intention 1 that the publlo hall procure houses and lots for homea for families at public expense, the law should so provide. The committee I have referred to above, will be asked to for mulate a conclusion satisfactory to the different Interests Involved; the main one, of course, being the Interested fam lllec, and also an aid toward further leg islation. If deemed advisable. W. O. SEAR3. Diinlloni from an Old Bei. HAMBURG, la., Dec X To the Editor of The Bee: In a letter signed "A Wife" ahe haa thla to aay: "Why ahould a woman get married, anyway? Why should she give herself to a life which Is a recognized atate of servitude? The woman who earns $10 or tU per week can take very good care of herself, and take time to reat, to attend theaters, clubs, etc Usually a nice woman haa many escorts, and many lnvltatlona to these which cost her nothing. Bhe can think what ahe pleasea, and speak her conviction without Imperiling her hue band business. When a woman Is free ahe can come and go when ahe pleases. Can use her money and time as suit her best. No sick children to worry her, nor husband to Inquire what did you do with the 12 I gave you lost week?" Evidently this wife was stung like 10,00) other have been. She should be able to answer her own question. Why did you get married, sister? I have asked thla same question many times myself. Why a young and handsome woman. drawing a good salary and happily situ ated, should marry a man of the caliber of tha huaband that you evidently got la beyond my comprehension. Tou are not the only one. though. Women are doing this same thing every day all over the land. And they are doing It In the face of tha protests of their parents and ad vice of their friends. All claases, high and low, rich and poor, educated and uneducated. I know a achool teacher XI years old who waa drawing a salary of 175 per month, with a promise of a raise after a while. She realgned her position and married a kldlet 30 years old who had a Job In a grooery (tore at 940 per month. He has since lost hla job and he and hi wlf are now living with her folk. Her folka objected and the school board objected because she gave up her Job elsht montha before her time waa up? Why did ahe do It? Another case: A widow B0 years old and three grown daughters. She owned her home. Her daughters were living with her, going to achool. A widower with a family of boya and a big appetite for boose came along and asked her to marry him. She Immediately rented her house, aet her daughtera adrift and la now keeping house for the above men tioned widower aa hla wife, of course. Why did aha do It? Another case: A man had an only daughter, beautiful and accomplished. He spent 11.000 on her musical education. She is now the wife of an insolent farmer, slopping hoga and singing lullabya to a raft of young children. Why did ahe do It? Another thing about the wive who get thla brand of husbands. They will stick to them tighter than a wood tick to a dog'a back. They will give them their money, ball them out of Jail, shed tears before the court. when asking for clem ency, condemn the women In the case always when hubby atep aald from the path of virtue and take him back, allow him to put hla property In her name to beat the creditor. And when some happy circumstance takes place that makes her a widow nine times out of ten she does the same thing over again. Why do they do It? Slater, you can answer the question all right yourself, because you hav passed through the experience. Tell ua about It In your next letter to The Bee. AN OLD BACH. TIPS ON HOME T0HCS.
