Letting Oar Light Shine. Slowly, yet Impressively, the attitude of Americans In relation to the world war la com ing to be understood by themselves, and In time It, will be appreciated by those whoae interest Just now leads them to harshly criticize us. We have been told we are making bad friends abroad, and that Americans are coming to be generally hated. This is easily explained as arising from the fact that we have so far prop erly declined to become Involved on either side ol the controverar. but have resolutely held aloof from any action that might reasonably be construed as showing favor to one or the other of the combatants. Yet our participation la the war has been notable and of incalculable value to all the countries whose normal activi ties have been suspended by the conflict. For fifteen mflntbs we have been feeding the deetltnte behind and between the battle lines. Governments of Europe are too intent on . de struction to heed the suffering of the helpless, and to these Americans have come with food and clothing and other aid, that their lot may be made the lesa precarious and their misery in this degree lessened. Along the battle line American doctors and nurses, volunteers sup ported by American funds, have ministered to the human wreckage of war. Science and skill and aympathy have done all that can be done to ameliorate the desolation and destitution the older governments abandoned to the care of Providence that they might press on to furthet devastating effort. Along with this philanthropic work has gone something of the spirit that has prompted It. Beneficiaries of such generosity do not soon forget It, and while the Innocent victims of the terrible war may not waste time In analysis of the altrulstio impulse that has brought them aid from the land beyond their dreams, they will call down a present blessing on those who have provided for them, and cherish the mem ory of that help always. . We may be making conquests of new commercial greatness, may be extending the sphere of Influence of our cul tural life and may be advancing in every attribute of human good. That remains to be seen. What Is certain is that we have con quered a wonderful kingdom of humble hearts through the light of human sympathy we hav spread In darkened Europe. Von Papen's Private Correspondence. . Some Interesting but not at all alarming disclosures of personal opinion are furnished by the publication of letters from the private correspondents of Lieutenant von Papen, late German naval attache at Washinjgton. These captured letters are serviceable to the Allies only as they may be used to foment anti-German feeling In the United States. Outside of that purpose, they have no value whatever. Th language quoted from them Is not startling, nor does it differ greatly from expressions publicly made. Lieutenant von Papen was the personal appointee' of the kaiser, and naturally waa in close touch with friends of Germany, and par ticularly with representatives of the German government In America. It Is quite In keeping with usual course of events that these persons should hold and. express sentiments friendly to the German cause, and that they wrote these sentlmsnts to Von Papen Is not a cause for special wonder. The United States Insisted on the recall of Von Papen because of his alleged connection with war intrigues In this country. The information Just sent us from London may serve to support the action taken by our gov ernment, but aside from that is not of serious importance. Life Insurance Farm Loans. The largest single golden stream capitaliz ing farm development in the United States has Its -source In the swollen treasuries of life Insur ance companies. In ten years their aggregate Investments in real estate mortgages Increased two and one-halt times, ranking next to bonds, In the opinion of the managers, as safe and profitable securities. The total mortgage loans of 14S companies on December 31, 1914, amounted to $1,700,000,000, of which 39 pet cent was farm security and 61 per cent other real property. ' The importance of this vast supply of work ing capital to the newer sections of the west is show la a report by Robert Lynn Cox, counsel and manager of the Association of Life Insur ance Presidents. The most striking fact re vealed in the report is the commanding lead of the Mississippi and Missouri valley sections In the favor of the companies, both In amounts loaned and low rates of interest. In the north western group of states Iowa, Minnesota. Ne braska, the Dakotaa, Wyoming and Montana the farm loans of the companies total $234, 118,000, or 64.8 per cent of the farm mortgages reported by the 1910 census in these states. The average Interest charge ranges from 6.16 per cent la Illinois to 8.S3 per cent In Idaho. Iowa leada In total of farm loans, $139,511,000, at an average Interest charge of 6.32 per cent, and Nebraska aecond, with 162,390,000, at 5.34 per cent. Mr. Cox points out that the interest late Is determined by land values, not by de mand and supply, as is too commonly the case. He neglects to state, however, whether the moderate Intereat charge includes the commis sion cost of placing loans, which usually awelli the cost to the borrower. The figures emphasise the magnitude of the task of formulating a rural credit ayatem which will cut the cost of farm loans and at the same time supply the billions of dollars required to take the place of private capital. "Why not prosecute usurers?" asks Mr. Bryan In hla Commoner. Well, why not? Th prosecuting machinery is all In the hands of a democratic administration, with which Mr. Hryan was officially associated for nearly three years. Furthermore the laws againat usury In Nebraska are quite drastic, and we have a valiant and vociferous democratic attorney general. The dawn of a bright leap year for man is assured. Neckties wrought in the designs oi rare porcelains or bearing hand-painted replicas of the masters are coming out for spring and summer wear, aijordinf sufficient decorative effect to render the tribe skeptical of proposals unaccompanied by a checking account. Getting Together The Open lor. Kansas city fttr (prof ): The republlcane have invited the progressives to "come back throuah .the open door." The progressives have derided to-go bark far enough to keep the door open. If the re publicana accept the progressive' platform and name a progressiva candidate, the progressives will go hark through the open door. If the republicans dodge, it la the purpose of the Cult Moose merely to hold the door open for other progressives to come out. Let nraraaea Be Byaoaes. St. Louis Globe Democrat (rep.)i In short, the coicnel's message reveala nothing of a political na ture, commits neither him nor the committee to any eouree of political action and la entirely free from offenae to any one who. In hla Judgement, ought n to be offended. It In another Indication that ha la disposed to let bygones bo bygones, and to center hla cnergiea upon an Issue raised by the circumstances of the present ar, which can be made a party question only In the extent of Ita application. Whether this Isaue, which be declares should be above all party considerations, and, we may hope, above all personal considerations, will take him Into the re publican party, remains for circumstances, or him self, to reveal. It la significant, however, that the date and place selected for the progressive conven tion will make the aelf-extlnctlon of the remnant of the progressive party easy and painless. Wsst the Coloaet Wasti. New York World (dem.): The colonel wants war because President Wilson la trying to maintain peace, and the colonel's only chance of getting the republi can nomination lies In his oppoatlon to the president If some mischance should plunge the country Into war before tha national conventiona are held, the colonel would be for tha peace at any price, especially If he failed In Ms ambition to go to the front na commanding general of tho horse marines. Coadltloaal lalea. New Tork Journal of Commerce (lnd.). The chance of the national organisation of the republicans re suming something like Its normal strength will de pend upon the position taken by Its own leaders and not upon surrendering to the dictation of those who threaten to defeat It If It does not submit to their leadership. What the progressives at the present time seem moat likely to accomplish, or help to accomplish, la what they profeaa most to dread, the continuance of "the .Wilson admlnstration." which they say "has repudiated the faith of our forefathers." Chlnafylna- the t'oaatry. Springfield (Mass.) Republican (rep.): Colonel Roose velt'a letter to tha progressive national committee hardly had tha encouragement for the grand new party which the brethren might have desired. "Purely partisan conalderatlona" are naturally rather to tha fore in tha committee's Immediate Interest. But what does the colonel mean by Insisting "that every man who Is within our borders shall be an American and nothing else?" It sounds rather like a change nf heart In favor of "Chlnaflcatlon." Such a policy la. deed would be going China several bettor. A Leap Year Proposal. Chicago Herald (lnd.): The progressive party has Just made a leap year proposal to the republican party In the form of tha declaration of principles given out by. the executive committee on Tuesday. The party promises. If not to be "thine forever." at least agree to a temporary or trial marriage under conditions substantially expressed In the fol lowing extracts: "Tha surest way to secure for our country the required leadership will be by having. If poaaible, both the progres sive and republican parties choose the same standard bearer and the same principles. We pledge ourselves to approach the consideration of the Issues involved In aurh an effort without any tieaire to revive parti san bttterneea." . Twice Told Tales he Caaae Back. Backward and forward he paced, hla eyes wild and rolling, hla face haggard. Aa the minutes paaaed hla agitation Increased. "Will she never come? Will she never com? he walled wildly. "Already it is fifteen minutes past tha appointed time, and yet she Is not here!' He pressed his hands to his fevered brow, and waited. He tried to alt In vain, and still waited. He gated sadly through tha window, and went on waiting. At laat! Ahl The sounds of little foot-steps en the stairs. He turned to the door, eager, excited. Tea. it waa she! "You have come, then?" ho gasped, dlssy with delight, aa he grabbed his hat. Yea. the stenographer had come back, and It was now hla, turn to go out to lunchNew York Times. A Prayer ta Time at Battle. One of the oddest prayers ever made waa that of an old Virginia aoldler at Antletam. He was lying fiat en tha battlefield and, to quote hla own words, "the ahot and shell were going over me so thick that tha whole firmament above ma waa lead color,, I felt Just then that I was six feet long ani pretty night four feet thick, and that tha chances, for me were only two feet better lying down than they were atandlug up. I made up my mind that my only aafaty lay In praying. Oh, Lord, good Lord,' I prayed, "please stretch me out as thin as a shoe, string, with the pointed and towards the enemy.' " Boaton Transcript.

To the Editor of The Bee: I read with some Intereat Hie letter of one Stephens Blttlck In The Bee advising German sympathisers to go to Germany. Well, why not Kngllsh sym pathisers go to England? During the Japanese-Russian war, almost the unani mous sympathy of the people of the Cnl ted Btatea was with Japan, aa against Russia. Now. In thla crista, much of the sympathy la with Russia, against Ger many. Thla. according to geometrical conclusion places Japan In advance of our German citizenship. My father was an American cltlsen. I was born in thla country, being thus a natural born citizen of United States. I ran understand the German language, and speak It some. I have never lived In any country except this. But It geta "my goat" to hear these fellowe call German sympathizers hyphenated Americana. Why not call those sympathizing with allies hyphenated Americans? We hear much about Kalaerlsm and German militarism. Why don't these fel lowa speak of Anglicism and British navallsm. Does not Great Britain today rule the sea? If Blttlck and I were to travel on our highway, meet a man carrying United Ptates mall and rob him of his mail sack, what would be the result? We would both go to the pen, and surely we ought to. But the allies have repeatedly taken American vessels, carrying United States mall off the high seas though bound for peutral ports, taken what they wanted of It, and the result waa the usual, "Wei shall protest" Blttlck forgot thla. Blttlck says, "Why don't these German sympathizers go to Germany and fight for that country?" Wall, why don't these fingllsh sympathisers go to their adopted country and fight Be honest with the publio at least and tote fair. T. J. STOETZEL. A Memorial te a Pleaeev Faaatly. OMAHA. Jan. l.-To tha Editor of The Bee: People who are Interested In the breathing spots of tha city are hoping that another and much-needed one may be added to tha number, by municipal purchase of the Caldwell and Hamilton grounds. "A park" was one of the first objects suggested for the ultimate destiny of these combined properties. Nothing could be more desirable for that quarter of town, or a more ideal use for the grounds themselves, which would lend themselves to It so perfectly and with so nttle comparative expense, their beau tiful slopes already so well laid out and cultivated for many years. For any other pnrposea. such as the municipal buildings .that have been mentioned, so much changing of ' grade would be re quired, and auch great coat to the city, that It should hardly be thought of at all. If expenae is any consideration. Parks are health-spots aa well as beauty-spots, and In both senses they are the agents of public welfare. There ia no park anywhere In the vicinity of the Caldwell property. Every large city has its downtown or central park; this city has only Jefferson park, which is but a remote and shabby apology for one, though It serves Its peculiar pur pose well enough. It would be an im mense pity to lose thla splendid chance of giving the city another improvement of the kind moat beneficial te Us real dents and moat valuable te its' own ap pearance. It would be still more a pity te sacri fice such a beauty-spot as this might oe to the purposes of a police station or even an emergency hospital. Think of that fine air apace for the region, handed over to the amoks prducers that already polaon our atmosphere almost beyond en durance! (In passing. It might be said that the municipal Officers, welfare boarde and all others concerned, would do the city more good by enforcing ts smoke ordinances than by any new pro jects that they can Invent) A library has been mentioned In connection with a police station and a hospital. Startling Ideal Would the patrons of a library-. women and children largely be expect-d to enjoy dally encounters with ambu lances and patrol wagons loaded with their sad freight and all the Incidentals to tha program of those two necessary but grewaome establishments? To one who loves to make use of a library, the Idea ia not tolerable. And It Is not te be supposed that Omaha people wITJ relish this novel "civio center" proposi tion. It would seem that their View should be asked before such a plaa Is soberly discussed. - If the city planning board has any In fluence at all. new la a good time to make use of It And If they have that sense of the "fitness of things.- as re gards city development which we ex pect In such a boa-o. they will realise that a park Is the one and only true end for the beautiful Caldwell property, and work accordingly. "Caldwell park!" or "Hamilton park!" either one a splendid name, and a memorial te a great pioneer family of tha city. Any worda from people who believe In parks as a factor in city Improve ment may help In that direction, and uch people are urged net te wifhold them. ci VIS. Colore Maa with a War Record. OMAHA, Jan. It To the Editor of The Bee: The atate of Nebraska and city of Omaha can boast of one aged colored man that did good service In the employ ment of Uncle Sara years ago. namely. J. W. S. Banks, or Joe Banks, aa com monly known here. He served many years aa a valet at Fort Leavenworth. Kan., for the following named officers: Captain Mitchell. Major General Phillip Reade. Colonel J. W. Pope, and as such went with Oeneral Mllea to the frunt to catch Sitting Bull after the Cuater mas sacre. But when Joe Banks returned he went back to Fort Leavenworth.
