From a convention of electric railroad man agers, held at Chicago, cornea a complaint that money for extensions cannot be easily gotten because of tbe attitude of the public towards tbe securities offered. These securities are affected In turn by the attitude of the public towards the enterprises they represent. It Is set out that restrictive legislation, uncertainty of franchise privileges, regulation of rates and olher forms of control hare so militated against the transportation industry that people with money hesitate to invest In railroad securities. This would be serious were It not for the other side of the case, which Is not exhibited by i the railroad men. If the public Is Inclined to coyness when approached by the railroad pro moter or borrower It is because tbe memory of certain recent exploitation schemes and subse quent receiverships is still fresh in mind. The transportation industry in the United States is still behind the country's requirements in many ways, but it has passed the golden age of ro mance and is well entered on the era of reality. Lines to be built In the future will not be to develop new region, but to serve the growing needs of established communities. This fact must be accepted by the railroad magnates as a basis for calculation. .' Another factor they must not overlook Is that no backward step is to be taken in the matter of public control of the Industry. What ever modifications are adopted will be to make the machinery for properly regulating railroad and steamboat traffic more effective and easier of application. ThU may bring about a com plete readjuatment of tbe relations between the tates and the federal government, but It will not operate to abandon the right to fix rates and otherwise properly order operations. Whenever a railroad company will present an attractive proposition It will have ba trnnbu 'n borrowing money so far as the money market permits anybody to borrow. England want the Appam back. Of course. But why fildnt she keep It when she bad itt All tba world acknowledges the ttneaoapable neae of death and taxes, only Europe more so. Even at this distance It la evident the so called British blockade wears aeveral large I blowholes. Five years of waiting weariness for a via dact that never came entitles Dundee to a place on the score board of Job. Instead of being out of the trenches by , Christmas, the boys on the firing line are getting ready to put up Valentine boxes. , i Tbe geographical location of Ottawa would ordinarily stamp It as safe and Impregnable but looks are sometimes deceptive. The silver market responds to tbe ginger of war. A drive toward tbe 60-oent level spurs the mining elbow and lends a silver lining to the pocket. A somewhat noted seeress of Paris puts out her annual guess on future events. On the score of credibility ber outgivings crowd tbe weather record of the groundhog, awssaaaBBaHHBaMnasnsMsassaiBBaBHB The spur behind tbe preparedness "swing around the circle" la not revealed la the speeches. President Wilson realises, as Cleve land did, that "democratic Incapacity Is repub lican opportunity." If Nebraska's strong box could collect tbe money Joe Bartley stole and banded over to Senator Hitchcock and other pals, but sever "put back," it would bave a fine atari for that much needed new state bouse. Wlille Omaha Is pre-eminently a market town, dominated by commerce and Industry, we must not neglect our educational and cultural Interests, which are equally essential to a city's making good on metropolitan pretensions. Secretary Lane's report on the oil situation affords consumers of gasoline little hope of im mediate relief. Still, the official assuranoe of bo ana loo per cent dividends for the poor stockholders helps to nerve the arm that digs op President Wilson is now said to be thinking of calling off all further western trips and mak ing a roundup of the soutb. Now, be Is on tbe right track If he want to get Into "the enemy's country" that Is feeding the opposition within his own party lines. Local merchants are trying: to shut down oa what la known aa tho-"roturn-of-goods" abuse. The difficulty is that . the average merchant would rather take a chance on the return of goods aent on approval than forego the possi . bility of a sale which be knows bis competitor will make if he does not. It's up to the mer chant. The Community Spirit Time and again The' Bee has endeavored to. lay emphasis on the fact that the upbuljdln of a city calls not only for intelligently directed effort to secure new Industries and commercial establishments, but also for steadfast support for Institutions we already possess, if they are worth having at all. It goes without saying that the loss of a factory, or business hnuaa nr school, or hospital, giving employment to onr own people and drawing patronage from abroad, is really more of a setback for a city than failure to secure some new concern yet to develop and to achieve success. What we have In mind at this particular moment is tbe appeal of Brownell Hall to its friends to see to its need for a new and modern home so that it may continue Its good work and xpand its activities as required. As has been well said. If this academy, with Its satisfactory record, were located elsewhere and open to In ducement for new location, the prospect of getting It for Omaha would, without doubt, quickly enlist our people In a movement to secure It This Is but one Instance of several that could be cited to illustrate tbe point we are trying to make. Omaha has the community spirit to a large degree and has manifested H oa many occasions, and it mnst not let' this community spirit lag today when there is need for It more than ever. Cruz in the LusiUnia Case. Another serious hitch has halted the con summation of ' the negotiations between the United States and Germany for the settlement of the Lusltaoia case, due entirely to argument at cross purposes. The Carman foreign office puta a construction on the American note aside from its actual meaning, and persiats in,daling wnn a phase or tbe question that does not exist, I tie imted States does not seek to bave the submarine campaign abandoned, nor was this action at any time contemplated. What the United Statea did Inalst upon ta that the under sea boats be required to carry on their share ta the conflict with due consideration for the hu mane rules of warfare. This requires the observation of regulations for visit and search, no more sinking of paaaen ger ahlpa without warning, no more aacrlftce of non-combatants' lives. This Is the crux of tbe Lusltaoia case. The proteat of the United Statea was made against the act of sinking that great liner, with a loss of 1.800 lives, without warning. It la this the German government Is asked to disavow, and not that submarine war fare Is Illegal, when carried on la conformity to rules that pertain among clrtliied nations. The correspondence may go oa Indefinitely, but the German position ia becoming weaker with each succeeding note. Modifications la orders to commanders of submersibles admit the correctness of the America a position. The final outcome of the case la far from being hope le from our standpoint Filipino "Independence." t Looking well ahead to tbe days of tbe cam paign now dawning, the democrats in the United States senate bave tossed another tub to the whale. And a moat Inefficient tub It Is. too. The pretense of granting Independence to the Filipinos, as adopted by a division on party lines, is hedged about with such provisions as make the bill seem more like a Joke than a seri ous attempt at Important legislation. Our little brown brothers will be greatly uplifted whea they bave bad time to thoroughly assimilate this latest evidence of the duplicity of their demo cratic champions. The. bill promises that we will withdraw from the Islands la 121. if. the then president of the United States deems such action expedi ent and for tbe best Interests of both peoples. The possibility of this expediency la conditioned upon certain requirements the Filipinos will nave to meet and which are not likely to be fulfilled. Polygamy must be abandoned, pro hibition Is to be established to the extent that no liquors can be Imported, and the natives are to be restricted to home-made booze; returned adventurers and Investigators unite In testifying tbe beverages Indigenous to the islands are of sufficient potency to meet any requirements of the bibulous. Tbe bill alio limits tbe franchise of voting to certain classes, and in other ways minutely stipulates In what manner the "Inde pendent" Filipino shall conduct btmselt, bodging him about as carefully aa It he were to remain permanently a ward. Tbe bill does not deal frankly with either Americans or Filipinos. If we are to abandon our protectorate of the islands, haul down our flag and depart from thence, why not say so outright? If we are to give the Filipino his freedom, why not give It to him freely, Instead of conditionally? Tbe bill as passed by the senate will make the United States a laughing stock among the peoples of the world, and especially In the Philippines. y rxoToa atosswATxm. SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. I ATTENDED the meeting of the North Nebraska Editorial association, held at Warn a week ago, whom I took pleasure In observing that not even below-aero temperature could chill the ardent Inter eat of those present In the proceeding, which were carried out aocordlns to pros-ram. The affect of ad- ' vorse weather conditions In keeping away quite a few, who otherwise would have been there, waa nat urally to some extent disappointing", but the papers and discussions were straight to the point and while dealing' chiefly with conditions confronting the small torn n publisher could not but repay participation In the meeting. The bunch who have pre-empted edito rial homesteads In the northeast section of thla state will average up with the llvest wires among tbelr col leagues anywhere, and the? have formed their aao clatlon strictly on the basla of mutual help. This waa most pointedly brought out by the adoption of the constitution and by-laws wherein the duea were fixed at a nominal figure to cover the bare expenses of the secretary's printing and postage, with no allow ance whatever for services,' for the express purpose of smoothing away all obstacles from the path of an eligible member and making the official positions wholly honorary, and not to ba eotight for any per qulsltles. Thla meeting gave the people of Wayne opportunity to demonstrate their prise brand of hospitality, which mora than cam up to the highest mark, despite the severe weather test. The banquet In the evening has been characterised aa "tha stellar event" and Its execu tion Indicated the careful planning and patnataklng ef fort that had been put upon It an which, could well be emulated In tha entertainments provided for similar convention guest in our own more pretentions city. All tba way through tha arrangements and decora tions, tha fact waa never overlooked that tha ban quet waa in honor of visitors belonging to the news paper profession, nor was tha newspaper theme de parted from. Tha parlors of tha beautiful, new Bap tist church, where tha banquet waa served, became a bower of paper festoons, with distinctive pannanta bearing tha Imprints of tha headings of the different newspapers represented. Tha paper napklna carried the portraits of tha beadllners on tha speakers' list, and artificial flowers on tha table were speolally made of an admixture of colored paper and printed news paper with noticeably artlstio effect. The special atunt of the evening waa tha resurrection of the shade of Horace Greeley, impersonated for tha oceaaton to hurt right-banded . and left-handed bouquets At all of ua, yet all in good nature. Aa manifesting tha spirit with which tha townspeople entered Into the af fair, It la only necessary to atata that over MO attended the banquet, and so far aa I could aee stayed through from first to last for a talkfeat, which, with appro priate occasional musical Interludes, kept them there from 7 o'clock until nearly midnight, giving appar ently aa cordial reception to tha last apeaker aa to tha first, and with no outward evidence of being bored. I notloed tha Wayne Herald auggeata going after tha Stat Press association meeting for 1917. 1 have no hesitation la saying, "Oo to It." and I stand ready to testify to tha ability of Wayne to make good on any entertainment pro position lta people may undertake. It ia wonderful what pride tha tnhabltanta of towns Ilka Wayne take In their public schools and what superior advantages are being offered for tha training of tha oomlng generation. The Wayne High school, which we visited, will easily compare wltb the best modela for. convenience and for modern equip ment and general adaptability to purpose, and the brlght-faoed boys and girla there constitute tha best Insurance policy on the Intelligence of our future clt laenahlp. The people of Wayne are also proud of their Normal school. . which la steadily expanding. Tba bulldlnga that have been erected since tha state took over the property are attractive and creditable, and from tha nuctaua of a otmpus group whose comple tion must be only, a Question of time. Tha young folks attending thla normal, however, are still being housed In tha dormitories, Inherited from tha eld regime, three-story wooden structures which, while furnished In tolerable eomfort and presumably as safe as buildings of that character can be, ought to be re placed with substantial, fireproof structures Juat aa fast a the neoeaaary money can ba provided. It la not fair for the people of a rich atata like Nebraska to make our young man and young women, who are bending their energlea to securing an education, to fit them for the oneroua duties of teaching school, to live In dormitories that are so out of date and out of harmony with tha bulldlnga containing the offices, elasfl room a, laboratories an4 assembly balls. Incidentally, we all had "our picture took" In an at mosphere of congealed frigidity and with a foreground Of beautiful snow of that unbletniehed whiteness found only In regions tike Nebraska, which picture la repro duced for yovr adlfloatlon on another page of thla issue. I fear It would be dimwit to distinguish the editorial company In winter garb unless properly labeled. The owner of each face la invited to find himself and advise me If any mlatakea have been made, "To Die for One'i Country." A French directory. Just out gives the names of J, 000 French notables who have given their lives for France during the present war. An old motto, coming down to us from Romaa days, says, "It Is sweet and proper to die for one's country." rrom tbe time the family was formed ss a social entity this thought has prevailed. The grouping of families In gens. Into tribes. into races and Into nations has not changed the thought Man's mind is trained to certain Ideals, supposedly comprehended la the trad! tlons of the government under which he lives, and thla becomes his country. Sentiment is stronger than reason In his attachment to his country. His home, hit fireside, the means whereby he lives snd rears his brood, are In volved la bis country. Patriotism Is not a mere abstraction, nor Is It ponderable, but It Is a mighty force, and the Roman saying holds much of truth. No roan ran do 'more, nor should be expect to give lesa than hia life to hla J country Twioe Told Tales Heave Tavleat. A man from "upstate" had gone to a theater In New Tork. In an Interval between the aota ha turned to the metropolitan who had tbe aeat next to him. "Where do all them troopers coma from? ' he In quired. . "I don't think I understand." aatd the city dweller. "I mean them actors up yonder oa the stage," explained the man from afar. "Waa they brought on specially for thla ahow or do they live hereT" "I believe moat of them live here In town," aald the New Yorker. "Well, they do purty blamed well for home talent,' aatd the ti anger.

BRIEF BITS OF SCIENCE. American farm ere are all blown up about tha fact that 26,000,000 pounds of dynamite waa uaed for agricultural pur poses in thla country laat year. Recent experiments In England have hown that paper pulp of a good quality can ba made from audd, the Inexhaustible vegetable product of the White Nile. Without resort to computation, a new nautical instrument, to ba mounted over ahlp's eompeaa, enables tbe directions of objects at aee and their distances away to be determined.
