Wake iiji! How Ioiik have you been sleeping,
j. mi bat-blind partisan ilemocrat?
re you not aware that the invitations to par
I tkipate in the Nebraska senii-cetitennial velebra
; lion proKram at Omaha went out simultaneously
to President Wilson and Mr. Hughes several
weeks ago? In truth, we believe the invitation to
the president reached its destination first, being
presented personally by Senator Hitchcock, the
(act being duly chronicled at the time by all the
be newspapers published in Nebraska. The re
turn made by the senator was to the effect that
the president's detailed plans for the autumn were
still undetermined and that he would give the in
vitation fioni Omaha his best consideration when
he eatne i ti his engagements.
So. if b.'th President Wilson and Mr. Hughes
are not lu re to take part in "this magnificent cel
ebration i, historical week m Omaha" it will not
be due to .my fault on the part of the "political
prestidigitators." self-constituted into a commit
tee "to pull i.tl this stunt."

Madness of Midsummer.
Does the sun of midsummer beget
in the brains of man a tendency to
ibnormal conduct? It would seem so,
if the happenings recorded in different
parts of the country may be taken as'
a gauge. Men singly and in groups
are indulging in all sorts of miscon
duct, and crimes of violence seem
more numerous than common. It is
certain that man in some measur.
yields to the influence of the weather,
his physical powers at least relaxing
to a degree where he is not capable
of the sustained effort he easily puts
forth when not under stress of un
usual climatic conditions. A continued
term of excessive cold or heat makes
severe calls on the resisting qualities
of human beings, and it is certain
that the mind in some way reflects the
tendency of the body. The actinic
rays of the sun's light, which are
potent to destroy, are more powerful
in summer than in winter, and are
more effective in direct contact. All
this would seem to support the theory
of the police that people are more
fractious and less capable of self
restraint during a hot spell than at
any other time. At any rate, the dis
orders that are now disturbing society
may as well be ascribed to the
weather as to man's innate bent to
wrongdoing.
One of Our Failures.
Prevalence of a rampant plague among the
children m the greatest of American cities is a
startling indictment of our civilization. Scientific
men are agreed the disease has its start in dirt,
and dirt is an evidence of neglect. If New York
had been as careful of conditions under which its
people live as it is of some other phases of its
housekeeping, il would now be spared this scourge
of poliomyelitis. Science is straining its utmost
endeavor to discover a panacea for the disease,
but nothing has been heard of any effort to re
move the cause. Nor is New York the only of
fender in this regard. Not an American city but
has its plague spots, most of them in plain view.
Neglect of ordinary rules of cleanliness is com
mon. An epidemic brings sharply to the fore the
need for cleaning up, but its effects soon pass,
and we return to our habits of communal sloven
liness. We may neglect the poor in our great
cities, and turn them over to charity when want
and famine menace them, but they have their re
venge. Out of the squalor in which they spend
their lives disease is born, and the germ doesn't
discriminate. We can not, perhaps, abolish pov
erty, but we can make such arrangements as will
enaiiic uic poor io Keep tneir surroundings clean,
and by doing so insure to that extent against the
prevalence of any plague.
Nebraska and the Automobile.
Attention has several times been called to the
popularity of the automobile in Nebraska, shown
by its general use for all its varied purposes, l'ig
ures from the office of the secretary of state for
the month of July show that nearly R7.1H.H1 of
these machines are registered, in addition to more
than 5.000 motorcycles. This means one automo
bile in service for each fifteen persons in the state.
The self-propelled vehicle nowhere in the world
has been more generally adopted for business and
pleasure than in this state. Nor is it the auto
alone that is popular and useful in Nebraska, ior
the coming of the tractor show at Fermont next
week reminds us that this form of farm power is
coming generally into service throughout the
west. A noteworthy feature of the situation is
that with all the increase in engine-driven ma
chinery on the farm, the number of horses owned
in the state has diminished Jbut slightly. Gov
ernment reports at the beginning of the year
showed the state to have 1 ,030,01X1 horses, as com
pared with 1,038,000 in January 1, 1915. If this
proves anything, it is that the machine has supple
mented rather than displaced the horse. Farm
operations and general business is that much more
extensive, and is steadily growing, the increase in
the number of automobiles fairly indicating the
progress of the state.
How France Will Pay for War.
Lessons in the homelier virtues have been
driven home to the nations of Europe by the
hammer of Mars. Habits of ease and luxury
have fallen away, and the neglected tasks of yes
terday are today's order of business. Sturdier
qualities come uppermost again, and each people
finds itself breathing stronger and deeper and
looking at things with a clearer eye than ever
before. It is well, too, for if they are to regain
the place where they stood two years ago, they
have a tremendous task ahead. We have often
been told, when someone felt like commenting on
our national extravagance, that a French family
would live well on what an American family
wastes. And now comes in all earnestness a
French woman, and proposes that France will pay
for its share in the war by economies to be prac
ticed in French kitchens! The French people, she
says, can and will be well fed, but at a cost so far
,below what Is now expended for the purpose
that the difference will soon make the war debt
seem like just a bad dream. Diet is to be regu
lated scientifically, and while all are to have
enough, none will be wasted, and a still more de
pendable race of Frenchmen will arise because of
being better fed at less expense. If this should
come to pass, it will afford an object lesson that
will be amazing, and perhaps as serviceable to
Americans as any.
Southern suffrage women say they prefer Wil
son's stand to Hughes' advocacy of suffrage by
federal constitutional amendment. In other
words, the southern sisters are so gallant they
do not want the ballot until the men in each
state, respectively, are ready to give it to them.
The suffragists in the north would have the wom
en who have already acquired the ballot help en
franchise those from whom it is still withheld.
This gets right back again to the issue of na
tionalism as against states' rights.

Story-ette of the Day.
"In the southern part of Arkansas," savs Sen
ator Overman, "where the natives take things
easy, a man and his wife were sitting on their
porch, when a funeral procession passed the
bouse. The man was comfortably seated in a
chair that was tilted back against the bouse, and
was whittling a piece of wood. As the procession
passed he said:
" '1 reckon ol' man Williams has got about
the biggest funeral that's ever been held around
liver, Caroline.'
"'A purty good-sired one, is it, Bud?' queried
the wife, making no effort to move.
'"Certainly is!' Bud answered.
" 'I surely would like to see it,' said the wom
an 'What a pity I ain't facin' that way!'"
Youth's Companion ,
By Victor lomnut.
ONE Oh' Omaha's pioneers. Lewis S. Reed, has
been revisiting the city where he was active
for more than a third oi a century. Since Mi
R.-ed retired Iruin business here, he put in most
oi his lime, up to the ..utbr.-.ik ..i llie war, in
Europe, making his headquarter m Paris, though
i..r a j.ar or So he has been over ill Chicago.
I unking m on us now he is struck, as is every
one, with the inar clous growth and phvsical
tr.insloiin.ilioii of Omaha. Mr. Heed, hiinsell. is
showing his age somewhat, as would be expected
in a man ne.tnng 70. and remarked upon my ac
cumulation oi gray hair, as if it did not rightfully
belong to me. then correcting himself quickly by
recalling my age. Mr. Reed has a wonderful mem
ory of names and places connected with early
Omaha happenings, but remembers my advent
more particularly because at that time he, along
with my father, were colleagues in the legislature,
representing Douglas county in the lower house in
which Lew Reed shone as "the baby member."
It is a sort oi coincidence, therefore, that I should
have been associated later with Mr. Reed in our
public library board, of which he was one of the
original members, and holds the record for long
continued service, up to the time he laid down
the duties of the position along with the presi
dency of the hoard.
I have often referred to my interest in the
library growing out of this association. In the
nature of things the board, as it was made up
when I went on it in 1894, could never be gotten
together again, because widely scattered, to say
nothing of those who have passed to the Great
Beyond. At my initial meeting, Mr. Reed called it
to order as presiding officer. The late William
Wallace was the vice president. Two other old
timers on the board were P. L. Perrine and Elijah
Dunn and my recollection, without verifying by
the records, is that Herbert T. Leavitt was secre
tary. There were two women members of the
hoard, Miss Elizabeth E. Poppleton, who re
linquished the work when she became Mrs. Shan
non, and Miss Claire Rustin, later Mrs. Mcintosh,
who continued a while longer. The two compara
tive newcomers were Frank L. Halter and my
self, I being appointed to succeed the late Will
iam S. Curtis, who was leaving Omaha to be
come dean of the law department of Washington
university at St. Louis, and who died only re
cently in Michigan. Miss Jessie Allan was still the
librarian in charge, although already grievously
afflicted with the dread disease which was soon to
take her away from the institution which she had
practically administered almost from its incep
tion. I am not sure that Lewis S. Reed was the in
spiration of the bequest to the city by his uncle,
Byron Reed, of the present library site, but 1
have no doubt he had much to do with it and be
is entitled to more credit than any other man for
the construction of our beautiful library building,
which, even today, holds its own well among all
the many new buildings, public and private, since
erected that help keep Omaha in the class of
modern, progressive cities.
While I am far from sure that he will like it,
I cannot refrain from giving some excerpts from
an interesting old legislative biography of Mr.
Reed that I have dug up. After noting his birth,
March 3, 1847, in Walworth county, Wisconsin,
and giving the names of his parents, we are told:
"Mr. Reed can properly be called a genuine
American, his father's ancestors having lived in
this country for two and a half centuries and
his mother's nearly, if not quite, as long. The
Reeds were originally from England. He is
from a long-lived family, each of his paternal
grandparents having lived past the alloted age
of three-score years and ten. One of his pater
nal grandfathers lived to the age of 91. and his
great-grandmother to the age of 80, their mar
ried life having lasted sixty-two years and one
day. Lewis is the oldest in a family of ten
children."
And then, after an account of his location in
Omaha, and his business and political activity,
the biographer continues:
"As a legislator he is among the most active
members; always in his seat and ready to per
form his part in rolling onward the gigantic car
of state. He makes a good appearance on the
floor and by many of the young ladies is called
the handsomest member of the house which
was a little too much for his modesty. The
only blemish apparent in his moral character is
that of "single blessedness,' but as he is yet a
young man there is time to offer an amendment.
More could be said of the 'youngest member,'
but this is enough to commend iiim to the no
tice of his constituents.''
Yes, it is hot in Omaha right now, but it is
not always, nor generally, hot here, and, there
fore. 1 protest against the wholesale indictment
brought by Hamlin Garland in the story he is
starting in the current week's Collier's. Describ
ing the westward journey of his heroine, Emily
Thatcher, he says:
"It was hot at Omaha it generally is and
Mrs. Thatcher, a fussy person of double-distilled
West Newton nicety, shuddered under
the dust, complained of the flies and glared at
the coal sheds and gas tanks, exclaiming,
'Could anything be worse?'"
My impression is that Hamlin Garland has
not stopped off in Omaha since our exposition,
now nearly twenty years ago, and he ought to
come again and note the improvement. Yes, it's
hot at Omaha sometimes, but not generally
and travelers can be as comfortable and well
taken care of here as in any interior town, sum
mer or winter, spring or fall.
People and Events
A California woman is leaving her husband
because he lacks conversational powers. He may
plead lack of practice.
A New York man says he can't work because
it makes him nervous. After reading his excuse

A St. Louis paper calls for an O. M. C. A.
an Old Man's Christian Association. All the
old fellows are in the Young Men's Christian as

It seems that, after all, the late Mr. Morgan
was worth only $78,149,024. Doubtless the stor

persons for nefarious purposes.
The king of Denmark presented mono
grammed cigarette cases to two boys who re

shakers.
The Long Island cornetist who received a
fractured head from a neighbor because he prac

congratulate himself that be was not addicted to
the slide trombone.
Last year 2,445,644 motor vehicles were li

one is trying to get to sleep at night it seems as
if all of them were driving up and down the street
in front of the house with their mufflers open.
Mrs. Pankhurst departed for Liverpool Satur
day "too tired to say a word" to the reporters, and
so quietly that few people knew of it. The im

with such concern may now relax their fears.
King Peter of Serbia, at 72, is up every morn

cycle on the rocky island of Euboea, in the
Aegean sea, where he is a virtual exile. The aged
monarch has not lost his optimism and expects to
see his country restored and the Allies victorious.
His activities and courage in the face of disaster
such as has overtaken Serbia challenge admiration.
