Democratic leaders' "shed ' copious crocodile
tears because republicans drafted a member of the
supreme court for their standard-bearer. Drag
ging the courts Into politics waa stigmatized as a
"gross assault on judicial' Impartiality" and "a
menace to American tastitntrons." Now the demo
crats of New York art drafting a Judge of tha
court of appeals. to run for governor, and the
tear-ducts fall to yield a drop. It makes s peat

the number of returners at 1,000.000. It la claimed
that thousanda of alien laborers have made small

"Labor and the New Wealth."
Defenders of the Wilson administration now
set up that labor has had its full share of the "new
wealth" created by the democrats in the last four
years. Labor has had its full share of what the
democrats in power have brought about but it
hasn't taken on the form of "new wealth." In
December of 1913, following the Seattle conven
tion of the American Federation of Labor, Samuel
Gompers addressed circular letter to all labor
organizations, urging them not to submit to a re
duction in wages as a means for bridging over the
severe industrial depression, then gathering force.
In November, 1914, the labor leaders in New York
ascribed the defeat of Martin Glynn, candidate for
governor, and Samuel Gompers, candidate-at-large
for the constitutional convention, on the demo
cratic ticket, to the fact that the unemployed laid
their condition at the door of the Wilson ad
ministration. ,
New York City never entertained so many
unemployed as during those two winters. Church
es were raided by homeless men, seeking shelter
from the storm; "Jeff" Davis, "king of the ho
boes," opened his famous "Hotel de Gink," where
thousands of wanderers were cared for. The state
law was Invoked to prevent tne employment of
alien laborers on public work, in order that the
natives might have s chance to earn something
to live on. Philadelphia, Chicago, Omaha, every
center of industry in the country, felt the pressure,
and none of them have forgotten it With 1915
came a flood of war orders, and enterprise re
sumed, but labor was forced to strike to gain any
share in the "new wealth" being created.' No year
of recent history had witnessed so many strikes as
were recorded in 1915, but 1916 has exceeded the
record. If labor has had any advantage in the
inflation of prices following the war boom, it
hasn't yet been detected outside the White House
circles. ,
The Monumental impudence of the democrats
In claiming to have brought prosperity to the
workers surpasses even their pretensions to econ
omy and business efficiency in administering the
affairs of the government
Nebraska Tax Levy for 1916.
The-Nebraska tax levy for 1916 has been made
by the State Board of Equalization and Assess
ment, and from-now on the public will be enter
tained by the democrats, making boast of the re
duction in assessment accomplished. Seven
tenths of s mill has been lopped off the general
fund levy, and this will be the basis for bragging.
It will be well for the voters to keep in mind
certain facta, '
' According to the summary of appropriations
ss exhibited by Stste Auditor Smith, the legisla
ture of 1915 set aside $8,856,887.44, as against
$8,143,038.85 appropriated by the legislature of
1913, an increase of $713,848.59, and s new record
for expenditures In Nebraska. .
... The total amount to be raised by direct taxa
tion under the 1915 levy was $3,277,130.08; under
the established levy for 1916 the total amount to
be raised will be $3,057,194.97, a decrease of $219,
935.11,i instead of ."almost a million," as was an
nounced from Lincoln. Of this decrease, $117,
513 has. already been paid from the 1915 collec
tions. This leaves the total net reduction but
$42,422.11. ,. .
No reduction In levy is made In any but the
general fund. 'Far university, .special university,'
norms! school and state bridge, aid the assessment
Is the same as it was last year, although the total
valuation of the state has been increased by
twenty millions, which will increase the collection
for those funds by just that much. '
But the general fund is compensated by the
increased Collections of fees. Auditor Smith re
ports a probability of these collections reaching
$450,000 for 1916; as a matter of fact for 1915 the
collections In the various offices turned over to
the general fund amounted' to $461,172.69, and it
la not. likely they will fall far below that total
this year,. This wilt bring the general fund up to
approximately $2,165,000, or $225,000 less than last
year,, but, of last year's geneial fund deficits
amounting to $355,000 were taken care of, which
will not have to be provided for this . year, which
really leaves the administration with $130,000 more
in the general fund for 1916 than it had to spend
in 1915. .
Just keep these figures before you when read
ing of how the present state administration haa
reduced taxation and saved money.

Ths Wixard of Industries.
A few years ago the development of the
telephone was deemed tha wonder of the time.
Equally astonishing was the expansion of indus
tries in the electrical field. People marveled for
the moment many hesitated, but finally embraced
both, creating a demand that overwhelmed sources
of production.- These constitute the industrial
romances of yesteryear. Today the wizard of in
dustries is the automobile.
Those who give more than passing thought to
the procession of cars speeding along popular
highways, or view the thousands daily parked
in city streets, rightly ask themselves how far can
we go in multiplying cars and avoid clogging
the highways. Already the traffic problem per
plexes every city and measures of safety taxes the
resources of municipal authorities. Yet the fact
remains that demand not only keeps up with pror
duction, but. this year promises to absorb the
largest output of cars in the brief history of the
automobile, . . . .
The federal cenaut bureau -recently reported
that 2,445,664 cars were registered In the United
States in 1916,' averaging one car to every forty
four of the population, ' The output of factories
for the first six months indicate s total production
of 1,500,008 cars for the year, almost double the
output of any previous year. ' Added to the cara
registered, the output' will bring the total of cars
owned in this country, close to 4,000,000, easily
representing an investment of $2,000,000,000. . . ,
- Not the least remarkable feature of thjs in
dustrial development is the jolt It gives the notion
that demand fixes the pries. Ten yeara najo few
cars could-be had under $2,000. F- yeara later
$1,000 was a 'minimum price. Today, there are
fourteen cars priced below $700. Moat of theae
years the demand equalled the supply, yet the
farsighted manufacturers. Ignoring the law of
supply and demand, reduced cost and improved
quality at the same time, winning financial success
through quantity, popularity,' servieability. '

Berlin estimates the toss of the allies at id,
000,000 men, of whom more .than 2,800,000' are
dead. A few days ago London put out a list of
German losses compiled from German casualty
lists, showing losses of 3,135,177 men In Germany
alone. - No lists of French, Austrian or Turkish
losses are published. The figures mutely testify
to the appalling havoc of war and the desolation
wrought among the people afflicted. '

monk finally ended the hard-fought game with

Lincoln, Aug. IB. To tha Editor of Tha
Bte: In view of the criticism of the actions
of tha Banking board in regard to tha
guaranty funds, of a liquidated bank, permit
ma to state my position. As I regard It, tha
only question In the renewal of the bualnesa
of the bank, is tha personnel of tha new
stockholders and the old, their financial re
sponsibility, tha possibilities of sueeess,
and of this tha Banking board was thor
oughly convinced.
In no way can X see where the guaranty
fund has been deprived of one legitimate
dollar, a far aa this bank Is concerned
Tha local newspaper critics speak of Mr.
Mullen la this transaction, but fail to apeak
of John J. , Sullivan, former chief justice of
the supreme court, who the stockholders had
employed also to appear before the Banking
board. It la impossible for the Banking
board to direct who they shall hire, or
whether It Is necessary to employ anyone,
any mora than It la possible for me to pre
vent attorneys who are in my office nearly
every day looking over matters pertaining
to men who are serving time in the peni
tentiary, bank charters, insurance matters,
tax matters, or any other business.
It would be much easier for mc, and, I
presume, for the other members of the
board to grant charters to everyone who
applied. The refusal to grant charters makes
enemies, the granting of then hakes friends.
My actions have been conscientious, and If
tha court should interpret tha law that all
ahoald have charters who apply, I would be
very glad to comply with their decision.
However, I have felt that the weak place
of tha law should be strengthened and used
my efforts when In tha state svenata, aa well
as recommending to both sessions of tha
legislature since being governor, soma added
legislation for tha direction of the Banking
board.
A bank badly managed, having tha pro
tection of a conservative and carefully man
aged bank, is claimed one of the weak places,
and yet the badly managed bank la some
times conducted in a way aa the Banking
board can hardly prevent It doing business.
They study the law, and, comply with tha
requirements of the guaranty fund law, and
then do ao many things outside of it that
there la a queston as to their good business.
The state of Oklahoma has had consider
able trouble with its guaranty law, and I
understand that many hundreds of thousands
of dollars of obligations are unpaid. My
only desire la to avoid the same conditions
that exist in Oklahoma.

8t Mary, Neb., Aug. II. To the Editor
of the Beet I note in The Bee an article by
a party signing himself "Nuntoo Sqweemiib."
aa follows :
"But tba waiter 1 Suffering Hoses 1 The
odor that permeated the air around about
him would bava proven hia fortune had ha
hut rented himself out to the South Side
packign house aa an advance agent."
"By the aweat of thy trow shalt thou eat
thy bread." That "Nuntoo 3." does not be
long to the class that eat their bread by
tha sweat of their brow Is self-evident,
because if ha did he could 111 afford to dina
with his friends at a leading hotel In Omaha.
"God created all men of one blood. Nev
ertheless "Nuntoo 8." assaila with ridicule
and condemns a waiter about something over
which he has no control, but which was so
ordained by tha Supreme Ruler of the Uni
verse, The dusky waiter, whose station In Ufa
is among the poor and humble, must meekly
submit to Insulting expressions of his finan
cial superiors. But the poor waiter has the
consolation that "Blessed are the meek, for
they shall Inherit tha kingdom of beaven,"
and, "He ralseth the needy from the dust
and llfteth tha poor from the dunghill, that
they may alt with princes and hold tha
throne of glory." :
So much for the poor. What consolation
have tha rich? "It shall be as easy for a
camel to pass through the eye of a needle
as for a rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaven. If "Nuntoo S." Is a member of
the rich, let us hope ha has not accumulated
hts wealth by God-accursed methods, and
that he does not belong to that class of
rich of which Job says, "They reap tha
field that Is not their own, and gather the
vintage of hia vineyard whom by violence
they have oppressed. They have violently
robbed the fatherless and stripped the poor
common people." Or Isaiah, "Woe unto
them that make wicked, laws, and when
they write they write Injustice. To oppress
the poor In judgment, and do. violence to
the cause of tha humble, my people, that
widows might be their prey and that they
might rob tha fatherlesa."
Would It not be more consistent for na
of the Anglo-Saxon race. In order to obtain
the grace of God, to get on our knees and
thank Our Heavenly Father for the blessing
of having been spared tha affliction that
must be borne by those of African birth,
and extend our sympathies, rather than to
