Henry, the noted thort-ttory teller, it revealed by hit biographer. A priton term shadowed hit youthful daya, due to a bank defalcation ariting from hit carelessness at teller and too much faith in friend! having access to his desk. The revelation it of little consequence and serves no good end. Admirers rightly judge him by hit works. The shortcomings of youth are Overshad owed by the fact that he made good. After the War. ' ferns B. Miss , I'mtl'sssaana) fern IIHmIl ' Mr. Wilson has not kept us out of war. He has not got u into the European war. Possibly he might have done so. Our country has not uanted war, but if we are wise we will prepare for the end of the war in Europe. We wilfbe the wealthy nation of the world. The Europeans will want our wealth. We ought to prepare for effec tive defentc by building up a sufficient navy and constructing sufficient coast fortifications and should provide a good army organization. "Mr. Hughe! and the republicans are in favdr of doing this. Mr. Wilson and the democrats haw no intention of doing it. We should have a foreign policy which protects American citizens and American rights abroad. No nation can af ford to go to war with us at this time if we assert our reasonable rightt. Our trade, our mailt and our citizent ought not be unduly interfered with. Mr. Hughet. if elected, will assert and preserve these rights without war and without difficulty. President Wilson has proved that he will not. 'When the European- war ends there will be a determined effort in Europe to manufacture and send to America goods in large quantities in order . to get back the gold which they have been send ing over here and to cancel their indebtedness to us. Unless we have a reasonable protective tariff the result of this effort on he part of the Euro pean people will be to close our factories and throw many people out of employment. "Mr. Hughes and the republicans are in favor of a reasonable protective atriff. Mr. Wilton and the democrats are opposed to any tariff protec tion. If Mr, Hughes is elected we will have a straightforward foreign policy, preserving the rights and lives of Americans without involving us in foreign complications. If Mr. Wilson is re elected we will have continued the same shifting, uncertain, wobbling, contradictory, weak, vacillat ing foreign policy which we have suffered from during the last few years. These are sufficient reasons, in my opinion, for the support and election of Mr Hughes, though there are many, many others." Our Fifty Per Cent (Alm.st) Senator. Delayed, but still in time, we have the com pilation of important roll calls of the last session of the Up i ted States senate, tabulated by Collier's Weekly, which gives the records of the different senators together with their "not voting" rating. It is explained that there were some two hun dred and forty record votes, out of which our democratic lenator, Mr. Hitchcock, is in the "not voting" column one hundred and twenty-one times. That means that he has been, for us a 50 per cent (almost) senator. , If the explanation is offered for him that he was "not voting" only on minor matters we mayl ask: Why did he not answer to roll call on the army appropriation bill and so many . of the amendments offered thereto to perfect our pre paredness program? Why did he not answer ofi the naval appropriation bill and its amendments. alo a part of the preparedness program? Why did he not answer on the motion to stop the free seed graft?- Why did.he not answer on the civil service provision of the rural credits bill? Why did he not answer on the sugar tariff? Why did le not answer on the Norris and Cummings amendments to the Shields water power bill and on the pasasge of the bill? Why did he not an swer on the five vital amendments to the new revenue law and on so many others, likewise im- pcront? , , If the excuse is offered that Senator Hitchcock was so busy in the committee rooms that he could not hear the electric bell summoning him to roll call, how ii it that other democratic senators, with more exacting committee assignments, avoided being marked "not voting" so often? For ex ample, Senator Bankhead, "not voting" only nine teen timea; Senator John Sharp Williams, "not voting" only thirty-three timet; Senator Thomas, not voting only sixty-seven times; Senator Ollie James, "not voting" pnly eight-five times; Sefiator Stone, "not voting" on)y eighty times- alt as against Senator Hitchcock not votings one hundred and twenty-one timea? Is Nebraska not entitled to something better than a 50 per cent (almost) senator? , Hughes' 'Instinct of Efficiency' "Mr. Hughet hat shown in hit career the instinct of efficiency which will guarantee that, under him, the government will once more work with vigor and force." Theodore Roosevelt. Taft Lauds Huhges' Courage "Mr. Hughes it a man whose convictions have always been the guide of hia action. I say what the people of the United States know when I aay that the chief characteristic of Mr. Hughes ia the courage of his conviction! in meeting the embarrassment of political op position." Ex-President Taft. Man of Strong Character "I believe in the (character and courage of the. nominee, of the republican party. He it the mott conspicuous example in our history of the possibilities that American politics may hold for success In able and unselfish public service." Raymond Robina. What Dr. Wiley Says "'I favor the election of Mr. Hughes because of the apparent indifference of the administra tion of President Wilson to the cause of pure food and drug!. Practically all the abuses which were injected into the pure food law by the preceding administration still are in force." Dr. Harvey W. Wiley (Democrat). His Home County Should Back Fawcett. White there are a dozen good reasons why Judge Fawcett should have the support of citi eni generally for chief juitice on the non-partisan judicial ballot, at against his opponent, there are special reatont why thit, hit home county, should back Fawectt. ' Judge Fawcett served as a union soldier. For years he practiced law here. He sat upon our district' bench and was supreme court commis sioner before he became a supreme judge, and in each case with creditable record. He is now the only member of the supreme court' from Douglas county and if defeated thit county", with its one- eighth of the state's population, anjl its vast com mercial, financial and civic interests, will have no one there with direct personal knowledge of the problems of a metropolis. Judge Fawcett was recommended for chief justice, when the vacancy last occurred, by all his colleagues on the bench and this recommendation alone should be accepted, Dow for popular endorse ment. 1 Pioneer Friend of Labor "The first American executives to establish workingmen't compensation and to atimulate the 'Safety First' movement for the protection of the lives and limbs of the worker! were Roosevelt and Hughet." John Williams, Commissioner of Labor of New York state, under Governor Hughet. Record of Patriotic Devotion i "Hit public career, aa well ai his public statement!, give the assurance that hia de cisions aa president will be based on cool deliberation, courage and unquestioned 'de votion to the country's Interest!." Herbert S. Hadley, forme governor of Missouri. Importance of the Aerial Army Station. Omahant recall with much regret the removal of the training school of the army signal corps front port Omaha, where it was to well estab lished, and where so much motley had been v. nended on Its enuinment. Thia t-.vr.f k:i.... the interest felt in the prospect for the re-eatab- lishment here of a training school for the aerial corps of the new armv. the Order for Which ha. been issued, but is being held up by the secretary ot war. I he army appropriation btll passed by the late congress earned an item of $13,881,666 for army aviation, and this ia now beinsr exnenrled on the purpose for which it ii intended. Orders are being placed for, flying machines of approved types, for balloons suitable for army uses, and for other forms of, equipment for the uses of the corps. Schools are being fitted for training the officer! and men who must have the exnert knowledge required for" the service. The ad vantages of Umaha, which led to the location of the first of these training schools hern .;ii known to the army staff, and thii easily led to the order to reopen the training school at Fort Omaha, where the big balloon house, the hangars, the gas generating slant and all the other hlM. ings are stilt waiting use.

It also enhances the local indignation fett at the thought that petty politics ia allowed to interfere with the progress of the work of rehabilitating our little army. . White Home Politics at She It Played. The fascinating came of nolitin Im. ,,, angles and none of them are being overlooked by the present occupants of the White Hm,e Fn, one method of making political capital no one else ever thought ot, witness this interesting Wash ington item in the anniversary numher nf that sprightly society journal known as Town Topics: t At trie White House the public may now roam at will in many part! from which it has been usually excluded.

The president's study and hit large collection of books, mostly on political history and constitutional subjects, are eyed with keen interest, and a peep into the gold and pink uuuuuir oi ln nrsi iaay is worth a trip to Washington. There you hive it for. of course "l..H;n politicians" means "democratic politicians." If you have a card countersigned with the right name you will be soeciatlv nriviletred ih ,k. common herd to take a look at Mrs. Wilson's bed room, and the presumption is that for Nebraska the autograph needed is that of . Arthur Mn.n the chosen democratic "boss" and special adminis tration spokesman. Beveridge's Tribute to Hughes "It it vital to our welfare that our president should be clear in thought, plain in speech, sound in judgment, firm in decision and so trustworthy that he inspires personal con fidence even In those who do not agree with his policies. It is because J. know that he fulfils every one of these requirements that I am doing what I can and all I can to help elect to the presidency Charles Evans Hughes." Albert J. Beveridge. , 1 A Progressive' s Indorsement "As a progressive I believe in nationalism. So doei Hughes. I am certain that under Hughes the progrestive policiet will fare better than under Wilson, and that the aafety, honor and welfare of the country 'will be in immeasurably surer hands." Gifford Pinchot. Despite the absorbing; influence nf th. paign, occasionally a man it found so remote from the turmoil as to excite public curiosity, While bands were blaring, boys shouting and forums trembling with the force oT sledge hammer argu ments, a Philadelphia Drofeasnr aud deciphered a Babylonian letter of 2300 B. C no douht the protestor knew, that Pennsylvania is safe and turned to regular business. No one even contends that the rl.mnr.t;. legislative candidates in this county anywhere approach the republican lea-istative ticket ; of ability, respectability or reliability. If Doug las county wants its interests looked after satis factorily at Lincoln next winter, the voters will send a republican delegation down there tc, rfn the job. i Practical Friend of the Farmer "His support of many wise measures and his carefully worked out agricultural educa tional plan show that Mr. Hughes had at heart the permanent benefit of agriculture when he was the chief executive of the state." Charles S. Wilson, Commissioner of Agriculture, New York state. People and Events Three judges sitting in the court of special ses sions, New York City, held Miss Jessie Ashley and two men guilty of violating the penal code for distributing and selling literature on the sub ject of birth control. Miss Ashley is a leader in this so-called reform. She was let off with a fine because she merely distributed the tracts, but the men who profited by the sale won a jail term. The daily flood of dime silk petticoats let ters passed the 100,000 mark at the Minneapolis postoffice and is growing at the rate of 25 per cent a day. Last Saturday's inpouring carried the total up to 700,000 letters. No one knows when it will end. One woman victim sought to console the perplexed postmaster by urging him to add a nickel to her dime and take a cocktail. The noted library of James Carleton Young of Minneapolis, said to be the finest collection of inscribed books in the world, 2,414 volumes in all, are being shipped to New York, where they will be sold at auction this month. Some years ago Mr. Young sought to present the collection to the Congressional library, but some obstacles ? invented. Advancing age and inability to care or the books prompted the present course. Fuel prices in Greater New York are mount ing by leaps and bounds. Hard coal is retailing in some parts of Manhattan at $12 a ton and in Brooklyn at $9. Predictions of $20 a ton for mid winter are made by some dealers, and the pros pect of a big squeeze increase daily. The cause is spread over car shortage, reduced stocks and scarcity of help. The percentage of manipulation is not mentioned. In sifting a bankruptcy case in Chicago Judge Landis stumbled on a loan agent creditor, part of a system conducted in various cities, the chief owner being a resident of Delaware Water Gap, Pa. "He is a church member?" asked the judge of the local agent. "Yes, sir," replied the witness. "Nearly all vou men are active church members," commented the judge, fhe net profits of the system runs around 30 per cent. Charles Taze fiussett. commonly known as "Pastor" Russell, whose sudden death on a train in the southwest is announced, was a Pittsburgh product, an independent booster of righteousness beyond sect control. His influence was extensive, because his sermonettes were syndicated through many newspapers. He was also producer of "miracle wheat," which he sold as seed at $1 a pound. The Brooklyn Eagle ex posed the Pastor Russell game and proved in court that "miracle wheat" was Just plain wheat, and much inferior to seed wheat in grain mar kets. - ., l-psttL aaSL Thonght Nugget for the Day.

Nothing But a Question-Mark. -York, Neb., Nov. 4. To the Editor of The Bee: How can we find out the real reason for our Mexican farce? We were told that the move was not war, but Just to catch Villa. It was said at the time that we were given permission to cross the border lor mat one purpose only. Now we have nearly our entire army and the most of the National Guard down there and for what, if we are in peace with Mexico? Is there any real effort being made to do the Job and get out, according to our part of the con tract. If not, why not? Or is it just to prove how helpless we are, thfit we have not enough of "prepardness" to go get one enemy, to give strength and votes to "My Policy of Peace and Preparedness?" Why not take the move In another light as an example of what this administration would be able to do with Its preparedness if we should have real war with a first class power?

To the Editor of The Bee: The men and women back ing the so-called citizens' ticket of eignt men for the school board, and especially Matthew V Hall, are call ing the other eleven good men who are candidates for the Board of Edu cation "Self-seekers." . Four years ago I was nominated by voters writing my name in on the ticket. I did not know that I was thought of, until I saw by the papers that I was nominated. I did not spend a cent, nor ask any one to vote for me, yet I was elected. I have served four years, and have paid close attention to the matters that come be fore the board, doing what I thought was right in each case. 1 did not file this time for re-election. My friends circulated the peti tion and filed my name. I had In tended to do as I did four years ago mat is, say nothing about my candi dacy, but to let the masses of our people, the real citizens select eight men out of the nineteen names on the ticket and be satisfied with the result. But when the self-appointed commit tee came out with the "slate," ignor ing the three experienced members of the board, Dr. E. Holovtchiner, W. A. Foster, and myself, I felt the Insult keenly and made up my mind to fight, and the only way I know to fight, in case oi mis Kina, is to nave a few cards printed to pass to my friends so they will know I am a candidate. This i nave done and nave paid the printer.
