The market price of silver has made another spurt, but the quotation for an ounce of silver is still If .s than half that for a bushel of wheat, Remember how a certain statesman used to tell us that an ounce of silver and a bushel of wheat would always exchange at equal value? Though the Zeppelin hat' been put out of business as a military engine, it must be suscep tible of development as a useful transportation ' agency under favoring conditions. If only we had trani-Atlantie Zeppelin liners we might es cape submarines or go around the war tone. Events plainly show how baseless the hops of neutral Europe1 following the example of the United States in the submarine issue. In one way or another the small powers .are bound to the big four. Destiny makes their rulers the puppets of monarchial politics. In the present welter of blood for them safety lies in keeping out of the way, taking blows under protest and quietly thanking tne tates lor the privilegetof living. Greatest Show on Earth. In the heyday of his glory Phineas Barnum billed his business as "The, Greatest Show on Earth." ' None disputed his claim. Heirs ht had, bur the title lapsed for a time, remaining dor mant until the automobile gave it new life and befitting significance. If the shade of Barnum should return to the tcenes of his triumphs and view the round of automobile shows now moving by schedule through the country it is not to be , doubted the old laurels would be confirmed in Hat new holders. , Beginning at New, York and stretching from coast to coast the circuit of auto shows proceed! with ever-growing popularity. The round is little - more than begun. . Those already held, whether dignified as "salons" or designated "showt." em phasized the gripping pull of the automobile on the public. Attendance and orders alike exceeded former records and clearly points to another tsr- paaaing year of auto prosperity. Omaha it certain to hold the show pace of tattern cities, and the state maintain ita rank at third in number of cart to population. The licensee issued by the Hate already thow one ear to' every t fourteen persons. A higher ratio it probable. In truth the rush into automobile cir clet approaches a stage where those who openly resist the fever become objects of frVpdfr anlacj- woe or mcotcai aoeaooa. : ..... Loyalty of Organized Labor. Remembering the studied abstention of or ganized labor men from participating in the pre paredness and flag day parades of last year, It is gratifying in the present national crisis, though not at all surprising, to have prompt expressions of patriotic loyalty from the recognized spokes men of the laboring classes. Members of organized labor have generally taken a stand against to-called "militarism," but they have never been wanting in devotion to then country in time of trial. The ranks of labor, however, like the ranks of all other classes, contain exceptions and extrem ists whose unpatriotic declarations do not repre sent the great body of workers, The Western Laborer, printed here at an organ of onion senti ment, vigorously denounces and repudiates the resolutions spread broadcast out of Omaha, pur porting to come from a local branch of the social ist party, protesting against the president's action in breaking off diplomatic relations with Ger many and calling upon all loyal comrades "to refuse to bear arms in this infamous cause." "Such a sentiment issued in time of war," de clares the Laborer, "would be a plain case of treason," and in the same connection it says: "We believe the individual members of or ganized labor of Omaha are just as good citi zens, just as loyal to the government of our country, just as patriotic and just as capable of sacrifice for its perpetuity as any class of citizens anywhere in 'the country. There has been magnificent self-control on the part of the individual members of organized labor in this city in preserving strict neutrality, when one considers the memberships to be made up of men of all nations. "Each individual member of organized labor must be ready to do his bit tor his country. As Preside Gompers says: 'A country that is not worth fighting for is not worth anything.' "If the workingmen of Europe can fight as they are now doing, for what they have been J jetting, we ought to fight like a hundred mil ion buzz sawt for what we have) "There should be no sidestepping, no stut tering, no fault-finding, no begging the question. The members of organized labor are a part of the government of the Union of the United States, and there should be no .'scabbing' on the big, first Union." This it the kind of talk that rings true! This it the kind of talk that counts! This is the kind of talk that vindicates organized labor 1 Hit Highness, the Twelve-Do liar Hog. Here is patient merit at last come into its own, modest persistence rewarded, and the hum blest of the barnyard denizens lifted to the loftiest place in the arena. Forbidden once a human food, listed yet in some regions as the diet of unbe lievers, and condemned through the ages to the situation of an undesirable, the pig has grunted his way to the top as a food animal, if price alone it to gauge the right to the guerdon. His ascend ancy it in spite of prejudice as old as the human race; it has been accomplished in spite of. advice as earnest as ever was given, and over laws long laid down and still worthy of respect because of being both sane and sanitary. His swinish emi nence is a triumph for science, a blend of vegeta ble and animal breeding that has developed a dainty to which all mankind pays unctuous tribute, niorning, noon and night In whatever guise-he comes to the table nowadays, the pig is welcome; and out of that welcome, like others tne public delights to honor, he wrings a golden stream to reward those whose foresight atd enterprise have found expression in the droves now coming to market by the scores of thousands.. The man who eatt may groan and grin, but the man who raises will shout, hail his porcine majesty, the Twelve Dollar Hog. Home Conditions and Delinquency. In California some effort has been expended on a study of home conditions as a cause of juvenile delinquency. The announced result might have been anticipated. It has been discovered that most of the "bad" boys and girls come from neglected homes, and in analyzing the' result further it is found that various causes which com bine to produce poor home surroundings have a direct effect on the delinquency. This knowledge will be of little service, even in the laboratory, unless it be applied constructively to the greater use of how to curb those home conditions. Cali fornia has had another commission at work for several years at an equally serviceable research, that of a study of housing conditions in the state. It is found by this commission that the connec tion between poor housing and deficient "homes" is direct The remedy suggested is better hous ing for.tthe poorer classes. In Omaha last week an official report on some work along similar tines recalled discoveries made by Walter Besant.in the East End of London, after the County Council had set up its model tene ments. Besant found the hath tubs used by the occupants of the model tenements as coal bunk era. The Omaha investigation found the same condition. Habits of shiftlessness and slovenly ways are largely the same around the world. Nor is much difference in effect of such environment on children to be noted. The remedy for this fs readily suggested, but how to give it practical application is most diffi cult. Charity workers have ever found their more trying task in endeavoring to arouse the really submerged to an effort at self-help. Bad housing makes for brid homes', and produces juvenile de linquency as naturally as water runs down hill. The reformer who will devise means tS overcome the condition will be a genuine benefactor of the race. Gardening in Elementary City Sachools. i The United States bureau of education is en conragiag the movement to extend gardening among the elementary city schools. It is pre sented as a fact that "in or about almost any city may be found an abundance of land that may be used for productive gardening by the school children. Within the limits of many cities there is sufficient land, if intensively cultivated, to supply the people with all the vegetables and a large proportion of the fruits and flowers needed." In this is nothing new except that it is recognized by the school authorities as a possible offset to demoralizing conditiona now complained of. Gar dening will take the place of mischief that comes with hours of idleness, may be a solution for the child labor problem, and surely will aid in the cost of living. Omaha has carried on for several seasons, under direction of a devoted committee, successful competition for the school boys and girl in gardening. The campaign with profit may be extended until it becomes a real factor "in the juvenile life of the city, rather than a fad pursued by a few. Gardening, properly directed, not only provides wholesome and instructive occupation for the youngsters, but gives returns in which all ' W Tltrtar KaMMraMr NO FURTHER word has come fotlowmg the report a week ago that "Captam Jack Crawford, 'the poet scout." was dying at hts home in Woodhaven, N. Y, and as no news is good news, we may hope he will yet recover. Captain Jack" was one of the original Bee men, having been t part of the working force of this paper in the years of its infancy. I see that Al Sorenson refers to him as "a sort of roustabout or handy man" when he was the city editor, which, how ever, was too long ago for me to remember bacK. Sorenson also tells about "Captain Jack" want ing to go out in the Black Hills as a scout and as a newspaper correspondent during the Indian campaign waged in 1876 by General Crook, and about raising a subscription fund to start him off wth a repeating rifle, pair of revolvers, with holsters and a saddle and that his services as a scont were accepted so that he became chief ot scoots with General Cnster at the time of the massacre by Sitting Bull's Indians and that he sent the first dispatches bnt th ,0 the New York Herald and The Bee. My per sonal acquaintance with "Captain Jack naturally Bates much later and it is some years now since I have seen him, although I have heard from him occasionally at infrequent intervals. His full name is John Wallace Crawford. He was a striking figure of the border plainsman type. No one had to be told that he was an Irishman by birth, for he carried the racial features with him and gave hint of Ireland in his voice which, how ever, was dear and musical and in use came to good advantage when he took to the lecture plat form and became a Chautauqua entertainer with recital of his own poems of pathos and senti ment as his chief power of attraction. The last letter I had from "Captain Jack" came only a few weeks ago enclosing his latest verses entitled "Let Us Have Peace, with the pencilled notation on them: "Dear Victor: lhis is timely. In memory of your plucky little daddy, for whom I licked a big buck negro when you were 'in knee pants." The poetry is even more timely right now than it was when I received it, so I give it here in full: "Let us have peace," our chieftain said, "Let us have peace," said Lee. Thank God today the Blue and Gray Are prosperout and free. For freedom from a senseless war Our grateful thanks we give To Him who holds the gates ajar; For those who love and live. In harmony with righteousness As taugbt in nature's school; , And if today we will obey One law, the Golden Rule, Our dear beloved land will be The land of victories won, Beloved land of Lincoln, Lee, And Father Washington. Almighty grand exalted who Notes e'en the sparrow's fall. May we not pledge ourselves anew To answer duty's call? And in the coming Yuletide joy, O, may Thy hand be seen. That war may cease, the world at peace, In nineteen seventeen. Talking to a member of the grand jury, I asked how long they expected to be in session, or rather, when he thought they would adjourn, and the answer was, "I don't know. For myself, I would like to quit right now, bnt I fear there are some on th jury for whom the job and the pay are not unwelcome and who are in no haste to stop." Whereupon, I related an experience of my own when I encountered my first term of jury service. Right at the jump-off, I was caught on a criminal case that kept us out three days and two niffhts in custody or locked up all the time. The munificence of the county allowed us mat tresses to put on the floor of the jury room and furnished us with meals at the old Colonnade hotel at Fifteenth and Jackson streets. I think to the regular boarder these 'meals cost as much as 25 cents each and we were not given more than 25 cents worth of food. . When our continuous disputing and wrangling seemed interminable, in the hope of breaking the deadlock. I made this ap peal: "What's the mattec with getting together and agreeing on some kind of a verdict? Why not get through with this and go hosne andclran up and get something fit to eat?" , "Oh, pshaw I" retorted one of my fellow jur ors, "I'm in no hurry. I'm drawing $2 a day and I'm being fed better than I am to home." If one thing more than another forces a per son to realize how Omaha's business area is spreading, it is to be crowded out of a house occu pied as a permanent home. I was born in a cottage right where the Bee building stands, from which our family was compelled by pressure of business to remove to a location on Harney street opposite the public library, long since cov ered with a business block. After that, we lived for a stretch of years on Douglas above Seven teeth, where "the Brandeis theater hnilding today looms. Twelve years ago I erected a house at Thirty-fifth Avenue and Farnam. convinced that it was in the heart of the residence section, and now they are preparing to lay the foundations of a row of stores right across the street ' The Wall Street Gamble -Brooklyn Eafftv Regardless of where the new turn in the "leak" investigation may lead, or what may develop as a result of the testimony of Bernard M. Baruch, this Wall street operator's story must stand as a revelation to a large part of the country. Every one knows that "easy money" is the spirit of Wall street, and that fortunes are made and tost there, but no one has told in more direct fashion than Mr. Baruch just how it is'done. Unless Mr. Baruch deceived the investigators, he wrung nearly half a million dollars out of the market in a couple of weeks without depending upon inside information. His frank admission of his immense profits was only equaled by his very plausible explanation of his mental processes dur ing the eventful fortnight. He played the game. He was gambling all the (irae, but he was not dependent on luck. He used his head and events vindicated his judgment. Baruch called the German chancellor's peace proposal the "back-log of peace." He was ex pecting a break in the market, and he realized that the signal had come from Berlin. When Lloyd George left the door to peace open, he con sidered that another log had been thrown on the fire. The president's address added fuel to the fire. The market fluctuated, bnt Baruch played it, skilfully, always keeping in mind the thought that peace is coming, regardless of the interven ing developments. If Mr. Baruch had a "tip" from the inside, he improved upon his infor mation. There is a feeling, however, that Mr. Baruch ma'y "have been just a little too frank. The in vestigators and the nblic mav have been con vinced that he knew nothing of a leak, but what about the impression created bv the cool re cital of how a man made half a million 'dollars in a few days, merely by gambling in stocks? If this does not lead to a general demand for an in vestigation the Street is safe. Can a congress that proposes to tax excess profits pass such an opportunity. Mr. Baruch's story is enough to make even munitions makers turn green with envy. John Jacob Astor, Junior..

Tn all the six long years of her life she had never spent such a miserable day. Cir cumstances at last grew too strong for her, and she cried. She was one of those who do not often cry, but who, when they do, make no secret of it. In short, Phoebe nearly lifted the nursery celling off. Upstairs came Phoebe's mbther, already dressed in her . smartest clothes ready to have tea with a friend. Why, what's the matter, Phoebe?" she asked. Phoebe, standing hopelessly In the middle of the nursery, only howled the louder, and refused to see any thing cheerful about life. Lifting the unhappy child up In her arms and ruddling the tearstalned little face acalnat her own, the mother walked over to the looking-glass. . "Juft look, Phoebe, at that ugly little face in the looking-glass!" Phoebe Immediately became ' inter ested and stopped crying. "Which one, mother?" she asked. Pearson's Weekly. HERE AND THERE.
