RED CROSS TEAMS
ARE ALL HUSTLING
All Omaha to Be Given an Op
portunity to Help the
Local Sed Cross
Fund.
Only one RcdCross slacker was dis
covered by the soliciting teams, ac
cording to the report given at the
luncheon of the committee this noon
in the Fontenelle ball room.
Owing to a confusion of reports of
the amounts pledged, the figures are
misleading and will not be made
known until Wednesday. ,
Members ( f teams complained that
the subscription cards were not dis
tributed equally and according to the
financial standing of the business
firms. Chairman Wattles announced
that because of this titer? would be
no competition between the teams,
and that it was unnecessary in a big
humanitarian campaign of this kind.
The United States government de
mands a uniform accounting Gyitem
and all pledges must be in writing.
A a number of captains did not
knowMhis and included in their re
ports money which was donated ver
bally, the accounts will be audited
and reported tomorrow.
Teams Are Hustling.
The ten hustling Red Cross teams
are waking Omaha citizens up to the
fact that one of the greatest battles
of the "liberty" war Is being fought
in the United States this week, and
that Omaha must do all in its power
to make it a decisive one.
Everywhere the soliciting commit
tee and ten captains are met with
the spirit that the Red Cross nivst
be arrayed with fuqds and resources
Without limitation, and sufficient to
discourage the war lords of Europe.
The feeling of the public in general
mar shown by quoting one re
mark i :adc by a business man when
the team entered his office. He had
a check for $500 made out to the Red
Cross and said, "if you need more
come back and get another one just
like it." t
Challenge to Gotham.
Chairman Wattles received a wire
from Seward Proster, chairman of.
the executive committee, to the effect
that Washington challenged New
York City to rajse more money than
all the other cities in the United
States combined. The challenge was
accepted. In reply toNa wire concern
ing Omaha's activities, Mr. Wattles
i replied that the city was well started
and bad raised $110,000.
I A wire was sent t the presidents
of the Union Pacific, Northwestern,
Illinois Central, Milwaukee, Great
Western, Wabash,' Missouri Pacific
and Rock Island railroads as well as
to Armour te Co., Swift & Co., Cud
ahy Packing company. Morris & Co.
and the American Smelting and Re
fining company soliciting a portion of
their Red Cross war fund. If these
great corporations 'comply Omaha's
fund wilt be vastly increased.
Mr. Wattles addressed a meeting
, of the members of the Grain ex
change at 11 o'clock to explain the
Red Cross drive and ask for sub
scriptions. Later he met with the
street railro-d board of directors to
determine the subscription of the
company. He conferred also with
the Nebraska Telephone company of
ficials foe thE same purpose.
South Side Boy Scouts will meet
this evening at the Young Men's
Christian association hall at 8 o'clock
sharp. Scout Executive English an
nounced that matters of great impor
tance, will come efore the meeting
and a full attendance is desired. Two
or three short talks will be given
and two surprises are promised.
Twenty-seven insurance solicitors
were volunteered by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company to assist in
the Red Cross campaign.
Richard L. Metcalfe, publisher of
tlic Omaha Xebraskan, gave one full
naee of advertising for the Ked t,ross
Kobert Lowell, captain 01 team no.

of his' duties on the State Board of
Arbitration. David Cole filled the
vacancy.
Cash Wheat Takes Tumble
Of Twenty Cents in Omaha
The decline in cash wheat prices
yesterday was as sensational as the ad
vance of several weeks ago. This
cereal dropped 20 cents a bushel from
the high mark of Monday, selling at
$J.48(2.61. Receipts were fourteen
carloads.
The wheat market was quiet. Hold
ers were not inclined to let go at the
prices offered. The decline is due to
two causes, it is said. Reports from
the south indicates a bumper wheat
crop in Oklahoma, southern Kansas
and in the irrigated district. It also
is said that the possibility of the
government exercising control over
the food supplies of the country. Is
having a bearish effect on the mar
ket.
Corn receipts were fair, seventy
three carloads. Prices were
of a cent off, the cereal selling at
$1.64(3,1.65 a bushel.
There were eighteen carloads ot
oats on the market, but no sales were
made.

YE EDITOR GIVES
AH AIROF WISDOM
City Takes On New Atmos
phere When Pencil Push
ers from the State
Appear Here.
By A. R. CROH.
The editors are here this week, peo
ple. That is what lends this atmos
phere of extraordinary wisdom to
our fair city. From all over Nebraska
and neighboring states they have
come for their annual meeting.
The lawyer addresses his jury, the
preacher his congregation, but the
editor addresses his thousands or his
millions every day.
The "power of the press" is no
mere pleasant alliteration. Napoleon
said. "Four hostile newspapers are
more to be feared than a thousand
bavonets."
"The press," said Holmes, "is the
exclusive literature of the masses. To
the millions it is literature, church
and college."
There are more than ouu news
papers in Nebraska. Think of the
tremendous power of these papers.
No other profession even approaches
the editorial in the power that it
wields. The American press is the
free press of a free people. For only
where the press is free are the peo
ple free.
At this -present time there is in
this country an editor who, next to
Lloyd George is England's most
powerful man. Lord Northdiffe is
editor and owner of the London
Times, the world's greatest news
paper. It began to be a great paper
in the days of Napoleon. Even in
those days it built up a news service
so proficient that it printed the news
of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar be
fore the British government had its
official report. It "scooped" the gov
ernment again on the news of VVell
ington's victory at Waterloo. Of
course, this was long before the days
of the telegraph.
A hundred years ago the Times
had '5,000 circulation and sold at 14
cents a copy. Even as early as 1861
it printed 105 columns of advertising
in a single issue.
The editors of the Times have been
the intimate friends of premiers and
kings. They have wielded greater
powers than England's cabinet mem
bers. The editors of papers in this coun
try are the intimate friends of sen
ators, congressmen and governors.
Into the editorial sanctum comes the
popular political idol and, laying aside
his platform manner, he humbly seeks
the support of the quiet man without
whom he knows he is powerless. In
the editorial sanctum the great man
is just himself. For editors have a
gift of seeing through any artificial
personal veneer. Newspapers can
make and break statesmen. Suppose
all the papers would ignore some
candidate tor office, how far do you
think that candidate would get?
Eyes in Every Scene.
The London Times' news-gathering
facilities are older but not greater
than those of the Associated Press in
this country. The AssociatedyFress
has eyes and ears in every scene of
human activity. So many and so
perfect arc these eyes and ears that
you read this evening of the things
that happened in the uttermost parts
of the world this morning and early
afternoon.
Editors and former editors sit in
the cabinets of several of the earth's
greatest nations. An editor and an
ex-editor are in President Wilson's
cabinet. The lietuenant-governor of
Nebraska, one of our United States
senators and one congressman are
editors, f
When the peace conference in the
great war comes, it is admitted that
Lord Northdiffe and the Times will
have more influence than any other
individual or institution.
You see, you should take off your
hat when you meet an editor.
Campfire Girls Assemble
