Modern Industrial Leadership.
The h'ead of a big packing company, testify
ing in a wage inquiry at Chicago, admitted he
knew very little of the wages paid or condi
tions of employment in his plant,' nor of the
r manner of life his employees live. He did know
i, that his company paid out in round numbers

While it is true that many have not yet
reached the full realization of their responsi

item of labor turnover has been inquired into,
T!and discovered to be one of the great elements
t of manufacturing cost. How to reduce it has
r.;been the object o careful study, to the end

" satisfied " employee is' good investment. For
; each employee is an investment, and , a source

CUn efficient producer. It is also known that
the question of wages and hours are not the'finally

primarily they are. Treatment of workmen

First-Paper Voting in Nebraska.
Nebraska has recently been receiving consid
erable undeserved censure in eastern publications
because we, along with some half a dozen other
states, permit foreign-born citizens who have
not completed naturalization under our consti
tution to vote and hold office and enjoy all the
privileges of other citizens.
While The Bee fully agrees that the time has
come when all the requirements for United
States citizenship should be exacted of all citi
zens before participation in state and local gov
ernment, yet no odium or discredit can attach
to Nebraska for our liberal voting franchise with
anyone who understands its origin and purpose.
First and foremost, let it be remembered that
Nebraska was admitted to the union in 1867
under a constitution which contained this pro
vision, which constitution was revised in 1875
without changing the suffrage clause. At that
time Nebraska was a sparsely settled country
and the main object of the people already here
was jto persuade newcomers to join them and
makeheir homes in Nebraska. The immigration
of that day from European countries was of the
most desirable class in fact, largely furnished
the element which has made Nebraska the pros
perous commonwealth it is today and among
other inducements held out in the invitation to
come west and help develop this land of oppor
tunity was the offer to take them in on equal
terms after a six morfths' residence and a dec
laration of intention to become citizens of the
United States.
As a matter of fact, in all the fifty years of
Nebraska's history the foreigri-born voters, tech
nically still aliens, have never constituted a seri
ous menace or danger to the stability of our
government or institutions, but, on the con
trary, have been of inestimable assistance in beat
ing off successive waves of fanaticism and radi
calism in the greenback movement, the free sil
ver craze and all the other repudiation schemes.
When it comes to the menace of alien suf
frage the first-paper voters in Nebraska are cer
tainly subject far less to objection than a cer
tain clement of voters in some of the states where
our mbstsevere critics are located. We refer
to the suffrage states, including New York. Un
der the law'.as it stands a woman takes the
citizenship ' of iier husband by the mere formal
ity of her maffiage, so that in these states a
foreign-born woman who marries an American
citizen becomes a voter over night without going
through any of the procedure of naturalization,
be she as ignorapt of our language and institu
tions and as hostile to our form of government
as she may. We are not raising this point by
way of condemnation, but to suggest that the
whole question of citizenship and franchise calls
for thorough ' examination and revision, not
merely in Nebraska, but in every state in the
union. '
We repeat that for Nebraska we believe first
paper voting should cease, but in1 'redefining our
citizenship .qualification! let us do the job in a
way that does not open the door to similar or
worse dangers or abuses.
Civilization and the Automobile.
Omaha is about to attend its thirteenth an
nual Automobile Show. That the number fs
so small, in a city which has been a recognized
center of the trade since the beginning, is an im
pressive fact itself. ,
It tells the youth of the industry, but nothing
of its giant proportions and continuous growth.
Only a few figures are needed to convince one
of the wonderful strides the automobile has
made as a factor ,in our civilization. , For the
year ending. June 30, 1908, ten years ago, the
total output of machines in America was 60,000;
for the year ending June 30, 1917, the total was
1,800,000. In other words, from 200 a day the
output had risen o 6,000. The amount of capi
tal required to produce and distribute this volume
of work amounts to billions. Manufacturers
alone have invested $736,000,000, with a payroll
amounting to $288,00(J,000. Engaged in the in
dustry in one way or another are more than 900,
000 people. , (
It would be impossible that such an industry
could develop in so short a time withbu its hav
ing a direct effect on the life of the people. No
one can estimate yet what this effect is; it is
admitted that the uses for which the machine is
adapted are far from being all catalogued; new
services are daily being found, and old ones be
ing so extended as to seem new, until we ap
parently have just begun to understand what an
instrument of progress it is. More than 4,100,
000 machines were registered in the United States
in 1917, or one for each twenty-five persons in the
country. This indicates the universality of its
distribution. While many factories are giving
up their machinery to the production of war ma
terial, thus curtailing to some extent the produc
tion of automobiles, the industry may be looked
upon as expanding in all directions.
To get a concrete notion of the importance
of the automobile trade to Omaha, scan the ad
vertising sections of The Bee today. : More elo
quent evidence could not be presented. The auto
mobile eminently deserves its distinction, not only
for services already rendered mankind, but' for
the undeveloped possibilities of. its future. .
Views, Reviews and Interviews
Compensations for Observers in Walking Up
the Washington Monument
Never mind the first robin; just watch the
tag on the shovel, and spring will come in time.
The proclamation of "lift-less" days for
the Washington monument as part of the
coal conservation program with notice that
visitors on those days will be debarred from
the benefits of elevator service reminds me
that my first ascent to the top of that historic
shaft was by foot power and that I have
climbed the stairs to the top several times.
If my memory is correct, I undertook an ex
pedition across the waste space that then
surrounded the base of the monument in
company with Ad Townsend, a chum of
Omaha High school days, only to arrive at
just the moment when the elevator had shut
down for the noon. hour. It was a choice
of walk or wait or come another day and
without reluctance or hesitation we promptly
decided to walk. It is a good stiff climb,
round and round the interior walls, though
the steps are broad and easy and the landings
inviting stops to rest plentiful. The space
was damp and dim except at the points of
illumination, but still you can see from inside
better than from outside the difference in
construction periods and the line that marks
the point where the building ceased for
nearly 25 years for lack of money after the
stone had gone up about 150 feet. There is
another advantage of using the stairs in
stead of the elevator, although offered as
well with6ut the same fatigue coming down
as going up, and that is the opportunity to in
spect the artistic designs and inscriptions of
the testimonial blocks of marble or granite
contributed in honor of the immortal Wash
ington by foreign countries, different states
of our own union and various Masonic and
other societies. I could not enumerate
them from memory, but an article in a cur
rent magazine lists as among them "a
stone from Braddock's field, one from the
battlefield of Long Island, one from the
Alexandrian library in Egypt, one from the
tomb of Napoleon at St. Helena, a mosaic
block from the ruins of Carthage, lava from
Vesuvius, and stones from Jerusalem and
Mecca, besides blocks contributed by 40
states, 16 cities and towns, and 44 societies
and 10 foreign countries, all suitably in
scribed to testify to their regard." The view
from the top of the monument, 555 feet from
base to apex, is magnificent in clear weather
and will well repay the ascent climbing the
stairs if necessary, but preferably going up
the elevator and walking down.
"Gallipoli," by John Masefield, famous
British poet and author, may be a great book,
but he ought not to inflict it on an audience
in the form of a lecture. To his Omaha
hearers he talked in a monotonous,' half-audible,
uninteresting fashion for a full half hour
before he evoked the slightest ripple of re
sponse and his narrative, full of sameness
and repetitions, gave me the impression that
there never was any excuse for the Gallipoli
expedition, no excuse for persisting in it, no
excuse for not abandoning it sooner. Ac
cording to Masefield, the most difficult task
ever devolved upon any body of troops was
the order to effect a landing on the rocky
shores and then again the most difficult task
ever set . for soldiers was the order .to ef
fect the evacuation. He assured us that the
Balkan problem was a problem "difficult for
even a European to understand" and in
ferentially not worth while trying to explain
to Americans. Finally he quoted a dis
tinguished British army officer describing
this war as "Damned dull, damned dirty and
damned dangerous," which could readily be
rfcraphased for his GaHipoli talk as "Dread
fully dull, dreadfully depressing and dread
fully disappointing. In fairness to Mr.
Masefield, however, it should be said that
he did much better when he broke away
from Gallipoli and ventured to give a few
word pictures of life on the western battle
front, though even this lacked wholly the en
livening factor of vivid personal anecdote.
The really redeeming feature was his
concluding appeal to Americans to forgive
and try to forget all the past wrongs and
injustices which we have neld against the
British and accord whole-hearted support to
our allies in the present fight which they
are making for us. For a moment, he ac
tually unlocked his hands from behind his
back and' limbered up his immobile posture,
but only for a moment. I wonder if Mase
field ever witnessed the platform acrobatics
of that other famous British poet, .philos
opher and author, that master of the art of
audience hypnotizing, John Cowper Powys.
If not, he ought to arrange with him for a
few lessons.
I have been looking through John Sher
man's autobiography, in which I find he men
tions two visits to Omaha in the very early
days. The first was made in 1855, only a
year after the townsite was laid out, when
he went to see his three brothers then living
in Des Moines and with them traveled on
west to locate some land. He writes:
"The road to Council Bluffs from Des
Moines was over a high rolling prairie with
scarcely any inhabitants. The village of
Omaha, opposite Council Bluffs, contained
but a few frame houses of little value.
The settlement of Iowa and Nebraska after
this period is almost marvellous. I have
frequently visited these states since and am
not surprised at their wonderful progress.
I believe there is no portion of the earth's
surface of equal area which is susceptible
of a larger population than that portion of
the United States lying north of the Ohio
river between the Allegheny mountains
and the Missouri river."
A little further on he adverts to a tour
of inspection of the western army posts in
the summer of 1866, in company with his
brother, General William Tecumseh Sher
man. "I proceeded to St. Louis and with
General Sherman and two staff officers,
,' vvent by rail to Omaha. This handsome
city had made great progress since my
former visit. We then went by the Pa
cific railroad to rort Kearney as tar as the
rails were then laid, There our little
party started through the Indian territory,
riding in light wagops with canvas covers,
each drawn by two good army mules, es
corted by a squad of mounted soldiers.
We traveled about 30 miles a day, camp
ing at night, sleeping in our wagons
turned into ambulances, the soldiers un
der shelter tents on blankets and the horses
parked near by. The camp was guarded
by sentries at night and the troopers lay
with their guns close at hand. Almost
every day we met Indiatfs, but none of
them appeared to be hostile. In this way
we traveled to Fort Laramie. The coun
try traversed was an unbroken wilderness,
in a state of nature, but singularly beauti
ful as a landscape. It was an open prairie
traversed by what was called the North
Platte river with scarcely water enough
in it to be called a creek, with rolling hills
on either side and, above, a clear sky and
air pure and bracing. . It was the first
time I had been so far out on the plains
and I enjoyed it beyond expression. I was
soon able to eat my full share of the plain
fare of bread and meat and wanted more.
After many days we reached Fort Laramie,
then an important post far out beyond the
frontier. We remained by a few days then,
following south along the foothills, we
crossed into the Laramie plains to Fort
Sanders. This was the last post to the
west in General Sherman's command."
The recent death of Charles W. Fulton,
former United States senator from Oregon,
should not be permitted to pass unnoticed
here in Nebraska, for Mr. Fulton was
originally a Nebraska man and never failed
to recognize a partial allegiance to this
state. Though born in Ohio, he was raised
and educated in Pawnee county of this state
where in the early 70s he was active and
aggressive in local affairs. Attracted to the
Puget Sound country, he located in the
Willamette valley and taught school there
until he could take up the law. He was for
years a leader in republican state politics and
served a long apprenticeship in the legisla
ture before1 chosen sehator in 1901, as the
outcome of a protracted deadlock and bitter
fight. During his service at Washington, he
was often helpful in furthering projects in
which his old Nebraska friends were inter
ested. I came in contact with him chiefly in
the republican national committee in whose
work he was particujarly active and well
ptMsed. He was in his 65th year at the time
of his death.

A letter received from Los AiiReles this
.last week no, not from Omaha folks con
tains a description which, I am sure, will be
interesting to our readers and I a$ach it
here without comment:
"The last trip we made was to Holly
wood Terrace, the Wattles , home your
Omaha Mr. Wattles and I tell you it is
worth a trip to California to see it. It is
a whole mountain side transformed into a
terraced Japanese garden, which leads
down to the formal garden and then to
the home, which lies in the very crest of
the hill.
"After getting off the street car we
walked straight ahead, up and up, and where
you come to an enclosed orange grove
with a (10 feet high) hedge of wild roses
red and white you begin to see the
beauties of the estate. Don't tell him,
but I plucked one bud to send you, but
I lost it.
"That hedge of wild roses seems never to
end and when it does you are at the en
trance gateway and then one just keeps on
and on up terrace after terrace, always
climbing the mountain, and through dells
and groves and on into the most wonder
ful of Japanese gardens over miniature
streams with curved hedges and still up,
where on one height on mounting stone
steps beheld a Japanese temple with the
stone-carved Buddha, or whoever the Jap
god may be it was a genuine treat and
I am not telling half.
"How one discovers to be tourists I As
I said, I haven't told you half, but it really
is beyond description at some vantage
points on the terraced hillside you look
down over the whole of Hollywood for
us it is the most beautiful home or es
tate we have seen and we are going up
again to see it."

PEACE HYMN OF REPUBLIC
Washington Gladden In New York Post.
Our eyes have seen the splendor of the com-
Ing of the king:
Watched the Greater Glory dawning and the
morning brightening;
Hailed the advent of the peoples, which
the better day shall bring,
For God is marching on.
Gone that ancient curse of bondage; for
God smote it, and it fell;
Darker, curse for our undoing still o'er-
came us like a spell; -War,
the spawn of demons, lingered
blackest spirit out of hell,
But God Is marching on.
He hath' sworn, He will perform It; lo!
the day of wrath is here;
But the nations now are rallying to mark
His Judgment clear;
And all the earth Is waiting the glad day
to appear,
When God la marching on.
"Without the blood no life la purged,"
'twas graven on a stone,
On fleshly tablets of the heart 'tis writ
ten: 'Wo atone
Not best by shedding brothers' blood; but
by giving of our own;"
For Christ is marching on. .
Thus tho Greater Glory shlneth on through
ancient forms of strife,
In the hearts of men abounding now when
better deeds are rite;
As they died by dealing death to men, we
live by sharing life;
For Love Is marching on.
