Well, Caesar had to deny himself a crown. Bank clearings last week were nearly $12, 500,000 a day, pretty fair showing for Omaha New Zealand has accepted the 'mandate for Samoa.

A lot of it may be traced to pure damphoolishness. The attorney general of the United State is flourishing a big stick, but does not seem to have hit a profiteer yet. . The administration has played with fire until it hu a nice blaze started, and now .does not know how to put it out t John Boil does not take kindly to the sug gestion that he shave Gibraltar with Uncle Sam. Nothing like that on his card. The Department of. Labor at Washington thinks it sees a decrease in the cost of , living, but the man who pays the bills has not noticed it yet. . , A two weeks' drive to stop accidents is , 1 under way on the railroads of the country. If successful it might be extended to cover all the future. t New York brewers propose to ifeep right on making' the "2-point-75" stuff till the law forces them to quit This attitude is one of llie prime reasons for prohibition. - v .Fixing the retail price of sugar at 11 cents in the United States is not likely to please Cuban ' planters, who are holding on for 12 cents for the raw stuff in Havana. It is a great game. One way to make a lady love you is to soak . her in the jaw, and one way to treat an abusive husband it to shoot him in the back; either will land the party of the first part in. jail. Secretary Baker has .disappointed his good friend, Mayor Hylan of New York, by sending troops in to do the work the anarchistic sup porters of the mayor refuse to do. But for once the secretary it right. German schools', following the lead of the United States, are cutting out of text books nice little anecdotes of the Hohenzollerns. It -would have saved a lot of trouble if this had been started on ten years ago. More Than Language Needed Senator Kenyon has returned from his visit "to the steel cities and his talks with the steel strikers much disturbed by his discovery that so many of the workers know nothing about the English language, ancne is nrmiy aeicrmmcu to do what he can as a legislator for thet re- , tnoval of what he correctly considers a serious obstaclt to Americanization of these men and ; their families.; . . ' c th senator ; has come - strongly to realise the dangers, political and economic, that invariably exist in the "foeign colony," wherever it may be. Apparently, how ever, he somewhat exaggerates the efficiency of mere language in producing what he meant by "Americanism." , . Certainly the "one-language nation which the senator says we should teek to create is highly desirable, for it would make easier the at tainment of many, perhaps alt, commendable ends. But there is more than language to Americanism, at has been learned only too well of late, for not a few of the country's most dangerous agitators are both literate, and Eng-lish-tpeaking, and it is in only a few of the ; great industries that the majority of the work- . irs are separated from the older stocks by, their p??h. - -. - -!-:. . . ; . ...

LOOK TO THE DELEGATES. With the decks cleared by the supreme court decision upholding the method of election pro vided by the legislature, it must be taken as accepted that the convention to revise the con stitution' of Nebraska, will meet in December and proceed with its work. It is regrettably true that to date no appreciable interest hat been manifested either among the general citi zenship of the state or among those represent ing the people in public positions, in more or lest direct contact with constitutional authority and limitations, in this exceptional and vital process of reconstructing our fundamental law. The people of Nebraska should wake up at once to realization that all their individual rights and personal liberties, the framework of their government the measure and application of their taxes, the choice of their public officers, the qualifications for suffrage, the control of their school system, state university and state institutions, will be in the constitutional c6nven-. tion hopper along with' many less important questions. To deal with this subject matter In telligently, sanely, and yet- with a progressive outlook calls for men of ability as delegates to the convention. The election is just two weeks off in some districts the filings leave no choice, in others with excess candidates the voters must make a selection, and it is none too soon for them to begin scrutinizing the list. Class Warfare in the United Stares. When Secretary Lane took the chairman ship of the industrial conference he announced that we have no class warfare in the United States. His optimism is scarcely justied by the facts. Ample evidence exists that class conflict it present, with danger of the situation getting worse instead of better. In the conference over which he presides is afforded a spectacle of the very thing he denies. Judge Gary refuses to recede from his determination not to consult with representatives of the unions now on strike in the steel industry, while the capital group declines to accept in any form the prin ciple of collective bargaining. In New York United States soldiers have been called on to unload army transports be cause of he strike of longshoremen, and from this comes an appeal by the communist com mittee for an overthrow of the government Here is class warfare, pure and simple. Judge Gary does not represent all the employers of the United States! for many of them deal con tinually with labor unions, and the communist committee of New York does ?ot represent, the workers of America, not many of whom are ready to unjte in a bolshevik movement to upset the government t They are extremes, and some methods must be applied to bring them to a more reasonable understanding. It is not a question of wages in either case. No other industry pays its em. ployes better than those employed around the steel mills; the longshoremen were working under contracts negotiated for them by their union. Each side, it standing firm on its "rights," the. one to refuse to deal with the jinion, the other to. reuse to work. Autocratic power of either capital or labor is dangerous. It seems idle to talk of justice to either of these groups. How to bring them to their senses is 'the important thing right now. A day or two longer in New York or Washing-; ton may mean much to the future of the United States. Secretary Baker's Business Methods. One paragraph of the Creel hymn of praise to Newton D. Baker, published some morfths ago while the war was still raging, dwelt on the facile ease and grace with which the secretary of war dealt with millions and hundreds of mil lions of dollars. Evidence to support the ac curacy of the press agent of the War depart ment is accumulating. We have had some insight into the deal for the nitrogen fixation plant at Mussel Shoals, a little light on the cantonment contracts, and some hints as to various munition maneuvers, and now the cover is being gently lifted from the air craft program. At least one item of loss that foots up the tidy sum of $611, 000 that is, it would have been, a tidy sum a few years ago is alleged to. be due directly to the secretary of war's readiness to dispose of con tracts involving millions. The director of sales insists that the Curtiss people were given a bargain in 'airplanes and motors at direction of the secretary, who would brook no delay until an invoice had been made and a basis forvaluation discovered. Machines7 were sold to the Curtiss company for $200 and" the same sort were sold to a Nebraska concern at $756, or more than three times as much, and the discrepancy is now explained as the result of interference by the head of the War depart ment with the work of his assistants, How much more of this sort of thing will bejkought to light as time goes on can not be guessed at, but enough is shown to prove that for' once Creel was right when he described the insouciance with which. Mr.- Baker disposed of large sums of government money. Recess Day for Congress. Talk is now heard that the extraordinary session of congress may be brought to an end some time around November 10. A short rest period before taking up the work of the regular session is thought desirable by the members, many of whdm have been in Washington al most continuously since the last session of the Sixty-fourth congress began in 1915. The date tentatively set is significant. It is not likely the senate will take a recess without disposing of the treaty, and this indicates the possibility of a final vote ta the document on November 11, an appropriate time and a proper method ob serving the beginning of the armistice. Be tween now and that time, attention will be given to perfecting the formal reservations that are to be made on behalf of the United States. That these will be adopted by the senate is certain, although it is not so sure that the treaty will be ratified with reservations. Unless the presi dent's group recedes from its present position, the treaty, will fail. ', Viscount. Astor will be remembered in death chiefly because he gave up his American sov ereignty to become a British subject that he might have social exclusiveness impossible in a land so democratic as that of his birth. He was not a leader in America nor did he become one In England. . ' ' ; The Union Pacific is getting ready to take over its own affairs again. That is one road that has been a money-maker for Uncle Sam. World' 8 Mightiest River Recent reports of seamen Concerning the present excessive temperature of the waters of the Gulf Stream, to which some experts attrib ute the . heatr ware along the Atlantic coast, prompted the National Geographic society to issue a bulletin concerning this mighty current. - The bulletin, based'on a communication from Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury, U. S. N., president of the National Geographic society, and the world's foremost Authority on the Glf Stream, follows: 'The Gulf Stream is probably the grandest and most mighty of any terrestrial phenomenon. Its waters are characterized by a deep indigo blue color of great clearness and high tempera ture. It can be penetrated by. the eye to con siderable depths, and generally its meeting with the less saline polar waters can "be at once dis tinguished. , "It is difficult for the mind to grasp the immensity of this great ocean river. The straits of Florida at its narrowest point is about 40 miles wide. A calculation of the average volume of water passing in one hour gives the enormous sum of 90,000,000,000 tons. If this one single hour's flow of water could b evaporated the remaining salts would require many times more than all the ships in the world to carry it. "When one is on board a vessel, floating upon its waters, one is not as much impressed at the power and grandeur of thiswonder of nature as he is when he stands before a tower ing mountain, an 1 immense iceberg, or a fall of water such as Niagara, but when one remem bers that the mighty torrent, speeding on, hour bv hour and day by day in a volume equal to ail the largest rivers in the world combined, carrying its beneficent heat to temper the cli mate of continents, one begins to realize that of all the forces of the physical world none can equal this one river of the. ocean. "Ponee de Leon, while on his famous search for the Fountain of Youth, made the discovery of this great stream. After his failure to find, on the coast of upper Florida, the means of cheating death, he turned to the southward and skirted the shore for hundreds of miles, thus stemming the current. 4 '.'The name of 'Gulf Stream was first sug gested by Benjamin- Franklin because it issues from the Gulf of Mexico. While it is only a part of the grand scheme of ocean circulation, and the Gulf of Mexico is in reality only a stopping place, as it were, for its waters, this name is generally applied to the Current now as it was given by Franklinthat is, the current coming from the Gulf of Mexico and.spreading abroad over the North Atlantic. "The theories as to the cause of ocean cur rents have been many. Franklin's theory, which has many advo cates at the present day, was that the winds produce the current by the air moving over the surface of the water, and he illustrated this theory by the following: 'It is known that a large piece of water, 10 miles broad and gen erally only three feet deep, has by a strong wind had its water driven to one side andysus tained so as to become 6 feet deep, while ""the windward side was laid dry.' As will be seen later, this is a well-taken example of the force of the wind in causing the Gulf Stream, but it does not quite show the whole of the truth. . "In -the tropical regions there is a steady movement of the air front east to west known as the trade winds. South of a certain line sit uated near the equator these winds flow from a southwesterly direction, while north of the equator they come from a more northeasterly direction. The winds are not always Strong, nor are they constant in direction, but they do. not vary much, and then only for brief periods. "Winds blowing over the surface of the water induce a current in the latter due to friction. ; At first it is only the merest skim that moyes, but gradually the motion is com municated from layer to layer until at last, if the wind is long continued as in the trade wind region, the movement extends to lower depths, 300 or 400 feet, or perhaps more. "These trade wind currents meet finally, the partial barrier of the islands forming the east ern part of the Caribbean, and a portion of the flow escapes through the passages between them. From here it continues its course across that sea until it reaches the obstruction of the Hon duras and Yucatan coasts, from which it es capes by the easiest route, which is into the -Gulf of Mexico. "It has been found, however, that the water entering the Caribbean by this means is not more than one-half of the amount Which flows through the straits .of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico, and the other half is supplied from a source which does not come under the head of a measurablecurrent. The other source is the wave caused by the wind. Every ripple car ries a certain amount of water in the direction toward which it is flowing, irrespective of the current caused by its friction, and when the waves become large, tons of water are hurled from the crest into the trough every time the wave breaks. , " "In a large area like the -Caribbean, having a comparatively constant wind blowing over its whole surface, this action is practically a simul taneous movement of its surface waters to the westward and a continual escape of the water heaped up at the obstruction offered by the land into the Gulf of Mexico, through the straits of Florida, and into the Atlantic. "The Gulf Stream would be little felt on the coast of Europe did it not receive a great addition to its volume of heat when enroute. This is by means of a gentle flow from the northeast trade wind current that passes out side the Caribbean Islands and the Bahamas. The surface temperature of this outside cur rent is about the same in its passage along the West Indian Islands as the Gulf Stream in the straits of Florida, but it is less violent in its movements and there is less intermingling of its upper and lower waters, so that it arrives off Cape Hatteras with a much higher tempera ture than that of the more turbulent Gulf Stream." , Solution No. 6,200,472. . ... The only trouble with democracy is that it has developed into government of the people, at the people, over the people, under the peo ple, around the people, between the people, into the people, with the people, without the people, for the people, beyond the people, after the Eeople, before the people, in front of the people, ehind the people, outside the people, inside the people. Why not get back to the original Lin colnian prepositions? Life. ITQUAV The Day We Celebrate. John Burns, English labor leader and states man, born in London, 61 years ago. , Benedict C.

Women and the Pre$ byterian Church ' Whether women shall have equal rights with men In ail the functions of membership in the Presbyterian church in the United States of Amer ica is to be determined by a can vass of the Presbyterians of the country. Three questions are to be decided: .-. 1. Whether women shall be or dained to. the eldership. 2. Whether women shall be or dained to the ministry of - the church. S. Whether women shall have the same rights as men in the ses sions, prebyterles, synods and as semblies of the church. . These questions were propounded to the general assembly of the Pres byterian church by three presby teries and were referred to a spe cial committee on official relations of women in the church. This com mittee consists of: Rev. S. Hall Youngr, D. D., chairman, 156 Fifth avenue, New York City; Rev. Edgar W. Work, D. D., 631 West End ave nue, New York City; Rev. William L. Barrett, D. D., Bellefontaine, O.; Mr. John T. Manson, New Haven Conn.; Mr. Rush Taggart, S19 West Seventy-nrtn street. New York City, The committee was appointed by Dr. John Willis Baer, moderator of the Presbyterian church, in ac cordance with the action of the last general assembly. Rev. W. H. Rob erts, D. V., fit Philadelphia, stated clerk of the general assembly, is ex-omclo clerk of the committee. The committee has delegated to Dr. Young the task of obtaining the consensus of opinion from the men and women or the church and th general argument, pro and con. It has instructed Dr. Work to re port on Bible deliverances on the subject. . It has requested Dr. Barrett to assemble the facts as to the usages or otner cnurcnes. Mr. Manson is to report on cases regarding women s places in the church which have been decided or are now pending. Mr. Taggart is to look un Prea. byterian law and also the equity in the case. The committee's policy is net to precipitate any open discussion of tne question before it makes its re. port to the assembly, inasmuch as k anticipates that overtures will be sent down to the Dresbvteriea. anrl when this is done will be the proper ume tor open discussion of the question. But the committee announces that it does desire to receive freely from men and women of the Presbyter ian church their opinions on this aencate and important matter -in order that the committee mav mnkfi a complete and intelligent report r-resoyierian general assem bly. The committee hopes by thus canvassing the church membership for opinion to receive a large num ber of communications from actual Presbyterians to guide them during Ljimr lurencoming sessions as a pre liminary to their reDort and rernm mendatlons to the general assembly.

One of the numerous superstitions of the Italian peasantry is that rows of teeth hung around the necks of uuie cnuoren will assist them in teething. The coldest period of the day is uauany a lew minutes alter sunrise. This Is owing to the fact that when the sun first strikes the earth it causes the evaporation of a chilling muiBiure. A declaration of marriage in Slam is very simple. It is considered a proposal merely to offer a lady a flower or to take a light from a cl garet if she is holding it in her mouth. The Chinese point of view of mar itime disasters is peculiar. The duty or a uninese sailor is well denned. He must save the men first, then the children, and finally the women. This is on the theory that men are most valuable to the state, that adoptive parents can be 'found for children and that women without husbands are destitute. Honesty among Icelanders is so severe a faith that thefts are un known, though locks, bolts and bars are never used. Of the only two acts of felony within the last eight or nine centuries one was committed by a German settler, who was com pelled to make restitution to his vic tim and then given the option of death or speedy emigration. In Japan, chrysanthemums are a very popular dish. The Japanese housewife procures a large bunch and soaks them in a bowl of clear water. When scrupulously clean they are boiled, and they can then be eaten as they are, or chopped up into small flakes. . rV OT7Z&T DAILY CARTOONETTE. YES?Y0UR horsf has THE COLIC - 111- FIX HIM!

"With a worn-out roller skate, you un put the teeter on ball bearings.

"For a base, th strongest thing is a stump about three ieet high, sawed off squarely on top. If no stump is handy, set a strong six inch fence post into the ground, by first digging- a hole a couple of feet deep and then tamping the earth firmly around the aost. - "The turntable on top of the post or stump is made of a piece of board or plank, preferably oak, 10 or 12 inches square, Vt inch thick, with the corners sawed off: Spike this to the oost or stumo top. "Then take apart an old roller skate so as to secure the two pairs of wheels and the frameworks to which thev are attached. Fasten the two pieces of framework firm ly to the bottom of the plank witn nails or screws, so that the pairs of wheels are on opposite sides of the bolt hole. "A piece of one-inch pipe set into a hole bored through the turn-table into the post makes "a good king bolt. If it is threaded on top, a pipe joint screwed on will keep the plank from flying off. The bolt should be long enough so that the olank rides on the wheels but has plenty of room to teeter up and down. t (Next week: "Rack for Mother's Pie Pans.") Boys' and Girl' Newspaper Servlea.
