A Note OF Appreciation.

OMAHA, Oct. a-To the Editor of The
Bee: We all like praise and compliments
when we have said or done anything
noteworthy. Were We more free with a
cheering word now and then there would
be less call for sympathy. Editors have
many hot shots fired at them during the
course OF year. but, nevertheless, they
are human, and, presume are not Inn
mune from praise any more than the rest
OF us
Allow me 70 compliment you for your
excellent editorial Boys tiRht the
Worlds Wars" II Ia only four short
paragraphs. but Is the most appealing
article l have read on the subject OF
war since the inaugurating of the present
conflict.
Better had the economists turned their
calculations 20 the figuring out of a
means OF escape for the fighting children
than causing burrows in their brows by
fluctuations OF the cost OF war In dollars
and cents; for there are child-soldiers IN
the field today. Better had The Hague
conference insisted upon only men fight
ing the worlds war than to fret over the
usa OF dum-dum bullets.
Children in war. past present or future (.
It's a mockery upon civilization!

The Political Party Deadline.

No person shall be entitled to allowed TO
file nomination certificate unless the political
party which he affiliates with polled at the last
election before the primary election to be held at
least per cent OF the entire vote In the state.
county or subdivision in which he seeks the nomi-
nation for office.-Nebraska Election Law.
One per cent OF the total vote is a mighty
small fraction, but 1t offers opportunity this
year for Nebraska to slough off a few party
circles like those credited to the popullsts, the
progressives or the prohibitionists, II not
throughout the state, at least in most OF the
various senatorial and representative districts,
counties and other minor subdivisions In New
Jersey whore the deadline is fixed in the pri-
mary VOTE the progressives have just forfeited
their place on the regular ballot by falling to
poll the required percentage of the total. In
this county the populists have been out of
commission for some time, and II the vote in
the last primary were the test, the progressives
would be self-eliminated too.
The aggregate vote In the entire state in the
coming Nebraska election will probably be in
the neighborhood OF $4,000, of which one per
cent will be $500. II will be interesting to see
whether some OF our so-called political parties
do not find themselves put hors du combat by

Japan's idea of Us.

A professor in the University OF Toxic has
recently been quoted by newspapers In New
York, where he visited. as saying that certain
interests have persistently and systematically
tried to create the impression in Japan that the
people of the United States hold the Japanese
in contempt and that they are in no sense
friends We have had evidences in this country
that, II such perfldious influences were at work,
they have not been entirely unsuccessful, for
frequent reports Of anti American demonstra-
lions in japan have come to US. II must be ad-
mitted, however, that the enlightened view Of
Americans in japan is not this.
So far as the United States is concerned, 1t
has been a rule generous in It's treatment OF
the japanese and is now, as result OF the
European war. about to enter upon more inti-
mate relations through the open door of COM
merce. With the great trading nations OF
Europe engaged in war. we shall be called on
for large measure OF the commerce which they
have heretofore supplied. Our merchants and
manufacturers will, undoubtedly, make the most
OF their special opportunity of impressing Japan
with both the friendship of the United States
a we'll Rs the mutual advantage of their trade,
In the end we may feel sure. closer and more
cordial relations will ensue This is not the
tims for putting the opportunities which come
TO us through the orucible of war 10 mean ad-
vantage, but rather for eultivating the in
timacies OF confidence and the square deal in
business. II we do what is right we may expect
large things In japan.

Social Welfare and the War.

As result OF the war Jane Adams sees
an eclipse falling over the great social welfare
propaganda in this and other countries This re-
markable movement which has made such head
way IN the last few years u.s. in her view, about
TO enter q twilight zone from which II will not
wholly emerge for years TO come. "All organ
lied social welfare activities are put back for
years" says Miss Adams. I'VE have to work
up public opinion anew"
The apprehended mischief is to be played by
the psychological reaction Of wholesale slaughter
upon humanity. Human sensibilites had been
whitfield down to their finest point the social
consciousness never more alert We
Wanted the tendency toward universal peace as
the climax OF our altruistic dreams "one has
a vested right" says Miss Addams '1n the finer
sensibllities OF the human race, which are TO be
called upon for aid in the betterment of the
conditions under which we live. Then comes
along thing like this war and makes its APP
peal to british instincts and are thrown
back"
Some may think Miss Adams too pessi-
mistic. Others may knowingly say we had idly
reckoned too far on the influence OF our ideals
IL we forgot the existence OF "brutish in
stincts" or that we we're warned not to deceive
ourselves, while yet carrying our splendid
social welfare work, as to the dawn Of that bliss
full day when nations shall war no more. But
however much we may wish that the very
horrors OF this war shall accelerate the work Of
war prevention, let us get the force Of this
observation by Miss Adams:
When a million suffering in trenches wet
and cold and wounded, what few children suf-
ferng hard conditions in the factories2 Take
old age pensions, upon which England France and
Germany have been working with widows and
fatherless children numbered by the thousands In

less7 will years before these things are taken

Though new zeal and determination may be
born out of this awful war. new obstacles to 80
cial service to come also. But, of course,
Miss Adams is not thinking that, because tine
task will be larger, II must be abandoned, but
rather that 1t must enlist our more energetic
and unceasing efforts.

Tribute to nm Omaha GIRL.


OMAHA. Oct. 3.--To the Editor OF The
Boo: Omaha church folk who read the
Christian Endeavor World have been re-
minded in the last issue of the loss to
them and their city of one whose name
and influence reached far and wide and
will live long after her, Miss Mabel Earle.
who died on August 30 Miss Earle was a
writer. both OF prose and poetry. of rare
quality, and OF her the World says:
Miss Earle made thousands OF friends
by her writings In this paper. She never
wrote merely for the sake of writing or
for the mere money returns, but always
mad "A deep purpose in her stories, a pur-
pose revealed very earnestly In her letters
concerning them. But Miss Earle
was, above all. poet No better religious
poetry has been written In recent years
than hers.
The Christian Endeavor World says
that Miss Earles last serial for that
paper embodied her experiences in the
Omaha tornado and conveyed the lesson
Of calm trust in God in the midst OF
trial, which she would wish to be her
final message to her friends" The tribute
to this excellent young woman concludes
with two stanzas OF her recent poem,
THE Gates OF Evening" which was used
as the cover poem for 4 late issue OF the
World:
Borne on sea OF deepening rest
Our spirits drift across the bar
To that far portal in the west
The sunset cloud, the sunset star.
Thy mercy. Lord, on toll and painl
Thy pardon, Lord. for fault and sim
Fling wide the gates OF rest again.
And let Thy weary children In.

Just by way of illustration and stimulation.
let us call the attention OF Nebraska TO the
plight OF neighboring Kansas, where the de-
mand for short ballot is even stronger than 1t
is with us. While or two elective offices
familiar here missing there. the Kansas bal
lot includes as novelties to us the offices OF
state superintendent of insurance. state printer
and three places on the State Board Of Irriga-
ton. County tickets in Kansas are likewise so
long-drAwn-out as to call for radical revision,
one OF the boasts Of Henry J. Allen, in his cam
paign as the progressive candidate for governor,
being. II elected. he is going to take club to
the archaic system OF county government that
has persisted since 174O under the English con-
ception and knock It out" He further declares
that the short ballot program can save the coun-
ties Of Kansas 100000 year and the state
$500, 900. II cutting out the surplus offices
can do this in Kansas, It can do something like
Il also In Nebraska.
