strengthening priti.h Determination.


The capture Of the bold little German cruiser,
the Bmden, which had wrought so much destruc-
ton for the British, might have added good
deal Of goal to that celebration in London char
acterised by the thrilling speeches Of Kitchener
and Asquith had II come about little sooner
For the Emden was we'll worth capturing. II has
been the most effective thorn thus far In the
British flesh Of any single instrument of war;
More significant. however, than this incident
are the speeches of Lord Kitchener and Premier
Asquith. The former declared that aside from
the troops reserved from the provinces and those
. on the field England had now 100000 men
drilling and eager for the front. And yet
must have men, and still more men, he said.
And said the premier, This is going to be long
war" All OF which, evidently, is meant to
inspire the highest determination in every Brit
ish subject, though II may at the same time be
taken at It's face value.
We on this side will hope, however, that Pre-
mier Asquth did not mean all his words might
Imply. as to the duration OF the war. In the
awful horror and slaughter there is this one grim
consolation that each toll Of disaster brings the
end OF the war nearer.

Authority useless without Money.

Various civic organizations are discussing
the desirability of number of municipal enter
prises for which they propose to secure enabling
legislation. Similarly In the late campaign
candidates on the legislative ticket talked much
about laws they we're going TO enact to help
bring about these projects sifted down to bed
rock, however, the establishment OF municipal
farm. the building OF a wbfRhouse. the purchase
OF lighting plants, the opening OF public baths.
the acquisition of more parks and Fairgrounds
each and every one Is a question OF money much
more than of authority. Either city or county
can now huld and maintain workhouse II the
treasury would permit, although legislation may
possibly be needed to permit them to Join to-
gether in such an undertaking. The city now
has power TO purchase any public utility service
using our streets, the real thing lacking being
the money; likewise as to parks Fairgrounds,
muaisipal baths and public comfort stations, for
which the necessary cash Is Invariably the first
considerations We have no disposition to dis
courage the launching of desired public enter
prlses as soon as the city Is in position to take
them up, but those who agitate for new mu-
nlcipal activities should realize that authority
is useless unless followed up with the money.

A Dead Issue Oh. MOI

AZ state issue the Third ward in Omaha Is a
dead issue. which is not likely to be resurreoted
The people OF the rest OF the state are too busy
with more important matters TO waste any time on
the Third ward, What Is needed most Is legislation
ana regulation for the whole state. Nor IL Il wise
or just 70 denounoe the whole population OF
Omaha because Il has a ward or two OF political
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Star
While this sounds fair the Star man does not
grasp the whole Significance OF the political game
as II is played In Omaha. 1.-The were thoroughly
familiar with conditions here, the Star man
would know that'the Third ward machine has
been smashed" at every successive election for
the last twenty years, but that it remains the
permanent stock in trade of all the fake reform
ers and ambitious demagogues who seek reward
OF public place for fighting this terrible ogre.
He would also know that the Third ward casts
fewer votes than any other ward in Omaha; that
its population Is mostly transient because It con-
tains all the principal hotels In the city; that as
consequence. many OF the same people who
vote In the upper wards at one election find
themselves as guests Of our hotels voting in the
Third ward at another election, and vice versa
Then, too, he would know that the honest cleo
lions law has given US ehemleally-pure elections
In the Third ward as well as In every other ward
But aside from all this, how dull Omaha
politics would be without the Third ward bogey
TO scare the timid and inexperienced into the
fold OF the good shepherds. who alone can save
us from destruction by this monster.
