The Baying Mr.. Bey.


The good Mr.. A. Rustem Bey, Turkish am
bassador to the United States, evidently has
been undone by the excitement Of the war. The
report Of England's suggestion that American
warships in ottoman seas might serve 70 sup
press apprehended anti-Christian uprisings. ap-
parently has capped the climax Of his nervous
tension.
Il will permit myself to say" observes the
agitated Turk and the license he thereupon ac-
cords his discretion is really remarkable for a
diplomat He sees in 1t all merely a subterfuge
by the willy John Bull to lure our good Uncle
Sam into the war on the side OF the allies.
Generously he the unsophisticated
Yankees against II. For this, OF course, we are
grateful. Without the warning our govern
ment doubtless would have rushed pellmel into
the war. But the baying Of Mr.. Bey does not
stop there. With the massacres that have-.I
cannot, unfortunately, deny"--occurred in Tur-
key, he compares negro lynchings in America
and the water in the Philippines
The TRADE OF the Hon. Bey is chiefly anus
ing, as far its influence goes. Turkey deserves
sympathetic consideration for being represented
at Washington by such an unbalanced diplomat.

OMAHA, Sept. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: Working men would be ready TO

that the ballot Is OF no value to them.
Working men regard as the sheerest folly
the idea that their employers, who profit
by long hours and low wages, are more
capable Of representing working men than
working men are capable OF represent
ing themselves. Should any lawmaker
have the temority to propose that the
ballot be taken away from men and men
be placed in as helpless a position as
working women, the result would be that
after the next election the lawmaker
could not be fopnd-his epitaph would be:

The twenty-nlne corporation lawyers and

Diversified Farming for the South

The latest scheme for relieving the cotton
situation of the south is known as the buy a
bale OF cotton" movement launched at Atlanta.
Three hundred public spirited Gcorgans started
the campaign by buying a bale apiece. to set
the example for many persons as will in
every town and city of the south buy bale a
10 cents a pound direct from the planter and
store 1t in warehouse for one year.
So far as Il goes, this may prove a palli-
alive, but after all, It is in no sense cure. The
paralysis in which the cotton industry of Dixie
finds itself was produced. Immediately, by the
war OF Europe closing up the channels Of ex-
port trade, yet other underlying causes enter
into the conditions with which the southern
people have to deal. They have raised this
year one OF the biggest cotton crops on record.
Normally prices would have been good. but, an
normally, everything is against them
While It might not effect complete cure
for cotton growers over night the solution of
the trouble, II seems to us, is simply greater
diversification OF farming Let the southern
planter learn lesson such as northern farmers
have learned and turn attention to some sup
Elementary crop besides cotton. To be sure, the
south has increased its corn production some
what of late, but not enough; nor has 1t in
creased its production OF fruit and other staples
as much as il might. The south has rather too
readily yielded to the old temptation Just to

PERSISTENCE.

Thomas r. Porter, In Boston Globe.
One thing at least Is fixed and sure:
Should you doubt me, one wiser ask;
He who would most success secure,
Must never waver at his task.
The object he must Gull and choose
From all the others he would gain:
Then in himself ne'er courage lost
But that he will the end attain.
Who sets his course one way today,
And doubts tomorrow IL 'twere wise,
VIII only fit ms powers away
And but to small achievements rise.
The hours Of life too quickly fly;
Our puny hands are far too small
A dozen things each day to try,
So we would only fail in all.
BY neither doubt nor fear he swayed,
Nor from wise counsel turn aside;
But since life's game by each is playeC
One ought to choose himself as guide.
TO all false lights close tight your eye,
To tirnid souls your doors close fast;
Strive with all power that in you lies,
And 10! the goal is yours at last.

A Spur for the simplified Life.

The Bee commented the other day upon the
effect OF the wars stoppage of foreign imports,
forcing fashions in wearing apparel to conform
to simpler materials. Along the same line Col
lier's Weekly suggests that cutting off many
foreign drugs and edibles may make for saner
eating and exercise and less medicine THE
war may be for many of u.s." 1t says, "a valu-
able compulsory discipline in personal hygiene,
a start toward better living"
This is merely another way of expressing the
same thought--that the agitation for a return
to the simpler life has enlisted a new and pow
erful advocate and will help people to carry out
good intentions which they could not before
quite bring themselves to- It is we'll to re-
member, however, that the simple life does not
mean boarding or deprivation. or even spend
ing less money, but in spending 1t on things
that give comfort and enjoyment rather than
on Grass display, freak fashions and over-indul-
gence conducive to discomfort and physical suf-
