The Nebraska Pioneer.

No state or nation can ever hope to repay
the men and women who founded It, any more
than a child can repay parent. The pioneers
OF Nebraska are, indeed, entitled to credit and
gratitude for their part In making this q state,
as they have been repeatedly told by various
speakers at their annual assembly. But IL these
sturdy folk could but live on a decade or two
longer we are sure that, IL they are proud to-
day Of the state they helped TO establish, they
would have cause for far greater pride then.
For, after all, Nebraska Is but blushing miss
in the siterhood OF states, else we would not be
enjoying these conventions OF men and women
who are actually among the earliest settlers. 1t
requires no very fertile imagination to pre-
figure the possibilities OF our future. Blessed
as we are with the natural resources that go to
make great commonwealth. blessed with fine
type OF people, with the most strategic Of loca-
tions--on the mainline from coast to coast and
linking, we might say, the north and the south
our destiny is secure It is not mere hollow
play upon words to exalt and extol the pioneer,
therefore. t'is but a scant effort at repaying
just and lasting debt
Aside from the positive work of helping 10
construct a state. OF blazing the way to agricul-
ture and commerce and science and art pion-
eerng possesses an element OF value as intrinsic
as these and incompsTably more precious to
progress of people. That is the spirit that
ever made the pioneer the spirit, not 80 much
Of adventure, as first, discomfort with present
conditions and then longing after larger and
better things for self and posterity. Within
that spirit abides the fearless courage, the rug
ged industry and the homely zeal of unsefish
patriots that inspire great hearts to essay great
tasks. Let us of Nebraska pray that never shall
we lose from our composite life a single one OF
these basic elements OF the only character that
is worth while. And by no means let forget
or minimize the part of the pioneer in the build
ing OF the state and our debt TO him.

Charges Incons,stency.

OMAHA, Oct. 2.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: Why don't Messrs. spader, Meyer,
and their sympathizers keep quiet? 1t Is
perfectly natural and we'll enough for
those of German descent to sympathlze
with Germany and the kaiser, but why
are they continually seeking TO force
their views on others?
Shortly after the beginning Of the. war
they were crying TO the people to sus-
pend judgment until complete and I'M
biased information were at hand. They
were also begging the public to refrain
from taking sides with any of the belli-
,gerents. They were shouting neutrality
for all they were worth. In these same
letters they were espousing the cause of
Germany and the kaiser in their most
forceful language.
Now they have quit harping on ''neu-
trality" and have substituted a little
mud-slinging. A mans argument must
be pretty thin when he resorts to the use
of such terms as. liars" darn fools"
etc, for those whose opinions differ from
his own. H. Z. DRESS.

Easy II We Only Know How.

Americans are disposed TO make hard work
OF pronouncng the names OF the places mem
toned in the war news dispatches. But Just to
show how easy they could make It II they would,
we submit a list of the names OF important
cities they are spelled and pronounced, which
an expert in linquistics has compiled:
Przemysl--Pryz hay-meesl
Petrogra1-Pet- -grahd.
Nosciska,-Mosh- tehee-ska-

Thus 1t will be seen that, what at first
glance appears to be a Undertaking Job for an
American to get his tongue properly coiled
around some OF these names, it is very simple II
he only knows how. The think to do Is to
keep in mind the principles governing these
strange pronunciations and the rest Is easy.
Take. for example. Przemysl. figuring promi-
nently IN current reports. Some folks make a
big fuss over IT, when all they have to do Is to
note the simplicity of the spelling. Pr-y-z-h-a-y-
m-e-e-s-l, and It pronounces itself. With these
Keys to the situation we believe II should I'M
ravel itself to all and make the study OF war
bulletins much more interesting.

The Bee is glad to find the Pilot in agree
ment here with the plan OF ballot reform which
we have proposed The Bee might not be so
bold as to say that the short ballot alone will
eliminate all the faults that have shown up In
the direct primary, but with the short ballot
achieved, It would be comparatively easy TO de-
wise ana apply the proper remedies to any minor
defects. We recently heard a member OF the
state senate declare himself in favor of max
