II auto races around a motor speedway are
to hold their popularity. the promoters will in
our judgment, have to do something to make
them more interesting to the spectators 800
mile race requiring three hours and q half Of
continuous driving although with occasional
spurts to gain lap every now and then, may
be a fine endurance test for the fabricators Of
the machines and for the makers OF tires, and
doubtless exhibits the daring and skill Of the
operator. but II does not save the monotony Of
the game to those who are looking on.
Who ever heard of hundred-mile, or even
a ten-mie horse race? The six-day bicycle races
had their day. but quickly went by the board.
On the other hand, shortening the auto races,
and multiplying the number of them, would add
zest and excitement. II Is not the continuous
circling OF the track but the straining finish
that commands aroused attention. Give the peo-
pie series Of real racing contests and they will
not insist on having the program last through
three hours and a half

Noy.lty in piplomatic Procedure.

The state department of the United States
has just been presented with what appears to be
genuine novelty In diplomatic procedure.
Germany is said TO be seeking suggestions from
the United States as TO what concessions in con-
nection with the stand this country has taken
in support Of neutral rights may be regarded as
sufficient II Ia easy TO understand that the
kaiser has natural desire 10 yield no more
than IL absolutely and definitely necessary to
maintain friendly relations with this nation.
That IL part OF the business of bargain king.
But "shirt sleeve" diplomacy is a little bit dis
concerning because Of the directness with which
It approaches the point at issue. II affords no
precedent for the present feeling out process.

American notes contain no trading points. but
simply define with exactness the treatment this
government looks for and demands OF Germany

that 1t has become part Of Greater
Omaha? note that the papers have
started referring IN II as the South
side" which seems I y me ridiculous and
confusing. Suppose you want to refer
to happenings in that part OF the original
city lying south OF Farnan street, how
will you do Il? That Is also the south
side.
When Greater New York was created
they didn't drop the names Brooklyn and
Jersey City. Those parts of the greater
city are stu known by their original
name. so Il IL In ell large cities. Take
philadelphia, for example. A large section

Many other parts that were engulfed In
the growth Of the city still retain their
original names. Frankfort, Mauayunk,
Tacony, Bridesburg. North Philadelphia
are some of these.
Don't drop the names OF South Omaha
and Dundee just because they happen to
be included in the greater city. Let
them continue as convenient aids to
