A soandaIOus situation.

The controversy between State Treasurer
Hall and Governor Morehead from which has
developed the spectacle Of the governors depu-
ties and appointees lawlessly holding and ex-
pending public money without passing II
through the treasury must impress the taxpay-
ers OF Nebraska with the need OF reform that
will give us business methods In the states IL
nances. The enactment of what is known as
the "Gerdes law" to require deposit in the treas
ury Of all fees collected in the different depart
ments of the state government is supposed to
meet this demand. but we are now confronted
with fragrant disregard Of that law well
further illustration that It is not fully effective
for the purpose intended.
We know what would happen II this scan
dalous situation with respect TO the holding out
of money from the state treasury should arise
in any big private business corporation like
railroad, or an insurance company or manu-
featuring enterprise. Without doubt lot of
people would lose their jobs and consider them
selves lucky TO escape prosecution for embezzle-
ment. No reputable business establishment
would knowingly stand for that sort OF doings
for one moment
Is there any good reason why the finances
OF the state should be run more loosely than
those OF business corporation? Certainly not
except that nothing but incapacty can be ex-
pected from control OF our state government by
democratic administration impelled only by a
hankering for craftsmanship and patronage.

Great Britain's Tim.

The adjustment OF the dispute with Ger
many go - Submarine warfare leaves the
United states free to take up with Great
Britain the question OF it's interference with
American commerce on the high seas. This
matter has been pending for many months, post
poned on several occasions because of the more
immediate German problem, and has reached a
stage that makes some sort OF understanding
imperative. BY the simple expedient OF an order
In council, concurred in by its allies the Brit
ish government has undertaken 10 abrogate OF
modify the rules laid down for commerce in
time of war to degree that literally makes the
high sea an English lake. Presumption has been
substituted for conclusive proof. and every doubt
that might exist is resolved beforehand in favor
OF the British contention. This condition is i'm
tolerable. No one disputes the charge that
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland are
carrying on a considerable traffic with Germany
and Austria and that quite a lot of American
goods have found their way TO German desti-
nation through the neutral ports of Europe.
This does not give Great Britain the right to
stop all American traffic with Scandinavian or
Dutch ports We are still permitted to sell alb
solute contraband to customers not engaged in
the war, without regard to the disposition made
OF these wares by the purchasers. II these buyers
subsequently deal with the Germans the COM
plant is against them and not against the
Americans. SO long we are in the business OF
selling our surplus products, It is not within
the right Of any nation to specify where and
how we shall seek our customers
Secretary Lansing says the note will soon go
forward to the British government. but does
not give any inkling as 20 it's text. For the sake
of American dignity, It ought to be as plain
spoken as were the notes to Germany.

Neutrality Between Friends.

Il now appears that the landing OF French
troops at saloniki is in reality a breach of
Grecian neutrality against which a formal, II
feeble, protest is lodged by Premier Venxelos.
Just before he gave in HIS resignation because
King Constantine refused to endorse his war
policy II is well understood that the Allies. for
strategical purposes need the open way through
Macedonia TO Serbian borders. The diplomatic
maneuvers preceding the present movement
seemed to have slipped cog somewhere. While
Bulgaria made feint several days ago, leading
TO the announcement that It had declared war on
Serbia. this course has not yet been finally
taken. In offset an ultimatum was sent from
Petrograd to Sofia, but here again an unex-
planned delay OF twenty-four hours occurred In
the meantime the transports bearing the French
troops were steAming along to Saloniki, and
reached there on schedule time, but before the
statesmen had the. stage completely set and all
things prepared for the entrance OF the soldiers
on Greeian soil under the flag Of France. II Is
not at all likely these troops will now be re-
called, but rather they will be followed by
others, even II the course does not comport en-
tirey with the high sounding professions OF re-
spect for neutrality of the weaker nations OF
Europe After all. what Is neutrality among

Of speculation has been in progress for several
weeks. and within the last few days has reached

led the clearing house banks and allied organiza-
tions to take some steps with view to check

The Planets and the weather.
NORTH LOUP, Neb.. Oct 6--To the
Editor Of the Bee: II our weather bureau
would ask for a small appropriation FOE
q study OF the upper atmosphere. tbs
causes OF the heavy rainfall and dro,!ta
years might be discovered. In 1901 the
present writer began a study OF these
oJLd .tiOns and while no tests have been
made, the fact appears evident that the
temperature OF the atmosphere far above
the earth surface has much TO do with
cloud and rain conditions. Primarily
rain is caused by q cold current OF ait
passing against warm moisture-laden,
current OF air. Hence change Of twenty
degrees In the upper atmosphere would
make a great difference In the matter
OF rainfall
Any person who has studied weather
conditions has noticed that any of the
planets cause n rise of temperature Just
previous 10 the changes OF those planets.
This phenomenon is especially noticed
In the moon changes. because of the
quickness of those changes. have also
noticed that magnetic conditions, caused
from these changes, affects the temper
allure OF the atmosphere. regardless OF
the sun. From the fact that the planets
Saturn and Jupiter are so very large and
far from the sun and earth, the magnetic
conditions coused from those planets ap-
proaches slower and continues much
longer than similar magnetic conditions
Of Mercury. Venus, Mars and the moon.
The difference is a matter OF the size
and distance of the planets. For instance,
the planets Saturn and Jupiter come ins1
certain positions and for many months
their magnetic influence causes a rise {
temperature in the upper atmosphere
AS soon as those planets pass those posi-
lions, the temperature falls below the
normal, and a wet season is the result.
A study of the positions OF Saturn and
Jupiter with respect to the sun will GO
long way toward the solution Of the
causes OF the wet and dry years Tho
years OF 1892, '93. "a and 'a5 were very
similar TO the years 1910 II, u, 'l3 ana
IA, and those planets occupied the same
position In those years. They are now
in about the same position Of 1896. They
occupied the same position in 1851 and
1902 both wet years. They occupied the
same position in 1886 and 1906. both
wet yearr. But the fact must be
remembered that other planets have
similar magnetic forces. and those forces
may concur in opposition or conjunction
with the forces of Saturn and Jupiter.
II the earth's atmosphere were subject
to the heat from the sun only. we might
know exactly what each day of the year
shall be from year to year

InternationnI EthIc..

MCOoK. Neb., Oct. 4-To the Editor
OF The Bee: Can there not be made n
rational and satisfactory statement OF
International ethics that will satisfy the
conscience of America and the world as
to the selling of supplies by us to the
warning nations? think there can. We
have enjoyed a long term of peace and
trade intercourse with all the world.
Needless to remark the European war
arose from no acts Of ours and called for
no participation. We very properly pub
lshed our neutrality to the world and
went about our concerns. We have con-
tinued to sell our products to all Gus
toners presenting themselves at our
counters. totally without discrimination.
We do not have for sale nor ever have
made or sold any commodity useful only
for war. We have always sold explosives
and projectiles and guns, both large and
small and barb wire and motorcycles
and automobiles and aeroplanes and tele-
phones and cotton and corn and wheat
and beef and pork and shoes. Not an
item named is exclusively useful in war.
Nations have peaceful uses for them all.
To refuse any OF these articles to any
OF our customers involves our judging
their intentions and charging them with
intending immoral use. They would deny
H. They might admit the use would be for
war, but contend Il a righteous war on
their part What then?-for wars are not
necessarily immoral on both sides. To
be In a state OF war Is not pTima facie
evidence of wrong on the part of
nation. Wars Of defense are considered
honorable by every sane man. Wars as
sisting an ally are clean wars. II the
ally's cause he just. Wars 10 preserve
the balance of power among neighbor-
ing nations are above reproach. II We
denied the warning nations. they would
then trade with US totally through their
neutral neighbors. as they do largely
now. At that stage our sentimental
carpers and critics would demand that
We put up our shutters and completely
suspend foreign trade 10 escape culpa-
bility for the continuance OF the war.
But let as suppose that done (snd Ma

unnatural restrictions work. would Il

Music of the Revival.


OMAHA. oct. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: We are having the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra here for the avowed
purpose Of raising the musical taste of
Omaha. Heaven knows II needs it. A

such musical atrocities as Brighten the
Corner Where You Are" and consider
that music when the hymn books of all
the churches are full of noble examples
of harmony free for the use of any one
Is a reflection on the musical intelligence
Of that community.
To chronicle the arrival in town OF the
author of that abominable substitute for
music as IL he had done something good
instead of committing crime against
aesthetics Is the limit. or course, the
grade of music fits the grade OF language
that Billy" Sunday uses. but 1t is a dis
couraging outlook for the growth of in
telligent musical appreciation In Omaha
that such a maudlin travesty on music
should be taken at it's face value. The
whole Sunday performance. music and
all, Is a reflection on the good taste and
common sense of the community.
Those on the right side will sing the
first two lines, 'Tinkle, tinSle tinkle, tink,
tink, tink.' Those on the left will sing
the next two lines. 'Tinkle. tinkle, tinkle,
tink. tink, tink.' The choir will sing the
next two lines, 'rinkle tinkle, tinIle, tink,
