owatchful WAITING Personally ExpOunded.

"Wstchful Waiting" Personally Expounded.
In his Jackson day speech at indianapolis,
President Wilson took occasion personally to
expound "watchful waiting" at the same time
paying his respects to those who have not agreed
with him in his policy. Woodrow sat back and
chuckled," said the president. in the exuberance
OF his satisfaction with his work, knowing that
he laughs best who laughs last" This With
reference to the criticism of his course. In de-
Tense OF that course. he said:
Now I am for the 80 per cent, which Is none
OF my business and It is OF your business how
long they take in determining t. IL is OF my bus
mess Of yours how they go about the business
The country IL theirs The government is theirs the
liberty. II they get and God speed them in get
ting tit Is theirs And far my influence goes
while I am president nobody will interfere with them
Which can only one thing, and that is
the indefinite continuance Of the deplorable con-
dltions that prevail in Mexico. While the var
ious leaders OF murderous bands pursue their
round OF raplne and slaughter, so long as they
do not fire across the border, they may murder
and pillage as suits their convenience OPP
portunity without fear of protest or interference
from the United States
The state OF anarchy in Mexico is not an in
spring example OF 'liberty's glorious feast"
It's end will only come with the exhaustion Of
the opposing forces, and outward indications supr
port the conclusion that that time will be either
when there IS no longer any plumber worth striv-
ing for, or when no banditti remain to fight over
the remnants. Il seems too late now for the
United States to be OF any real serGice in Mex
leo short OF Intervention, so we can only join
the president in "watchfu waiting" but the
chuckling over the situation will hardly spread
far from the executive office.

Money Back at Work.

No better proof OF the stability of omaha's
commerce and industry could be had than the
showing made by the local banks Of their condi-
ton at the close OF the year. An increase OF
s3,2O0,0O0 In deposits and an increase In loans
and discount OF more than $500, 900 within sixty
days shows that money is not being boarded
here. but is going back into the uses OF business
through the normal channels. Along with this
sign of the times other indications of healthy
activity point TO the continued growth and pros
perity Of the city. The building projects for the
year are but one Of many elements combining
TO support the assertion that Omaha is on the
up grade in business and development.

Part Of the Price of War.

Daily the selling price of wheat mounts
higher; the price of flour goes up with the
wheat, and the price OF bread follows flour. This
is a natural outcome of conditions incident to
the war in Europe and is part of the penalty
the world must pay because Of that war. The
interdependence OF the world was never better
or more forcibly shown than it has been since
the armies of Europe began the march of de-
struction that still proceeds. While the United
States is strictly neutral, II has already felt the
shock OF war in disturbed business, and in in
croaSed taxation, and now is asked to pay an
other installment on the total cost in the form
OF higher prices for foodstuffs.
Just another exemplifcation of one of the
many arguments that support the sanity of a
world-peace movement.

Different Kinds of Preaching.
OMAHA, Jan. S.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: / desire to congratulate you for
the editorial appearing in The Bee last
Sunday. 1.-TWO Kinds of Preaching" coh-
trasting the forceful style of Rev. Billy
Sundays preaching to the milder manner
Of some of our regular pastors. I be-
lieve these are matters that ought to be
discussed more than they are in news
papers, and I'm always glad when I
read such articles in The Bee. Tho
writer. to my mind, at least. has his
ear to tho ground. hears the rumbling
and shows that he knows what he is
talking about
There is no question that much of the
preaching today lacks punch land am
a churchman; I'm not knocker OF the
preaoher). Where many OF our pastors
make a mistake, think. is in preaching
"fOr" the people. instead of ito" them
Your editorial related a case of lay
and complaining because he didn't go
after his people more.
Lots Of laymen feel just the same wey.
Why do people go to church? To wor-
ship. But they go also to hear good,
SOUND preaching, not TO be entertained.
They ought to be able to regard their
pastor as the good old folks used to look
on their parson. as the man to point out
the error of their ways and to tell them
how to correct IL. The pastor ought to
be so close to his people. have their con-
fidence and sympathy SO fully. that he
would not be afraid, would not hesitate
to talk to them as plainly as he
wanted to.
More Of the Billy Sunday hit-'em-from-
the-shoulder style is needed. and IL It
wasn't there wouldn't be so much need
or Billy Sunday coming to town. this
town and others. 1 say it's a good thing
for newspaper to discuss these things
provided. Of course. 1t can do so intelli-
gently and from a sympathetic stand
point. A LAYMAN.

OMAHA, Jan. 9--To the Editor OF The
Bee The saving Of fees on tho part OF
the finance commissioner Of the city coun-
Gil for the collection Of city taxes is
really quite amusing when It is known
that under the original water bill the
troasurer's fees for the collection of the
Water boards portion of the city tax was
paid out of the city's general FUND. The
Water boards portion OF the tax was
about 100000. the fee for the collection OF
it $1,000. The present water bill makes no
provision for a fee for the collection of
hydrant rental taxes.
This years city levy. less water, was
81, Sl2, s93.77. Last years levy, less water,
was 81 So, 5e252, a difference of s252. 5eS.75,
with difference in fee for collection Of
t2,5256s. The collection of special taxes
this year was about 10000 less than last
year-fee for collection $500.
So you see the reason that the city paid
less fees this year is because we did less
business for them. Your editorial strikes
the nail sauarely on the head. The geo
graphical subdivisions which use the
treasurer's office should contribute pro
rata to its cost of operation.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 9.-To the Editor
OF The Bee; 1t appears from accounts
in the daily papers there is some sort
of Misunderstanding about the proposed
establishment of a board OF recreation
and welfare in this city. The ordinance
TO create such a board has been pending
in the city council for several weeks.
The only reason it has not been passed
before this Is that the mayor and coun-
cilmen are awaiting the return of Mir.
Stimson. who was brought here by some
organization or group of citizens to make
a survey and outline what he thought
would be about right. He said to the
council at the time he appeared and made
his argument that he would be in Omaha
again early in January II he cannot
come the council Is ready to proceed at
any time.
AS to the appropriation of $4,000 in
the city budget for 1915, IL need only be
said that to create such a board and
then leave II up in the air would be use
less In Kansas City the first appropria-
ton for the board of public welfare was
$4,000, as recall II now, and person
ally I have in many addresses favored
the Kansas City plan. There the board
handles everything that could properly
be placed under its charge. from the
"City Farm" to the supervision of dances,
even to the housing problem. However,
this initial appropriation IN Omaha will
be sufficient to give the new departure
at least fair start; but it must be kept
In mind by all concerned that once it is
started the funds needed will have to be
increased as the work develops, just as
in every similar line OF sociological &C
tivity.

Councilman.

another a recitation, another a ro-

all hOes are mysteries, full of
