The AutomobIIe situation.

TnC AuNOmOnhAe SITUATION
OMAHA, Aug. 2.-ro the Editor of The
Bee; There seems to be so much apparent
difficulty thrown around the regulation
OF automobile operation in the cities, in
GLIDING Omaha, that a word on the sub
ject might not be out of place.
The automobile. including the jitney
bus, has come to stay. They are a part
of the development Of rapid transit, but
they should be regulated and this regula-
ton should be made entirely for the safe
~ OF the community. There Is no reason
why a Jitney should be required TO con-
form TO a regular schedule more than
that any other automobile should be made
to so conform. II the jitneys are to be of
the greatest service TO the community
they should be permitted to run as the
person being carried desires. That this
may make them more popular with the
public should be no affair OF the regll-
latory powers and II they are successful
competitors with the street cars It will
only be repetition OF the competition
between the railroad train and the stage
coach.
However. all automobiles should be reg
uiated ana their operation so conducted
that the minimum of danger may exist
~ lew AAlOuNnD ago 4 buDlllltcQ 10 one
OF the former city commissioners a plan
which believe will materially decrease
danger and at the same time make pos
sible more rapid movement OF automobiles
within the city limits. This plan. briefly
Is to set aside certain streets for the
operation OF automobiles, giving such
vehicles the right Of way over such
streets and prohibit the operation OF them
on other streets except between the per-
mitted street and tho point OF destina-
tion. Omaha IL fortunately situated for
the adoption Of such a plan. There are
no car tracks on Howard street west OF
Twentieth. Douglas west of Fourteenth,
Capitol avenue. and north and south OF
these streets there are few II any places
where there are car tracks on immedi-
ately parallel streets. The thirteenth and
the Fifteenth street lines are lightly
operated and west OF Twenty-fourth
street there Il no cross track until For
tieth street IL reached. The continuous
operation of automobiles could easily be
barred from the streets containing street
car tracks. except thirteenth ana Fiji
teenth and Harvey east OF TWentisth,
permitting them to run on these streets
from the nearest permitted cross street

Another Esperanto Enth usiast.
OMAHA, Aug. ITO the Editor OF
The Bee: In one respect / am like
Diego c. Corios-I know nothing about
"Monoglot"
He says some very nice things about
Esperanto. the international auxiliary
language, but prefscing the same with
an III"
can assure him the 'ir' is unneces-
sary. Here Is concrete example Of
the shortness of the time in which one
can learn the fundamentals OF this truly
wonderful language.
A young man wrote me a long letter in
Esperanto nine days after receiving an
instruction book-the first knowledge he
had OF such language being in ex-
istence.
Here is also an illustration Of the pres
ent standing OF Esperanto in the world
today.
The Germans. whose efficiency all
must acknowledge whatever our sym
pathies in the present contest. have
adopted Esperanto as the language in
which to give their side of the story of
the great war. and are sending their Of
ficial war reports, bulletins and mag
azines to delegates throughput the world,
whose names appear in the Esperanto
year book. They began this very early
in the warm August or September of
last year.
In April OF this year the French also
began sending out their side of the story
in Esperanto.
In this world crisis no other language
has received such an indorsement-an
Endorsement that speaks louder and car
ries more weight than ali the Ndjectives
I have at my command.

no War Dol CauaeIess.

No War Il CRuSeless.
PLATTSMoUTI, Neb.. Aug. 26.-To
the Editor Of The Bee: The conflict
now raging In Europe has been de-
scribed as ''The Causeless War" but
since no one would be bold enough to
lay the blame for such an unholy situa-
ton upon an over-ruling providence. 1t
must find its origin IN acts for which
man. and man alone. is responsible.
1t is not q race war; on the contrary,
the races are quite inexplicably mixed.
Latin joins Saxon; the Frank is the
ally of the Slav; while in the opposing
ranks Teuton and Turk fight side by
side.
Neither is in a religious war. On the
Bosphorus the cross and the crescent
make common cause; Protestant kaiser
and Catholic emperor have linked their
fortunes together and hurl their veteran
legions against an army in which are
Unfortunately mingled communicates
of the Greek church, of the Church of
Rome and OF the Church of England.
Nor yet is It rivalry between fam
lilies. The leading actors in this unpre-
cedented tragedy are related by blood,
but kinship seems to be a negligible fac
tor-it explains neither friendships nor
enmities
No; race, religion and family each
with many wars to answer for, can
plead not guilty in the present inquiry.
What then was the cause? II we have
correctly analysed the situation, the war
IL the natural, result Of a false philosophy.
. The fundamental precept Of this false
philosophy II that might makes right"
II Is not proclaimed now as loudly as IL
once was, but It Is often acted upon in
particular cases by those who would be
unwilling to endorse Il as a general
principle.
Today we plead with the American
people against war with Germany; to-
morrow, II q similar condition arises
and we are brought near to war with
England. or France or Russia, we shall
plead as earnestly against war with any
OF these nations. In any nation anxious
to get into trouble with US? No, not
one OF these belligerent nations desires
war with the United States They arc
so mad with each other they forget that
there Is anybody else in the world.
No one can speak for all the people.
but II each one speaks for himself the
voice OF the people will be heard. and.
being heard. will save this nation from
the possibility of war and keep 1t In
such a position of neutrality as will
enable 1t to perform its highest mission
of mediator to the warning nations ana
peacemaker for mankind.
To prevent Brother Blxby. Editor Ed
gar Howard or Richard L. Metcalfe and
others from accusing us with writing
the above merely to get our name in the
