PRODUCE MARKET

No price changes were suggested by
the situation ln the produce market
this morning. Poultry has cleaned up
completely, and with a good demand
the market Is firm at the last advance
Trade in dressed poultry has been
rather light on account OF the soft
weather and while there is no pressure
from large offerings there Is a ten
dency 10 shade prices rather than miss
sale. Rabbits are not moving on ac-
accommodating. Dressed calves are hrm
dressed hogs are easy and potatoes
are dull and steady.

A FRIENDS GREETING.

Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press.
ia like to be the sort of friend that You
have been to me,
I'd like to be the help that you've been
always glad to be,
I'd like to mean as much to you each
minute OF the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.
ia like TO do the big things and the
spendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;
I'd like to say the kind things that 1 30
oft have heard
And feel that could rouse your soul the
way that mine you've stirred.
ia like to give you back the soy that
you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need I hope
will never be:
ia like to make you feel as rich a. !,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you
to lean upon.
I'm wishing at this Christmas time that
/ could but repay
A portion of the gladness that you've
etrewn along my way,
And could / have one wish this year,
this only would be:
I'd like to be the sort OF friend that you
have been to me.

v;otor r Caldwell.

The news Of the death OF Victor B. Caldwell
came as distinct shock to the community
wherein he had spent his life and in whose bust
ness and social affairs he had been so long a
prominent actor To his close associates, the un-
welcome knowledge for several days that his con-
dition was hopeless, sad and stunning. Mr..
Caldwell had been so long and so intimately as
soc'ated with the commercial and industrial de-
velopment OF Nebraska and the west. that his
demise will be a source Of regret to a circle Of
friends that is practically nationwide. Unob-
trusive in manner and reserved in speech, Mr..
Caldwell was a business man OF the highest
type; conservative, but courageous. and ami
mated always by the Give and let live" principle.
His success was a tribute to his ability. AS head
Of one of the great banks Of the west. at time
when his fuller manhood and ripper judgment
were being brought TO the affairs of the institu-
ton. his promise for the future was encourag
ing not only TO Omaha, but to the whole world of
business, in which he had already assumed a
leaders position. His taking off is distinct
loss. not alone to the community, but to the west

Prodding the British Lion.

with the armies at the front at a standstill
or retreating, and the politicians at home in
moro or less active ebullitIon these certainly
unpleasant days for that noblest of all beasts,
the British lion. The occasional twists to HIS
tail given by American newspapers are the least
Of his present-day annoyances The matter has
more serious side, however, AMI indicates
something Of the great problem that is being
worked out by the English people.
Attacks by the Tory press on the liberal mem
bers Of the coalition government are significant
only as verification of what has heretofore been
surmised. The people of England are moving
more than ever rapidly towards condition Of
true democracy, and with the progress of war,
the lines between class and mass are likely to
be totally expunged. The tory element realiz-
ing this probability, is concentrating its fire
on Premier AsQuith. pretending to hold him re-
sponsible for the failure OF British arms to
achieve greater results. Asquith may. perhaps.
be chargeablo with plumbers in the conduct OF
the government since the beginning of the war.
but these mistakes have been political and not
military. For example he has consented b the
retention of Sir Edward Grey at the head of the
foreign office, although the course pursued by
this minister has been one that so far has
brought only disappointment to British diplo-
macy. and has diverted what might have been
brilliant achievements from their course and
turned them into practical defeat. Grey's course
in dealing with the United States has been such
as to thoroughly try the patience of the people of
both countries, while his maneuvers in the Bal
kans and with Turkey were so easily turned
aside by the diplomats OF the central powers as
to make Sir Edwards planning seem the under
taking of tyro.
The present onslaught OF the tory press
against the liberal premier may serve for time
to obscure public vision and hide the real facts,
but the future is certain to disclose the truth.
| so far at present is discernible the tories
have little to their credit in connection with
f, Great Britain's share in this world struggle.

l.paniel Come % Judgment.n

The congress- OF the United States may now
resume it's active consideration of the problems
before It, relieved from any doubt or apprehen-
sion and consequent indecision, because of the
unknown attitude of Congressman Dan v.
Stephens Daniel has come to judgment on the
presidents plan for defense, and with true demo-
cratic caution. he proposes to steer middle
course. He will not take sides with the big-navy
or the little-navy people, nor will he throw the
weight OF his favor for or against large army.
Dan" will be satisfied with middle-sized navy
and a middle-sized army. Along with this mo-
mentous decision, he has also determined his
action as TO the proper disposition Of the Philip
pines. He is willing to dispose of the islands to
the highest bidder for cash in hand with the
least possible delay. Having thus settled two
OF the most important questions to be dealt with
by congress. Daniel is now well in line to face
the voters OF the Third district in his quest for
denomination. 1t will take considerable effort
on the part Of our good friend Edgar Howard
TO over-balanee this master-stroke OF the incum-
bent, and may result IN Edgar removing his eyes
from the dome at Washington and centerlng his
gaze on the historic pile at Lincoln.
