People and Events

One of the pioneer brides Of the plains passed
away in the death of Mrs. Julatha Ann Richard
son, 90, at Junction City, Ore. She was married
on the trip across the plains in l848 and home
steaded in Oregon. Fifty-one descendants sur
vive her.
A California professor told his class Of male
students that spooning is a waste OF time and
that men should seek beauty of the soul rather
than of the skin. An impairment youngster
asked how beauty OF soul could be measured
without smuggling up and caused the professor
to switch the subject
score Of women and several men who
loaned money to, or endorsed the notes of Annie
E. Sharpley, Just naturally came together in
Chicago court to look over evidence of debts
totalng $4,000. Miss Sharpley is chicken
farm plunger, AN energetic woman OF disarmng
simplicity" and, demure gms. The pen-picture
ability to borrow money without security. One
woman friend advanced $4,000.
The freak better PERSISTS in spots. At Findley
o., a woman sport did the wheelbarrow act for
the winner. Another Ohio loser at Loran walked
twenty-one blocks clad in bathing suit and straw
hat. An Indiana man shaved off one side OF his
mustache. and Illinois man at Pana cooled
his disappointment by jumping into well. One
admrer of socialism in New York proposes to
let his beard grow until Benson is elected presi-
dent. and ncighbor OF J. Frank Hany promises
to remain dry until J: Frank hangs his hat in the
White House. So the saving grace of political
humor brightens the gloom.
The outcome of judicial inquiries into the
whereabouts OF the fortune Of Edward w. Nor
rson, Chicagos millionless millionaire confirms
early suspicious. Morrison was trimmed for S.
100000 and is considered bankrupt All kinds
of people OF the crooked world worked on the
senile pioneer and knocked off chunks. The big
gest job of all was put up by his alleged attorney
and reputcd guardian, James r. Ward, who Sc
questered $2,000,000 worth of Morrisons real
and is reaching for other crooks with the object
of making them disgorge.
Omaha daily bee., 1916-11-20

The suggestion OF President Wilson that the
farmers raise such crops as will overwhelm the
middleman when he undertakes to manipulate
prices is the easy advice OF an amateur economist.
1t is hard, even with his record before US, to be-
lievc the president meant what he said to the
Changers. Certainly those practical men OF agri-
culture, who for the last forty-eight years have
been devotng the closest OF study to the solution
of the middleman question, were not deeply I'M
pressed by the words so glbly uttered. Recent
experience rises up to confute Mr.. Wilson's pro-
posal. In 1914 moderate crop was sold at
record low prices of recent years; in 1915 a
bumper crop went off at record high prices, only
exceeded by the exorbitant figures now quoted
Not in many years has the supply Of food animals
been so plentiful as at present, nor were prices
ever so high. 1t will take something more than
liberal supply to put the middleman out Of BUSH
ness The Changers. with their cooperative SELL
ing and buying, have not been able in more than
generation Of well-direeted effort to make much
of an impression on the system. 1t is all very
web for the president to jolly them along If he
can, but these men know something Of conditions,
and they know the cause lies deeper than is in
Dictated by the suggestion. Price manipulation
is not to be controlled by mere precept 1t may
not be impairment to inquire why Mr.. Wilson did
not suggest law to regulate dealings in "fu-
lures" in grain and other food supplies, such as
was passed to stabilize the price Of cotton?

Greater Lincoln Consolidation.

Following the lead Of omahas merger with
South Omaha. Dundee and adjoining suburbs,
Lincoln is agitating for the annexation Of the SUI
burban settlements that are an integral part Of that
community yet outside Of the present municipal
limits. With this ambition Of our Capital City
friends we are in full accord, but we will be in
terested observers Of the maneuvers to secure the
necessary enabling legislation.
VIII it be "foreible annexation" down there or
will it be consolidation only with the consent OF
the governed" We remember the tender solici-
tude Of certain Lincoln statesmen for fear few
South Omaha pie-biters might have their offices
extinguished by merger with Omaha without due
consideration OF their wishes and demands for per-
petual segregation The merger scheme finally
put through by Omaha, we admit, was nothing
but gauzy cloak for forcible attachment, yet it
was the only way to do the job and we commend
it to our Lincoln friends If they find their worthy
project blocked by similar obstacles that stub
bornly refuse to listen to reason"

Cost Of Running for Office.

Publication Of campaign expense accounts may
afford moralists opportunity for speculation, and
give to economists occasion for study, but to the
lay reader they will convey little impression be-
yond the fact that politics is peculiar game, and
that running for Office is not to be lightly con-
sidered by anyone who is not provided with a
long purse. The old-tmers will find some justi-
hcation in the figures given. In days gone by it
was popular practice after each election to
accuse one or the other Of the contestants of
making an inordinate expenditure Of money. Put-
chased votes were always alleged no matter
which side won. Now. with laws to fix limits
on expense, we find that sums Of money that
would have made the elder generation of politi-
clans gasp are paid out in discharge of bills for
purposes admittedly legitimate. Candidates find
that running for Office costs about all the place
is likely to bring in return, and that recompense
must be sought in the glory that comes through
serving ones country. Election expense bills pro-
vide most eloquent argument for better methods
OF choosing our officers, one Of which will be
found in the shorter ballot

Why a Water Board?

Approps of the short ballot movement this
question suggests ITSELF why a water boards"
If there is any part OF our local government
where the so-called general manager system can
be successfully applied, it is to the administration
and operation of a municipal water plant. The
fact is, though we have nominal water board,
the work is now all done by the general manager
subject only to perfunctory approval by his col
leagues. For whatever has been accomplished, to
Mr.. Howell, and to no one else, belongs the credit,
and for any shortcoming upon him belongs the
blame. 1t may be safely taken for granted that
the present general manager will continue to run
the water works just as we'll, IL not better, than
he has in the past with or without the assistance
or hindrance OF a water board. s,'
In no other city in the country with pos
sibly two or three exceptions) is separate water
board maintained like ours but, on the contrary
water works practice and experience generally
favors putting one man in charge with full au-
thority and letting him be responsible for results
IL the five other members OF the board are
superfuous, why then burden ourselves with
clectng themi Why not do away with the extra
water district ballot and the needless names voted
on every two yearsl

GEORGE P. WILKINSON.
Plea to Forget Party differences.

Crete, Neb., Nov. 18.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Now that the election Is
over with and we are to enjoy four
more years Of democratic adminfstra-
ton, review Of the campaign DOPE.
and its effect on sentiment, at home
and abroad, would seem to be in
order
Any intelligent person, with ono
grain of horse sense, knows that the
high cost of Wilson" is not due to the
present Underwood tariff, but is
caused by the increased demand for
our products abroad; and the shortage
in this years crops. We wonder IL
our revered friend at Silver Creek
will be able to stand the existing con-
ditions for another four years?
But as to the sentiment abroad that
has been created by this recent cleo
ton. Are the people of war-stricken
Europe too busy to think Of America,
and the United States? The policy of
the present administration, with Its
successful in its foreign relations, and
we as a nation, are to be con-
graduated upon having the services
of Woodrow Wilson for another term.
The divided front and lack of con-
fidence, that would have been shown
by a republican success, would have
caused a mighty reaction at home and
abroad
AS united Americans. and one peo-
pie, let us support the present adj
ministration, forget party differences
and petty dislike, and help to keep the
United States, peaceful, benevolent,
and honorable nation.

Looking After the Lame Ducks.

President Wilson is back in Washington, max
ing plans for his immediate future, part of which
will have to do with caring for those Of his
party followers who fell outside the trenches in
the late engagement Quite few distinguished
democrats will not answer when the roll is
called in the next congress- and, pursuing a prece-
dent set in the case of Chairman ~Jimmy" Hay
OF the house committee on military affairs, the
president will have to make provision for their
welfare. This may explain why he has delayed
naming the tariff commission, the shipping
board, the board to handle workmen's compensa-
ton and number OF other places into which he
will be happy to bestow deserving democrats"
He has intimated his intention to push his pro-
gram for legislation, that it may be all out Of the
way before the new congress comes in with its
republican domination, If not control This,
therefore. is notice to those who will write for
mer' along with their names in days to come
that the president will expect nothing but loyalty
from those who arc looking for Jobs Otherwise
they may have 10 go to work

As to Churches in Politics.

Silver Creek, Neb., Nov. 1S.-To the
Editor of The Bee: In his letter on re-
ligion in politics, Franklin A. Shotwell
says some excellent things which can
not be too often repeated, but in one
or two things rather overshoots the
mark.
1t is scarcely true to say the con-
stitution of the United States was
built upon the foundation of religious
liberty; that was only one stone. An
other stone in that foundation is the
principle of three great coordinate
departments of government--legisla
tive, executive and judicial--but the
structure of the government still sur
wives, Notwithstanding that since
March 4, 1913, the legislative depart
ment, to all intents and purposes, has
been absorbed by the executive. think
it will continue to survive for four
years more, when, l trust we shall
be able to elect as president some
level-headed citizen, content to Keep
within constitutional limitation. and
a congress of men who will have
patriotism enough and virility
enough to see that he does that
whether he wants to or not
But when Mr.. Shotwell objects to
raising religious issues in politics and
says we should treat as traitors to
our government those who desire for
political reasons to array the men,
bers of one religion against those of
another" he is treading on absolute
ly solid ground. But If that be true, we
should also treat as traitors those who
desire for religious reasons to array
politically the members of all, or
ralieytpuc a o. OF those pf M
ligion; for, under the constitution one
citizen has just precisely as good a
right to no religion as another citizen
has a right to any religion. In either
case, 1t is injecting religion into pol
itics. place where it has no>right to
be- whether the purpose be to benefit
politics or to benefit religion.
The Protestant churches. alias the
Anti-Saloon league, alias the Dry Fed
Grafton, with possibly a few exceptions,
arrayed themselves together in sup
port Of the prohibition amendment
and against the non-church people
n-church in the sense that in their
opposition to the amendment, they.
quite unlike their opponets, did not
make religion an issue, either openly
or covertly. OF course many church
people were against the amendment,
and many non-church people for it,
but such were the exception and not
the rule.
IL anyone deny, let me ask, how it
happened, that they worked together
at all as churches. (The term DRY
Federation" is a misnomer; honestly
the organization should have been
called the DRY Church Federation").
l would further cite the fact that the
AntiSaloon league have said Of them
selves that theirs was a church work:
that the saloon was in their way; that
they wanted freer field IL they had
to fight for it." Il quote from mem
ory.) Finally. as quite conclusive on
this point, call attention to the fact
Omaha daily bee., 1916-11-20
Blue and Khoki;

In passing way, and only on proper occa-
sion, we have called attention to the fact that the
khaki uniform is less inspiring than the blue used
to be- in crowds which line the streets as soldiers
and "Old Glory" go by. There is enthusiasm,
OF course, but it is for the fighting men and not
Tor the drab uniforms they wear. There is
nothing in the khaki to reflect single one Of
the hues in the flag that floats above the march
ing column, Nor does khaki any better reflect
the predominant color in the British flag, which
the old-fashoned red coat, with all its faults
and dangers. certainly did.
We are glad to find so high an authority as
General Bell OF the United States army express
ing the view that khaki has its bad points He
says that, because khaki was adopted for the
reason that il does not show dirt easily, too
many men OF the line prone to let dirt accu-
mu'atc on il. and contrasts that tendency with
the. one prevailing among the boys in blue. in
earlier years. to keep their uniforms free OF all
dirt and splotchcs. He broadly hints, too, that
the men like the old uniform better than the
new, as shown IN their admiration OF their Of
hcers, and even Of the United States marines,
who still cling TO the blue and braid
II was urged at the time the change was
made. and as the particular reason for making
it. that the dull drab OF khaki affords much bet
ter protection against enemy attack than the
brighter blue. This objection may have had
force at time when contending armies came
noitering in force was still possible and frequent
Under the new conditions of fighting. with long
range weapons. and with acroplane scouting
service making sudden attack impossible, the
weight OF that argument against the colored
uniform would appear to be considerably re-
duccd AT any rate. the blue might be used on
dress parade. and generally in times OF peace,
even il il is thought necessary for the troops
to don neutral colors in time OF war. We hazard
the guess that, with the boys put back in blue
when they are recalled from the border the re-
cruitng officers and agencies would find enlist
ments much more numerous than they are 6nd-
ing them now.
