Against the Doctrine Of Hate.

The address OF Viscount Bryce to the Con-
gregationalists at Birmingham is really intended
for consideration Of thoughtful people wherever
found 1t is the profoundly considered utterance
Of thinker whose words are entitled to much
respect Viscount Bryce looks forward to day
when international disputes and differences may
be settled without resort to force, and calls to
our notice again that the leaders Of American
peace, and the particular effort that is being made
to formulate some plan for the enforcement of
peace in the future. Especially does he deplore
the talk that has been INDUCED extensively on
both sides OF the water about extending the con-
hict through a trade war. ITO indulge in re-
venge," he says, will be to sow the seeds of
future wars" In this sentence is the pregnant
warning that has been sounded by philosophers
through the ages, and which has been so little
needed by men in making up their relations with
other men. Happily for the United States, it has
shaped its course along other lines, and has never
been deeply concerned In measures for retaliation
or the pursuit Of vengeance. Such wars as it
has engaged in have been for human rights and
liberties, and not for conquest or revenge. But
the thought also has in it the further warning
that we must be prepared; our splendid isolation
no longer exists, and our intimate connection
with world affairs is such as will certainly in
volve US in whatever OF adjustment comes to the
world, as the result OF the present conflict. No
doctrine OF hate should be permitted to prevail,
but it can only be entirely avoided by the pres
cnce Of great neutral, sufficiently strong to
mand the respectful attention of any opponent
to enduring peace.

Relief for the Syrians.

The report Of the American commission for
the relief OF the Syrians and Armenians is stupe-
flying in its recital Of horrors In days since the
war was extended to ASIA word has come through
OF the fate Of Christians fallen into Turkish
hands, and bit Of the terrible atrocities have
been cited, but this confirmed account exceeds all
so far known. Conditions to be met there now
present but single problem, that Of how to get
relief through to the sufferers. Americans are
eager to give of their plenty to any Of the VIC
tins Of war. Millions OF money already devoted
to this purpose will be followed by other millions,
so long as we may be sure that our bounty is
not being abused and that the supplies reach the
ones who need succor. In this noble work the
American people have been as one, and have
shown their impartial concern for the helpless
in an intensely practical way The reckoning
with the Turk may come later
Omaha daily bee., 1916-10-05

The pleasant duty devolves upon Omaha to-
day to extend the cordial welcome OF Nebraska
to the president OF the United States, who comes
here, together with the mistress OF the White
House, for the celebration of our semi-centennial
of statehood.
As we have said before, all of our citizens rec
ognize and appreciate the Difference due to the
high office occupied by our distinguished guest,
as well as the exceptional personality which has
won for him that honor, and we all greet him,
not as candidate for office, nor as candidate for
reelection, but for what he is himself and as the
chief magistrate of the nation.
The fact that the president brings with him his
estimable wife about whom naturally centers
special interest, makes the visit all the more
notable, and she rightly shares the welcome ac-
corded him. ....
The participation of the president in the ex-
crcses concentrating the completion Of fifty
years of statehood for Nebraska by reviewing the
pageant so carefully prepared to portray the sue
cessive stages Of the states progress and by de-
livering an address dealing with some of the
phases of this progress, elevates the event to
level higher than that of mere statewide impor-
lance and centers the attention Of the whole coun-
try upon US.
We are sure we speak for all of Omaha and
Nebraska when we bid the guests welcome and
express the hope that their visit will be some
thing they will remember with pleasure ever after.

A Triumph for Labor

Labor has won a great victory in the failure
of the sympathetic strike in New York This as
sertion may have the appearance of a paradox,
but we believe it to be simple truth. 1t is a
triumph of nationality over radicalisn. II is
equivalent to declaration that labor itself puts
limit to the use of its organization against the
public welfare and will not be tool in the hands
of leaders animated by self-interest or fired by
mistaken zeal. 1t is declaration that contracts
with labor must have the same force and validity
as any other contracts, and cannot be violated
with IMMUNITY. 1t is declaration that the inter
ests of labor are inseparable from the interests of
the public and that labor destroys itself when it
destroys the sources of its existence. Reason has
prevailed over passion, and right over wrong, as
reason and right always prevails in the end. The
forces OF intelligence led BY such organizations as
the typographical union, which has from the first
stood firmly opposed to the sympathetic general
strike proposed by the New York labor leaders
and approved by Mr.. Gompers, have won and the
result is that instead Of 100000 workers going out
Wednesday and all business in the city being
parative handful has responded to the call and
business Is virtually undisturbed
What would have been the consequences if
the general strike plan had been fully sustained
by the unions? Approximately three-quarters of
million union laborers would have stopped work.
They would have lost in wages, at the very lowest
estimate, 81, 100000 day. But that would have
been a mere pittance compared with the losses
incurred by millions OF innocent people, made to
suffer unjustly by the act of the unions. And
what would have been their gain! Nothing. even
II they had won And they would have acquired
the bitter antagonism Of the public to all union
labor; the public whose sympathy has ever been
union labor's chief support; the public, out of
which comes the sustenance OF all labor And
more They would have violated innumerabIe
solemn contracts and sacrificed all confidence in
their pledges Union labor in New York would
have been discredted and disgraeed, and union
labor throughout the country would have felt the
attitude made definitely and strongly antagonistic
by resentment against such display of organized
tyranny Indeed yes; labor has triumphed against
the enemies within itself who would array it
against the general welfare and make Of it class
inimical to the public good. r

Reform On MARRIAGE
Bishop Samuel Farrews In Chicago Herald.

All along the line OF march taken by woman
toward her destined goal Of complete emancipa-
ton from man made letters lie fragments of the
various rivets and bits OF archaic scrap iron that
once formed part Of her manacles.
The latest to be thus discarded is the old
fashioned word obey" which is about to be for
ever deleted from the marriage service of the
Episcopal church. This measure has been recon-
mended by the official revision committee, body
composed of seven bishops, seven presbyters and
mitted to the general convention OF the church
October II at ST. Louis. / say emphatIcally
Amen to the proposed change
The obligation to obey is out OF date. No
wonder. 1t represents the countless psychological
and physical crimes that have accumulated
through all the ages since man hrst struck his
future life partner on the head with his stone ak
and carried her off to his cave there to toll I'M
protestingly in his service for the remainder OF
her existence. That man established the custom
OF obedience for women, and it has taken the fair
sex all the centuries that lie between to break IT!
When Rome stood at the zenith of its glory
as civilized nation it was lawful for husband
to whip, sell or even kill his wife. Her letters
were still very heavy, you see But the progress
sve woman spirit had begun, and finally advanced
beyond this 10 the time when, under the old Eng
fish law the man could chastise but not kill his
hepmate.
St. Paul has always been quoted as authority
for the subsection of woman in the matter of
the marriage service. But the apostle was doubt
less uninspired in these matters, speaking only
as mortal filled with, the prevailing thought of
his age. 1t is my belief that Shakespeare inter-
pfeted the marriage bond far better in these
words; Companions whose souls do bear an
equal yoke of love-"
have left the word obey" out of the mar
rage service during the entire period of my
ministry, except in certain instances where the
bride has made a special request that it be re.
tanned This has actually occurred but three
time in forty years The obligation to love,
me sufficient.
The church revsionists should go little fur
Their and eliminate from the service on the part
of the man the words with all my worldly goods
thee endow" So often we know the endowment
comes from the woman fact which makes
ridiculous nonsense of his statement.
The Church of England still retains the am
biguous sentence, with my body l thee wor-
ship" Let US have the simple statement, with
this ring / thee we'd"

Seductions of the Swine Show.
Omaha, Oct. 4.--To the Editor OF
The Bee: If the Ak-Sar-Be festivi-
ties keep the people of Omaha from
attending the swine show in South
Omaha It will be regrettable indeed.
We probably do not realize that this
is the greatest swine show ever held
in the world and that If 1t were held
in any country in Europe before or
after the war 1t would, draw visitors
from surrounding countries hundreds
Of miles away.
The hog is the most valuable food
product in the world and the founda-
ton of the wealth of the agricultural
middle west The hog is most inter
esting as the factory that turns the
raw material of corn and alfalfa into
the finished product. To see those
manicured hogs down In South Oma-
ha, unbelievably clean and attractive.
makes one wonder where he got his
undeserved reputation. Those of US
who helped to raise hogs on the farm
are used to a three or four hundred.
pound animal and when we look at
an eleven hundred and fifty pound
hog we can scarce believe our eyes.
Every Omaha father of boy should
take his son to the swine show 1t
is liberal education in what hered-
ity and breeding can accomplish. As
an example of what happens when an
animal really eats enough to make
a hog Sf itself 1t is at the same time
warning to the overfat human who
INDUCES not wisely but too well In
fat-producing foods.
1t might be well for our society
women who are so anxious to follow
the English fashion in golf. tennis and
afternoon tea to also take an inter-
est in high bred stock as their Eng
fish sisters do.
To make Omaha the permanent
swine show town of the world will be
worth more in dollars and cents to
Omaha and the farming community
than anything we have ever attempt
ed! Every patriotic Omaha citizen
should see the swine show at least
once. +. L. HALLER.
