Speaking of the Blue Moon reminds
of how much greater is the enjoyment
of dining az some weird or fantasti-
caily named teahouse or lodge than at
a mere place where one stops to dine.

weather and constant rumors from
Long Branch of activities about
Shadowlawn. which point to an early

While the President and Mrs Wilson
went the round of the golf course at a

laughed at their water-soaked clothes,
Newport society folk abandoned the

the game into a great dinner party in

 The causes of the European war, the President said, are not plainly known.

 But Europe should understand us" he said. We are holding off because when we use the force of this nation we want to know what we are using it for.
 "rhere is as mucK fight in America as in any other nation in the world.
 "We want always to hold the force of America to fight for the rights of mankind, not for the rights of prop erty. But in fighting for these things, we should know what the tombstone is. We must have absolute allegiance to America. We must be truly Amer 1can. The rights of humanity are the essence of freedom.

 which it is carried on is not only o1 no. concern to the lawmakers, but the
 bigger the scale the more splendid the
 result-a1ways provided it is conducted
 with fairness and honor and openness
 Therefore, an attempt was very prop
 erly made to define what was fair and
 what was unfair competition; to pro-
 vide tribunals which would distinctly
 determine what was fair and what we unfair competition, and to supply
 the business community not merely
 with lawyers in the different depart
 ments of justice who would cry stop
 but with men in such tribunals as the Federal Trade Commission who would
 say go on,' who could warn where things were going wrong and assist instead of check.
 Some of these days when the great
 tides of business are running free in this country you will look back upon the last three years and say, That was when the channels were dug for
 this great time.' AS compared with
 the verdict of the next 25 years, do not care a peppercorn about the yer dict of 1916, because know how those
 laws were conceived.
 T know their purpose and know they are a1redy serving their purpose and recall you to witness that never before in your lifetime was credit so
 individually available in this country as at this time. Individual credit-not
 cornered credit-credit that could be had if you had assets and good con- mercia1 paper, credit that could be had without favor, credit to which the vol tune of currency would instantly re- suond, credit which could be sustained by resources, by gold reserves which | could be mobilized anywhere in the country. A Business Emancipation. America is to be congratulated
 upon having achieved a business emancipation. Now it is up to you men, and 1t is up to all business men in the United States, to make some thing of it, and if it cannot be made
 something of in this part of the coun- try, in parts of the country where like this, men have been accustomed
 to taking care of themselves, have
 been accustomed to planting States
 and cities and making communities tell them with all the force of their intelligence, it cannot be done any where.
 You are less trammeled in this part of the country, than business men anywhere else. and it should be your pride and your distinction that the
 future will realize as it never realized before the genius of American initia- tive.

 Wealth Poured Upon Us.
 "Sometimes we deceive ourselves said the President, "by thinking that the commerce of recent years has chiefly consisted in exports stimulated by the war. It will be worth your while to look into the figures. Our have been about in this proportion: An increase in exports during these years, of some two thousand millions expressed in dollars. And an increase in the national wealth of forty-one thousand millions-twenty times the increase of our exports.
 "Can an increase in our exports of two thousand millions produce so stu pendous an effect as to multiply itself twenty times in our national wealth The fact is, that the world has poured it's wealth upon us by reason of the fact that we are at last waking up to the fact that the world has need of the wealth that we possess and that, therefore, the real business of legisla- ton is to release these forces and to see to it that impediments new or old shall not be placed in the way.
 That is the reason it has been the studious endeavor of recent years to see to it that business men got rid of that the law was intended to restrain them and not intended to serve them.
 'Take the antitrust laws for ex- ample. Until very recently, I venture to say, most American business men spoke of the antitrust laws with a curse under their breath-just as men think of shackles; just as men think of being deprived of opportunity. And we heard a great deal of talk about big business getting no sympathy. But bad business ought not to have had any sympathy and what our laws stood in need of was the definition of what was good and what was bad. What they stood in need of was a dis tinct expression of the idea that was back of them.
 Not Question of Size.
 That idea is merely this-unfa1r competition is intolerable. But if the

 President Leads Parade.
 At the conclusion of the luncheon
 the President and members of the
 party entered motor cars and led the
 historical parade through the princi.
 pal streets of the city. The President
 was compelled to stand up in his car ] most of the time, his silk hat off, and | acknowledging the cheers that rose | in a mighty volume from one end o1 ! the line of parade to the other. After
 ward, from a reviewing stand in front
 of the court house, the President wit
 messed the parade.
 The successive stages of the history of the West was picturesquely sci | forth by 5000 persons and 2,2O00 floats. There were real Indians, deck ed out in a full panoply of war paint head dresses, blankets, beads and all the trappings of native costumes lSquaws waddled in the line of march
 with their pappooses strapped on their backs. One old timer made a hit with
 the President by calling out, Hello Woodrow The President retorted
 with a laughing Hello, sport"
 The show reached its apotheosis in a succession of floats showing the Ne
 braska wilderness transformed into a
 land of peace and prosperity.
 From the viewing stand the Presi-
 dent was taken by motor car to the
 live stock show. to which 21 Western
 states had sent their best products One of the features of the show was an exhibition of swine. One of the swine that had apparently prospered under the Democratic administration

 Wild Tumult at Night
 At o'clock the President was the guest of honor at banquet at the
 Fontenelle Hotel by the Nebraska His. torical Society. The President made a short address of a historical charac. ter. He wound up his stay in Omaha by making a public speech at the audi. torium to an audience of 5000 people The audience addressed was wild. ly demonstrative one. It cheered him for ten minutes. shouted words o1 praise at him and sang patriotic songs

in which he and Mrs. Wilson joined. The latter, in a gown with silver jet trimmings was cheered separately. What's the matter with Mrs. Will son ?" demanded a leather-lunged oc- upant of the gallery.
 "Oh. Oh, Oh! She's all right" came the answer from several parts of the large audience.
 "Hurrah for our eight-hour Presi- dent! Hurrah for the President of Peace!" and predictions that he would be the next President were some of the salutations shrieked at him. 'Who kept us out of war;" and "Who don't need shaver" thundered in one word, wilson"
 Gov. Moorehead, who presided, in- troduced the President as tour good President"
 The President had to stay the tu- mutt with his arms before he could get hearing. He expressed his grat- ifioaton at the reception given to him during the day and night. He thrilled his audience with tribute to the sp:r- it of the West spread before the eyes of the world He instanced his famil- iarity with the history of the devel- opment of the territory adjacent to the Missouri by a narration of the in- fluepces that had contributed tc it, that held his audience spellbound. He drew a comparison between the condi- tions of the people of the United States and those of the people of Eur opean countries.
 Since 1890, when internal frontiers in the United States disappeared, the President declared, America has talk en on a new aspect and the Nation has been growing closer together. It was no o>coincidence, he said, that soon afterward interest was shown in Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico.
 Ever since then" he continued, i've have been caught inevitably in the net of the politics of the world, therefore I want to discuss our con- nection with the rest of the world at present and in the future.
 '"These great central plains are un- like either coast" he declared, adding that on the Pacific Coast many ru- mors are heard of troubles in the Or lent, while oh the Atlantic Coast the influences of Europe are sometimes felt.
 "Tn order to carry out a program you must have unification of spirit in America" he continued. There can be no program without a unified course behind 1t.
 'It Is very important that states men of othsr nations should under stand America We have held of from the condagration in Europe be- cause we wanted to play different part"

Talk That Hurts

The most insidious attack that
can be made on the character of
a person is that sneaking way of
spreading a story on the authori-
ty of another, and at the same
time processing not to believe it
yourself.
People should learn not to be-
lieve these things which men
and women will not say and take
the responsibility of saying.
When words are spoken against
any one by irresponsible.
thoughtless people, it is the duty
of those of us who try to be fair,
to discount what is said until
some proof is actually given or
some responsible person accepts
the authorship of the story,
Before repeating anything
that is doubtful learn who the
author is and nine times out of
ten after learning who started
the rumor flying first you will

Unforeseen Accidents

Two true types of near acci-
dents are mentioned in a recent
issue of the National Safety
council. One can be made harm
less by proper safeguards; the
other type is seemingly unfor-
seeable, and unpreventable. The
first is the bursting grinding
wheel, which Injuries no one be-
cause of the use of safety fianges.
The second WAS an actual acci-
dent in a manufacturing plant,
in which the head of a sledgte-
hammer, long in use, broke in
two lengthwise and flew off vio-
lently, narrowly missing a mans
head. In this instance there
was no flaw visible on the out
side of the hammer head, and
although the surface of the
break showed the rust of time,
all along it's edges was a narrow
margin of clean gray metal.

The Women To Blame

A lot of old snoozers who never
would have given the women a
vote anyhow, are now grouching
because the women elected Wilson.
Frinstance. The women voted in
Illinois wnere Hughes got zoo, 600
more votes than Wilson. They
voted in Oregon, where Hughes
peat Wilson. They did not vote
In Ohio, where Wilson beat
Hughes, but Ohio is the same
kind of a state that Illinois is.
They didn't vote in Nebraska.
where Wilson beat Hughes,
though Nebraska is the same kind
of a state as Iowa, where Hughes
beat Wilson, or as Kansas, where
Wilson beat Hughes.
Laying the blame for things
when they 60 wrong on the wo-
men is an old, old game. Adam
started it, and we fear that a lot
of innocent looking Bull Moosers,
who are looking in the other direc-
tion with all their might and
main, are trying to attract atten-
tion to the women in order to di-
vers it from themselves. William

Another Viewpoint

Republican papers, says an ex'
change, are laying stress upon the
fact that Hughes came very near
ly beating Wilson, thereby trying
to make it appear that Wilson's
victory was not such an accom-
plishment, after all. The narrow
margins by which Wilson carried
New Mexico, North Dakota, New
Hampshire and California are
cited in support of this view.
There Is another viewpoint.
Mr.. Wilson came very nearly be-
ing the worst beaten Republican
presidential candidate who ever
went into a campaign against only
one opponent. Complete returns
show Hughes carried eight states
with a total of G1 electoral votes
by pluralities less than 1000. The
tabulatiOn is:
