Make This Street Fair the Last One.

For every feature, but one, Of the Wonderful
Week just past-which has drawn to US the at
tention of the whole country, every loyal citizen
of Omaha has felt justified pride The single
exception which has called for constant apology
and which is mentioned only with shame, is the
disgraceful street fair with its side-show mon
strosities and dubious demonstrations which in
stead OF being credit, is positive dscredit to
our city.
We know that the Ak-Sar-Ben governors,
themselves take no satisfaction in the street-fair
because their only excuse for continuing it is
that it is revenue producing enterprise and that
they see no other way OF making up the proceeds
with as little effort. We think that excuse, which
is humiliation in itself, finds its answer in the
fact that as money-maker the street fair is
rapidly losing its potency for, on the face of it,
with all the tremendous crowds brought to Omaha
by the semi-centennial celebration, the beautiful
street pageants and the presidents visit but
few thousand more admissions are registered at
the carnival than were registered last year. 1t
is really gratifying to note that the sort OF amuse
ment furnished by the street-fair does not main
tain its popularity nor meet even the test OF box
Office requirements.
So The Bee suggests to the Ak-Sar-Ben board:
Why not make this street fair the last onel Why
Ak-Sar-Ben activitiesl Why not call upon pub
lic-spirited business men to make their parade
fund contributions big enough to cover rcqusi-
tons for that purpose, without being eked out by
hoochie- coochie quarters and paddle wheel dimes?

keeping Us Out Of War"

Driven from other defenses of the incffcc-
tive foreign policy Of the present administration,
the democrats resort to the cry that the presi-
dent has kept us out Of war" True, but so did
every American president for seventy years, save
Lincoln and Mckinley. But in keeping us out
OF war" Mr.. Wilson has found it necessary to
start two little wars, from neither Of which
can the United States extract any consolation
or comfort, and has kept the country continually
on the verge Of a big war by its facilitating
course. At the Omaha Auditorium he said we
would fight, but we must know what we are
fighting for. About the only reason the Ameri-
can people have ever accepted as cause for war
is to redress wilful invasion OF our rights,
or to succor an oppressed and otherwise de-
fenseless people. This is we'll understood and no
special credit can be claimed by an American
executive who holds himself true to these Ameri-
can ideals.
Has Mr.. Wilson maintained the dignity Of the
American nation. and the integrity of American
citizenship We know from his record that he
has not deemed murder of Americans, violation
of American women, destruction Of American
property, and general defiance Of American rights
cause for resentment beyond dispatch Of notes
to offenders, who have given them no heed. We
know that today he is being fouted by the
bigoted Carranza, while the desperate Villa and
Zapata pay no attention to him. What we do
not know is what will be his course in the future
Aside from one Englishman and some Chinese,
Americans were the only foreigners to be MUIR
dcred in Mexico. Carranza. however showed no
respect for the property rights Of Frenchmen,
Germans and other foreigners. These govern
ments are not so deeply engrossed in the Euro
pean war that they can not watch over their
citizens aboard For compensation for dam
ages they have brought their case to Washing
ton this government, under the Monroe doctrine,
having accepted responsibility for the Mexican
anarchists. Protests are just how being vigor-
uosly renewed at the State department We may
be very sure that none of the European govern
ments will abandon their citizens in Mexico, as
ours did. This brings the settlement squarely
home to Us. Either we must satisfy the claims
Of the Europeans, or we must abandon the Mon
roe doctrine, and allow England, France Ger
many and other of the offended powers to deal
with Mexico directly.
This is but one Of the embarrassments brought
to the United States by the wisl,ywashy methods
pursued by the president in his efforts to keep
us out of war, Postponing the settlement will
not make il easier, for the reckoning must be
made up some time.

Thanks for Irish Reyolutionists.

Omaha, Oct. $40 the Editor of

Skipping Two Years Record.

Democratic spellbinders and minnesingers
lightly skip over the first two years Of Presi-
dent Wilson's term in Office and put the loud
pedal on the present-day boom. Jumping from
1912 to 1916. they omit about all that passed
between. For example they do not tell any
body that the o0-cent wheat Of 1912 became
80-cent wheat in 1918, and 70-cent wheat in
1914 All they shout over is the $l.sO wheat
of today, saying nothing Of the fact that il
our democratic senator had had his way, and
the embargo he proposed had been placed on war
supplies, the price of wheat would now be down
to about the point it reached in the good old days
when democracy was arguing for free silver in
order to restore prosperity that had vanished
under its administration of national affairs. The
men who stood in the bread lines in 1915 are not
likely to forget so easily and will hardly be bam-
boozled again by the promises of the free trade
confidence men who pledged themselves in 1912
to lower the cost of living, and are now Boosting
about how they have boosted prices.

Would Widen Harvey Street.

Omaha, Oct. S.-To the Editor of
The Bee: The congestion of traffic on
Harvey street during the busy hours
proves that the street from Twentieth
street west should be widened to 100
feet. The ugly jog at Twentieth street
destroys the beauty of our city. The
property holders on the street are
willing to have this done and the
majority of them wave damages Why
not do this rather than build boule-
wards on the outskirts of town. Har-
ney street today is the finest in the
city, being almost level and having the
most substantial buildings thereon.
