Is Money to Be Cheaper?

Unless changed by new war conditions the
most significant fact facing the coming building
season in Omaha is the cheapness and abundance
of money and the dearness of building material
It is condition never before experienced. Usu-
ally the reverse has been the case. To large
extent one offsets the other and results in a
structve situation as near normal as the world
uphcaval permits. This is due to the action of
leading savings and loan associations which have
announced reductions in interest rates from &C
per cent to straight 6 per cent. In many ways
this is the most important step mutual assoca-
tions have taken since their birth in Omaha thirty
three years ago. Reductions have been progress
sive in that period, but never before have they
reached the standard Of money cost prevailing
among eastern associations. II means substan-
tial saving for borrowers Of $2s,0O0,0O0 of home
money employed in home getting and the general
upbuilding Of Omaha Moreover the interest rate
is down to stay. Other loaning agencies may
advance terms conditions justify. When asso-
Citations reduce rates there is no return route, no
possible come back" Consequently the reduced
rate fixes the maximum cost of money for first
class loans in Omaha for all future years.

E PLURIBUS UNUM.

The United States is the most cosmopolitan
people on earth-the one important nation of the
world whose inhabitants are hux of the people
of all other lands.
At the same time, the United States is the
most notable example Of the complete union Of
diverse population elements-of old-world sons
and daughters remade into true Americans and
rencarnated with single inspiration OF devotion
to liberty and to their common country.
The most noteworthy, but in no way remark
able feature Of the present crisis is the spontan
eous and unanimous response from every state in
the union and from every corner Of the country,
backing the president in the course Of action he
has taken to maintain the nations honor and
rights as neutral The pledge Of loyalty to
America first may be uttered in many tongues,
but the words all have the same meaning.
When it comes to stand against foreign
aggression, political differences are sunk and
partisanship laid aside. There is no demarcation
by nationality, or creed. There is no north, no
south, no east no west Of territorial division.
The American motto is not a mere high
sounding phrase, but living fact-"E Pluribus
Unum"

A Smokeless Pipe Dream.

The first faint whiffs OF reform foreshadowing
smokeless nation feck the distant horizons Of
Nebraska and Kansas. King Nicotine is tagged
for fall. Tobacco must go. That much is a
future probability. An impossible task, some will
say. Millions said as much when this dry move
ment started on its atefu squirt twenty years ago.
With the experience gained in that sweep the
and forces to smoke out the smokers and forcibly
rescue them from the nicotine demon.
Nebraska craftsmanship approaches the bull
warks Of tobacco somewhat gingerly being con-
tent, as a starter, with bill driving cigarets out
OF dining rooms. Kansas craftsmanship strikes at
the roots OF the habit in way admitting of no
compromise short Of herding smokers in public
smoke houses. The Kansas measure prohibits
smoking in all public places, from highways to
halls and vehicles, and forbids the indulgence in
ones home. As means of taperng off, COM
munities are authorized to establish smoke
houses, where smokers may congregate and
smoke up without limit
The fate OF these measures is of little conse-
quence at this moment. They are interesting
chiefly as forerunners OF coming events calcu-
lated to sprout pin-feathers in the concealed
wings Of mankind. Progress in that direction
may be slow Still, it is possible even now to
visualize happy home minus the pipe, stag
banquet bereft of a smoke cloud, smokeess
lodge meeting enjoying fresh air, or gathering

The sun may rise in splendor or in gloom,
The flowers droop, or in their beauty bloom,
The great trees spread their green boughs all

Or darkness cloud the fair face OF the night;
All things may change that human lips can

Great wars may rage on land, meath the

Filling the hearts of Nations with despair;
Rivers their streams run thick with human

And devastation cities sweep, and flood:

Customs may change; cen women gain the

And time may come when Man sees, with

But whate'er comes, II famine, flood or

Men live and die, young people love and

Old parties pass, and new ones take their

Be swept away for better ones, though new;
Though some oppose, others the truth pro-

Shafts Aimed at Omaha

Hay Springs News: The Commercial club

however that they are better able to take care
OF themselves than many others who are out Of
employment

Nebraska City Press: A grand jury is at work
in Omaha trying to locate some OF the spots Of
evil we country folks like to talk about. One
thing to get its attention is the run,or that GER

where liquor has been sold Illegally The grand

out for it before it gets to the end of the rope.
Fremont Tribune: There is no good reason why
there should not be cutoff on the Lincoln high
way to bring traffic by way Of Blair instead of

mapped out i would give tourists an option. II

Omaha, Feb. 3.--To the Editor OF
The Bee: Much has been written and
said concerning the lend seat hog
and also the passenger who blocks the
way near the entrance of the car,
thus leaving the front empty and the
rear very much crowded, but what
about the mother" hog, who boards
car with couple of children about
q o'clock p. m, when all householders
ought to be at home?
An instance came to my notice re.
Gently, where mother and small
child were occupying seat made to
hold two adults. Time, s p. m. Car
very much crowded. A slight young
woman whom l assume was employed
downtown, asked the lady If there was
not room for her in the same seat
The reply was that she thought not,
but an effort was made to vacate about
a couple of inches of space, which
the young woman then occupied. But
when the mother was told that unless
she had paid a fare for her child,
that he was not entitled to seat
while adults were standing meaning
Of course, that the natural and proper
place for the child under those condi-
tions was on its mothers lap, she re-
piled, Where would you put him;
hang him on a nail?" And with that,
gave a shove which led the young
woman to resume her position stand
ing in the car.
While scoring one for the above ac-
tions, we might give credit where it is
due also. Occasionally you see an in
stance on street car where mother
and child will board the car and
no seats vacant, and a young woman
(childless, in all probability will take
the little one on her lap. In fact
have seen a comely young white wom-
an take a little colored girl on her
lap under those circumstances.

Looking Backward.

York, Neb., Feb. Ito the Editor
of The Bee: I wish to leak little
about this very lamentable admins
tration, which came in with so much
ado over the H. C. L. and gave SOL
emn promise of relief from G. o. P.
conditions. But everything of which
they complained then is worse now.
And every change they now are offer
ing to make is fatal confession that
they were then wrong.
We were to have economy in gov
ernment expenses and we have hun
dreds of millions in debts on top of all
these extra and special taxes instead.
Then tariff commission was wrong,
but now it is right.
The war did not increase the need
of preparedness, but lessened it. The
trouble in Mexico did not call for the
bluff we tried to run on them, for the
army units stationed along the border
could have done far better there than

The chief factor behind the immigration re-
striction propaganda is to be found in the labor
unions. whose leaders believe it to be to their
interest to make labor scarce although the vast
majority OF immigrants do unskilled labor, which
the American workmen will not do under any
circumstances. It is to be hoped the senate will
sustain the veto and it is difficult to understand
how any senator, representing the west with its
vast resources undeveloped for lack Of popula-
ton and workers, can favor such arbitrary
exclusion.

Scope of Federal Road Aid.

Omaha, Feb. 3.-To the Editor of
The Bee: The opposition to legislation
accepting federal aid for highway con-
struction is due to misunderstanding
as to the federal law-one big point
of opposition is that to secure this aid
requires hard surfaced paved roads.
The following exchange of kilograms
was to settle this point and to establish
that federal aid is available for any
character of construction down to dirt
roads, if grading and construction is
substantial in character. Note these
kilograms which are self-explanatory:
Wire sent to L. W. Page, director
of roads, Washington, January 81:
will your department rule that earth
road, well graded to line section and
surface with good drainage and per-
manent substructures is substantial
construction entitled to receive meas
ure Of federal aid?"
Answer received February 1: Type
of road determined in each case by
conditions. Graded earth road accept
able If conditions warrant and i'm
provement is substantial as required
by law"
