Long Life or a Busy. One.

Death OF two leaders Of Omaha business and
civic life just when each seemed to be- at his
strongest leads to, some nominations to what is
mans duty, to himself or to others? Acorre=
spondent pleads that il one of these men had been
more considerate of himself and less active on
behalf OF others he might have lived many years,
That is equally true of both, They gave upspar:
ingly OF their time and ability, and seemingly
wore themselves out. But they were Of immense
value to the community while they were active in
its life, and had great share in its growth and
prosperity. Would they have been better of had
they taken things little easier, declined to re-
spond to some Of the calls made upon them, with
held help to others because OF its entailing effort
to themselves? The Bee thinks not; at least,
these men would not have been satisfied with a
life of ease, or even OF limited activity, because
they were leaders, and leadership entails unstinted
effort. Long life may or may not be blessing;
It is much desired by many, but the busy life is
sought bymore. Men and women may be taught
how better to conserve their energy and expend
their strength, but they will never learn to be
content when work to do is within their reach

Free Trade No Longer British Fetish.

In all our debates on the protective tariff the
wonders worked by British free trade have been
dinned upon us with all the changes by the demo.
cratic tariff reformers. What surprise then to
take up recent copy Of the London Times and to
find in it, as an advertisement over the names of
all the principal British tire manufacturers, this
smashing drive at free trade:

Publicity and War Loans,

press agent 1t is unmistakable in wealth of
promise and gripping originality. All the forces

surplus moneybags of the country Captains of

surprising results In subscriptions to Great Brit

country the SUCCESS of the first war loan is fore

respects new records seem certain. In the main
essentials tNis doubtful 1.-THE campaign with its
vastly greater facilities and almost boundless re-
sources to drawiup will rival the historic fnan-
cial campaign conducted by Jay Cooke for the
government during the civil war. That famous
wizard of union finances took hold in the fall of
1852 when the Treasury was harassed for ade-
quate war funds, and government $40 bonds 60

Cooke had so thoroughly stirred the north that

Mr.. Cooke modified all the forces of publicity
then available. With q staff Of $500 subagents
drilled in the arts of salesmanshp he marshaled
hosts of influential volunteers, awakened public
spirit, commandeered the country's pulpits, and
won unlimited space in the newspapers without
cost. The thoroughness of the campaign in arous-
ing patriotic fervor aided powerfully in banishing
the gloom of the winter of 1928 and drew from
Secretary of the Treasury Chase this notable
compliment: "The history of the world may be
searched in vain for parallel case of popular
financial support of a national government"

American Army Worthy Of Its Name.

Votes taken by both houses OF congress nd-
cate the passage OF the army bill prepared by the
general staff and endorsed by the president This
measure is based on universal service, its purpose
being to give each available man his full oppor-
tunty to serve where he can do most for the
country 1t suppants the volunteer system Of
providing soldiers and thus does away with in
CAPABILITIES and uncertainties that have in the past
seriously affected the armies Of the United States.
Warfare in the main has changed but little
through all time, but in its details it has altered
with each passing year. Efficiency of the highest
order is mperatvely demanded OF the soldier OF
today, and this may be developed only by the
application OF the most modern OF methods. To
achieve this, and in the most expeditions fashion,
is the aim of the new army bill, Under its gen.
eral provisions the actual fighting forces OF the
United States will be organized on basis that
will permit Of its being brought to serviceabe
stage in the shortest possible time. That is the
chief advantage.
Another great point in favor Of the measure
is that it does not in any way discriminate against
the willing and will reach the Stacker" Each
citizen OF the country will be called upon to
der such service as he is capable of and which
rightfully is expected OF him. I'm t.
General. Scott and others of the army have
busiy prepared for the great task OF assembling
the men who will make up the new organization.
When the bill becomes law, as it seems it shortly
will, the nation will be found ready to undertake
the most supendous task ever set before it.

More Flour from the Wheat.

Experts at the Department Of Agriculture at
Washington say that slight Improvement in our
milling processes will have the effect of increas-
ing the amount Of -four now obtained by an
equivalent Of l250O0.00O bushels. This is one of
the sternest counts in the indictment against the
American people for being wasteful Flour as
made at present uses but u per cent of the wheat
when the total should be not less than 90 per
cent with correct milling, say the experts This
increase of Is per cent in volume will actually
improve the quality, but will be secured at the
expense of the attractive whiteness of the -four,
1t seems very little to sacrifice only the slight
element of appearance in order to gain in both
quantity and quality. Our millers certainly should
make the effort to the utmost of nutritious,
serviceable flour from the wheat, and thus help
everybody to do his little bit to avert the world
hunger. Time enough to talk of substitutes for
wheaton -four. when we have actually exhausted
the possibilities of the wheat

And with His glory shine.
Thou shalt not want for company,
Nor pitch thy tent alone;

And show thee OF His own.
Then go thou not in search of Him,
But to thyself repair;
Walt thou within the silence dim
