DAY OF DAYS FOR KlDDIES
Christmas Outranks All Other He'll
days Tor the Happiness and Mer-
rymakng of the Youngsters.

Above all other holidays, Christmas
is children's day. If possible, they
should be made happy on that day.
But they should not be permitted to be
selfshly SO.
In times past there has been a tend
ency on the part of many of us to give
too many gifts, and too expensive ones,
TO our children. We have been waste
full. We should not love our children
less-indeed we would show greater
lovely being careful what we give
them. Too many toys incline children
to be both wasteful and destructive.
When the youngsters are left TO in
vent some of their playthings, their
imaginations are developed, and they
become more capable of doing things
for themselves and taking care of
themselves.
This Christmas would be good time
to begin teaching children unselfish-
ness and the joy of giving. Many
poor mother is struggling % provide
food and shelter for her children ana
has nothing to give them from Santa
Claus. The children of such mothers
are going to have wide wistful, tear
stained eyes. They are going to crave
the joys of a Christmas day that may
not be theirs.
While our fathers. brothers and sons
are at the front risking health and
life for us, fer our country, for good
in the world, let us not forget those
children who lack a fathers care and
protection. The good fellows are do
ing much. But they need our help
both in giving and in seeking cut the
needy. They need our aid In distrlbut-
ing as well as providing.
Let us not forget the spirit for
which Christmas stands. 1t Is TO give
freely, to do service to mankind. Let
us give love. Let us give sympathetic
understanding. Let US give ourselves.
He lives most who lives for others.
And he who shall have made a child
happy on Christmas morning will have
done q service In his name.

We entered the past crop year with
Il wheat supply which gave us only

had sent al 100000 bushels of wheat

responded by sending S5.000.0O0 bush

consumption, between the first of the

BY October 10, 1913, we had already
shipped 85,960,305 bushels since July

our wheat exports since the latest har-

present rate, by July l of next year
we will have sent more than 237 500

Thus are we making good America

Edmond Rostand: Poet and Patriot.

France has lost another eminent citizen and
added another to its long galaxy of immortals,
Edmond Rostand, poet, dreamer dramatist and
moralist, who has just passed in his ffteth
year. 1t is impossible in few lines to sum up
the life work of this man, nor to more than
family indicate his influence on his day.
Rostand was an intense patriot, and by his
contributions to the contemporary stage litera-
ture he greatly aided in the preservation in
France of that wonderful spiritual unity which
has so inspired the civilized world. Perhaps
it is correct to say he is better known in Amer
lea through "Cyrano de Bergerac" and Chan
ticler," for it is with those Americans are more
thoroughly acquainted. His love of France,
glowing with patriotic fervor, is far more effec
lively shown in "L'Aiglon." No one who has
heard Sarah Bernhard declam the eloquent
lines set down for the Eaglet can fail to under
stand how its thought must have uplifted the
French and given them strength to face the day
they knew must come, when again in arms they
would battle to preserve their liberty. The son
of Napoleon, beating out his wings against the
bars of the Austrian cage set around him by
Metternich, was France, under the shadow of
Prussia. The intensity of its appeal is the more
to be appreciated because it was forbidden to
be presented in Berlin.
Rostand long ago had won his permanent
place in the world of letters, and may now be
given something of permanence in the greater
world of politics because of his admitted inhu-
ence on the French mind when it needed a
stimulant.

Progress of a President.

Several expressions in the presidents ad
dress to congress deserve more than momen-
tary consideration because OF their unexpected
quality. One of these is his admission that he
does not know exactly what to do with the rail-
roads This is gratifying evidence of progress,
it being the first sign he has ever given of
willingness to hear from others as to policy.
Another utterance that must arrest attention is
that leading strings" cannot be applied to
Americans in pursuit of their own affairs. This
discovery may date back to the election of
last month"; but whether or not it is an echo of
that event, it shows a reversal of opinion
amounting to an about face In his work on
The New Freedom" which signalized his en-
trance to the presidency, Mr.. Wilson outlined
views that tended not only to leading strings,
but to check-rens and binders as we'll for
American business. He has changed his mind
before, and probably will again, so that aspect
of the situation is neither novel nor alarming.
The fact that he has ceased to be dogmatic
and has come to recognize the futlity of meticu-
lous regulation of the ordinary affairs of life, in
dicates his six years in the White House have
not been wholly in vain.

An incident that will linger long in the
memory of those who took part in the gallant
advance of the Second division in Champagne
came when, as will happen sometimes in all bat
ties in all armies. the artillery was falling short.
The advance had been so swift that there
were no wires by which the warning could be
sent back. The need for action was so imme-
diate that there was no time to send runner
back and no certainty that runner could get
back.
Then, abruptly and on his own initiative, a
signal corps sergeant started to shiny up a
telegraph pole. Under the crossing fire from the
two artlleries, in full sight and within wickedly
easy range of German snipers and German ma
chine gunners, he went up that pole and, from
that high and conspicuous place, signaled the
message back
When he came down an officer congratulated
him warmly and asked for his name and outfit.
The sergeant grinned and started to fade away.
But you don't understand" the officer ex-
planned. Il want to recommend you for a

is the slogan Of forward marching

Let Both Sides Be Cautious.

The conflict between the Omaha street rail-
way company and its employees has fared up
again and is assuming threatening aspects. Each
side should be warned in advance as to the re-
sponsibility it assumes.
1t is not proposed here and now to pass on
the merits of the case; what The Bee wants to
emphasize is that the dispute contains no ee
ments that will suffer through being held in
allegiance. The issues were once submitted to
the war labor board, and there must be some
authority capable of determining whether its
decision still applies or should be modified.
Neither the company nor the men have a
right to involve the great third party in the dis
pute and throw the whole city into turmoil
Interrupted service on the street railway lines
at this time would be felt in every avenue of
our activity The hundreds of thousands who
daily patronize and depend on the street railway
lines have rights which are above those of either
disputant, and neither will gain by reckessy
disregarding these rights.
The directors of the company and the lead
ers of the union ought to let this thought sink

Thea Took No Chances

That the British naval men have not gained
since the signing of the armistice any confidence
in the honor of the men who so recently were
conducting ruthless warfare against them was
shown plainly enough by the elaborate precau-
tons taken by Admiral Tyrwhitt while receiv-
ing the first fotilla of German submarines to
be surrendered. He eliminated all possibilities
either of injury to his own vessels and their
crews or of losing by a last piece of character
istic trlckery and desperation the prizes that
were coming at last into his hands.
Instead, the British admiral met the under
sea boats with force of British ships of over
whelmng strength, and he compelled the Ger
man crews to remain on board, with the engine
room staff at their posts and the others on deck.
till they were we'll within Harwich harbor Guns

harmess-that is, to the British convoy fleet
and it was not until British officers had exam
ined each submarine and found it in the good
order required by the terms of the surrender
that the German crews were allowed to trans
fer to the destroyers that came along to take
them home again.-New York Times.
