How Sincere Are the Austrians?

The multiple notes arriving in shoals from
Austria naturally awaken some suspicion as to
the sincerity of whatever there is left of the i'm
peral government in that disraught country
In the latest, emanating from Count Andrassy,
is this sentence: "Snce the accession to power
of Emperor and King Charles, his immovabe
purpose has been to bring an end to the war"
Undoubtedly, but with victory for the cause
represented by Austria in arms. One year ago
the Hunnish hordes, led by Prussian COM
manders were sweeping back Cadorna's army
and swarming down onto the Venetian plain,
bent on bringing an end to the war in that Sec
ton at least by crushing Italy, Austria has
shared in the loot of Roumania, and in the dem
clifton of Russia Italian cities have been
sacked and the plumber carried away to Austria.
Now, that fortunes of war have changed and
the doom of the Austrian empire is plainly seen
in the dissolution of the force that has held
together in unhappy alliance the people that
compose it, we find the expert double-dealers
at Vienna shiftily seeking for some avenue of
escape other than the one plainly labeled, "Un-
conditional Surrender" If Kaiser Karl is sim
cere he can end his share of the war most ex-
peditously by handing over his sword. Per-
sistence in palaver in hope of staving off the
inevitable fools nobody other than those who
want to be fooled.

,JOab and AmaSa.

Silver Creek. Neb., Oct. 29.-To
the Editor of The Bee: Just by way
Of constructive criticism, permit me
to call the attention Of your readers
to two historic parallels:
"And Joab said to Amasa, Art
thou in health, brother?' And Joab
took Amasa by the beard with the
right hand to kiss him. But Amasa
took no heed to the sword that was
in Joabs hand; so he smote him
Herewith in the fifth rib and shed
out his bowels to the ground, and
struck him not again; and he died."
I'd Samuel, 20:9-10.
In the summer Of the year Of our
Lord 1918, at about the time Of the
beginning of the political campaign,
Woodrow Wilson, who was then the
president Of the United States-a
democrat and leader of the American

Sixteen southern states, we'll represented by
democrats in the present congress- have no
reason to complain about the way they have
been treated in the distribution of plums from
the War department. To these states has gone

on June 80 last, to pay for construction under
direction of Mr.. Bakers department. These

for all taxes collected by the internal revenue
bureau, which includes income, excess profits,
corporation, liquor, tobacco and special taxes of
all kinds, and for subscriptions to the Third
Liberty loan, as follows:

The Arm of Accomplishment

Science and invention have given the modern
war much-machine guns, long range, artillery,
airplanes, tanks, gas They have added fris,
they have made war specifically different, but
they have not changed its basic form.
The greatest instrument of the army of to-
day, the instrument which stands out con-
spicuously above all others, is the same instru-
ment which made or broke all armies of history
the infantry.
Everything in an army is subservient to the
infantry. The artillery is to break down re-
sistance before it. the tanks to clear its path,
gas is to retard it. ~,
We see a combat arplane in a fight to the
death far above US. 1t is clearing the sky so
that observing airpianes can assist the artillery
in assisting the Infantry Stevedores at base
port work overtime to unload shells from ship
engineers rush the shells by train 70 a ralhead
ammunition trains carry them forward to the
guns, the gunners fire them to blast path
ahead for the infantry, or to throw over bar
rage to protect it.
Those are just simple examples. Sometimes
the reasoning is more involved and complex,
but it always in this war as in all wars, leads to
the infantry.
Flooding their way through rain or dust,
sighting through shrapnel or gas, the infantry
is the sun of the planetary system OF the army.
The other services, highly important as they all
are, are merely subsidiary planets revolving
about it
The infantry is of that branch of the service,
which, in terms of military science, is defined as
the arm of accomplishment. Stars and
Stripes, France.

Calls II An Infamous Insult.

Omaha, Oct. 29.-To the Editor of
The Bee: A more infamous insult
was never heaped upon the head of
his subjects by any ruler in Chris
tendon than the partisan political
screed recently delivered from the
White House. The autocratic kaiser
in his palmiest days never dared to
even charge the socialist party,
removal, that they did not believe in
the perpetuity of German govern
ment.
1t impugns the loyalty, integrity
and ability of majority of the cleo
tors, men and women, Of the United
States. To support a republican
candidate or affiliate with the repub-
lican party, is to be charged with
disloyalty and a failure to support
our boys in the trenches. 1t dis
credits the patriotism of such men
as eX-Presidents Roosevelt and Taft,
Senators Lodge, Knox and Cum
mings. 1t questions in our own cir
Gle the loyal motives of such men as
Gurdon w. Wattles, food admins
TRAITOR; John l.. Kennedy, fue. ad-
ministrator; Frank W. Judson and
Gould Deitz, heads of the Red Cross;
George COPELAND and G.. A. McCloud
OF the Council of Defense, and their
noble band of assistants who have
given without stint of their talents,
time and money, with no reward or
hope thereof except the con-
seriousness of duty Loyalty per-
formed. To say that these men and
women are not loyal enough or pos
sessed Of the ability to intelligently
choose candidates for the national
congress is an insult that should be
Indignantly resented.
To charge that vote for a repub-
lican at this time is reflection upon
the patriotism of every American
citizen who so votes should arouse
such a resentment in the heart of
every loyal republican, with a drop
Of red blood in his veins, that will
not be forgiven or forgotten while
the government stands or the repub-
lican party exists.
1t should not be forgotten that the
American government is now abso-
lutely under the control Of the sons
of the TRAITORS who once attempted
to destroy it and loyalty to American
principles of freedom is a word that
never found place in the creed of
their early education. Raised as
the sons Of shareholders and sup
porters of system of slavery, they
believe that they can yet enslave the
white people of the north as they
once held the negroes Of the south
in bondage.
The citizen Of any party or any
creed who defends such a fulmina-
ton from a power-mad ruler is I'M
true to himself, to his country and
to democratic freedom.

THE SUPREME BENCH.

Attractive as is the theory of the nonpartisan
ballot for the selection of our court Judges in
practice it puts the average voter at the djsad-
vantage of being compelled Ito go it blind" over
a list of names that convey no meaning. This
is more true of the choice of supreme judges
even than of district or local judges, for the
candidates are seldom personally known beyond
the circle of lawyers who come in contact with
them professionally. The vital Importance, how
ever, of maintaining the highest standard in our
highest court most concerns, as we all know,
the business MANI the working man, the farmer,
the home owner, because the judgments of the
court have to do with rights OF person and
property, and it is the litigants rather than the
lawyers who foot the bills and enjoy the bene
fits of even-handed justice or suffer the penal
ties of injustice.
One of the prime factors for the nonpartisan
ballot plan was the contention that it would
operate to keep capable and conscientious
judges on the bench during good behavior re-
CARELESS of previous political affiliation subject
merely to a periodic opportunity to the voters
to recall them for obvious shortcomings If
tnat is SOOd argument, then IN the Impending
election the two judges whose terms are ex-
pring, Judge Letton and Judge Rose, should
have had their reelection conceded and made
practically unanimous, and only the third place,
left vacant by the death of Judge Hamer, the
object of competition.
For this third place, then, choice would
have to be made between the other four candi
dates, and it is fortunate that all of them are
lawyers of mature years and standing.
In behalf of Judge Perry it is urged with
much force that not only has he the desired
legal qualifications and judicial experience, but
his election alone will give representation to the
west two-thirds of the state.
Ex-Governor Aldrich is we'll remembered
for his record of aggressiveness as chief execu-
tive of the state and his later candidacy for the
senate.
Judge Martin is now one of the supreme
court commissioners, having also once served
as attorney general.
Judge Corcoran is another well-thought-of
incumbent of the district bench, to which he
was promoted from the position of court stenog-
rapher with laudable ambition to go higher
But in the finality, it devolves on the ndi-
vidual voter to determine the makeup of the
supreme bench by an intelligent and discrm-
mating exercise of the ballot.

Telephone Cost IN NeW York

Four years ago the telephone company of
Greater New York reduced charges in response
to public pressure. In 1914, the last year of the
high rate, the companys net return was 1928
per cent on a valuation of $S2,000,000. The
first year of the reduced rate Melted the COM
pany ll.90 per cent; 1916 l49l, and 1917, 1875
per cent A significant feature of the showing
presented against higher rates threatened by
the Postoffce department is that under lower
rates the companys business in 1917 was
$S,500,000 over that of 1914, while the operating
costs did not increase proportionately. The
figures go to show that increased business does
not increase the ratio of expense.
