PLANES in MISSION WORK
Gospel Workers Believe They Can
Be of Considerable Value in
Spreading the Word.

A flying boat or an airplane may
soon form part of the equipment OF
modern missions in Africa, according
to letter received by motor corpo-
ration from the Congo Mission of the
Disciples of Christ, the headquarters
of which are at Coquflhartville, Bel
gian Congo, says the New York Eve
ming Sun.
eve are interested in the matter of
the purchase of flying boats to replace
wholly or in part the fleet of launches
which we have been planning for sery-
ice in communication between our va
rious stations" the letter stated. eve
have a large river steamer for trans
portation between stations which sea-
planes might supply. Our area is
about 500 miles east and west and 200
miles north and south in extent.
"The whole area is covered well by
an extensive system of waterways. In
inland points landings might be made
in small machines in the straight
smooth, central streets of the native
towns, which in this section are usual
ly clear of grass and other obstruc-
lions and are not less than 100 feet
wide."

Preserving Morale.

Morale implies morals, and more.
1t may be possible to be perfectly clean
morally and yet have low morale.
Morale implies hope, courage, determi-
nation. Many good man lacks these.
He is good morally, but has lost his
grip on the world and himself. In
spite Of his goodness he is doomed to
defeat. On the other hand man can't
have the highest morale if his life is
not clean. Mental and physical i'm
purity are bound to leave their stain
upon the life. Then in time of stress
something will give way and the papers
win talk about collapse and overYork
and things. The only way to meet
life's problems is to keep fit. That
means more than mere eating and
drinking. 1t means the proper care of
the whole organism.

Toe Prices.

A particularly mean form Of profit
eering has developed here within q
few days in connection with the ice
shortage. Distributing dealers have
been boosting the prices or cutting
down the size Of pieces, thus putting q
eavy tax upon the consumers. There
is no law to reach these extortioners,
but a very simple system permits a
correction of the abuse. They are de-
MED supplies when the facts are estab-
!;shed. Thus the remedy for extortion
lies in the hands of the customers,
who have but to report cases Of price
boosting.
+ The disposition to take advantage OF
public necessities and Of emergencies
prevails everywhere. 1t is not peculiar
io this locality. There are in all
trades and lines of business men who
seek to profit from the urgent needs
Of others. These ice price squeezers
are typical Of q lamentable human
trait. It is one Of the great misfor-
tunes of modern society that such q
disposition prevails in all classes and
groups Of people.

salvaging the German Ships.

1t appears that the Germans did not
do their work perfectly when they sank
the war fleet at Scapa Flow on the ed
of June. It is announced that one bat
tleship, three light cruisers and fifteen
destroyers are ready to be salvaged
and that work is proceeding on three
other destroyers. Possibly others Of
the ships may be brought to the sur
face. According to the treaty of peace
the German ships surrendered under
the armistice terms are to belong to
the allies. It was doubtless this pro-
vision that caused the effort to destroy
those at Scapa Flow. British engineer
ing skill is thus defeating the German
purpose. The ships may not prove to
be worth very much; but there will be
undoubtedly considerable satisfaction
in restoring them to the surface after
the treacherous effort to put them out
Of reach.

Here will be an opportunity for Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Hitchcock to show their
hands. Later, in the spring, will come,
it is thought, contest between the
two leaders for control Of the Ne
braska delegation to the next demo-
cratic national convention. Three
times Mr.. Bryan has enjoyed the
states favor in that particular, and
three times as his party's candidate
for President he has been defeated.
Mr.. Hitchcock is a later figure on
the national stage, but has become
prominent, and just now, in the mat
ter of the peace treaty, he is very
much in the picture. There is q
Hitchcock boom for the democratic ma
tional leadership dependent only, as
other booms are, on the Wilson boom.
If Mr.. Wilson withdraws his boom the
Hitchcock boom, it is predicted, will
begin to show class.
On the question Of the peace treaty
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Hitchcock are in
agreement. Both are advocates Of rati-
fication. On the stump Mr.. Bryan is
expressing himself as warmly for the
treaty as Mr.. Hitchcock Is doing in
the Senate. But there are other ques-
lions, and particularly that relating to
the democratic national leadership,
about which they differ strongly, Mr..
Bryan being a Bryan man, and Mr..
Hitchcock q Hitchcock man.

Some new work awaits Mr.. Bryan at
home. And maybe Senator Hitchcock
is quite as much interested. This re-
lates to the convention which will as
semble next winter to write a new
constitution for Nebraska.
The state is thrifty and progressive
one of those commonwealth making
the country west Of the Mississippi a
very bright spot ON the American map.
The people throughout the whole Sec
tion are alert, full of discussion and
hospitable toward new ideas. As a
consequence, many new ideas are pre-
scented, and chances taken.
The control Of the convention will,
of course, mean much, and plans for
control are already Matching.
One plan is that Of the Non-partisan
League, which has grown to large pro-
portions and is exerting much influ.
ence in North Dakota. It is an or.
ganization with many resources. II
has socialistic features, though resent.
ing the tag. It is showing ambitious
purposes. It wants to spread out,
and in the quarter where it has
achieved its first successes. Hence
this design on neighboring state
The league, through control Of the
convention, wants to duplicate in Ne
ibraska the performances in North Da
kota. It wants a constitution to suit
its aims.
Its strength is conceded in the fac
that an organization called the New
Nebraska Federation has been formed
to meet and, if possible, defeat thu
league. The federation also is non
partisan, being composed Of conserva
tive men Of all parties, with. business
