Yea, but will that new wart cure remove political warts? It Is hard to arouse Interest In the world's base ball championship while the world's cannon ball series Is on. Nobody defends the Jall-teedtng graft except the grafters, and nobody upholds the fee steal except the fee-grabbers. It looks as If our old friend. Matt Spader, had stirred up a hornetnect, but we have no doubt he Is quite able to take care of himself.

Talk is a useful preliminary to reaching out for International trade disrupted by. the war. But the time for talk Is past. Success demands action. Now, let the proper city authorities see to It that public works contracts are completed be fore cold weather sets In, so that all our streets may be In good passable condition throughout the winter months. Democrats are shedding crocodile tears over the necessity 'of levying "war taxes" In times of peace, but If the revenue was destined for the "pork barrel" their tear ducts would not yield a drop of the briny. S St.-JB Secretary Bryan announces that there posi tively will be no postponement of the San Fran clsco exposition, which will open on the date as originally planned, February 20, 1915. All right, we will have our new hotel ready by that time. The straw vote on the postmastershlp at Lin coln seems to favor Bryan's preference, whose nomination the president has already sent to the senate. That recalls the question, "Is Casey good for a drink?" "Has he had It?" "He has." "He Is." Servla does not occupy much space on the average map of Europe, but even Austria con cedes that the Sorbs can brew more kinds of trouble and pull off more devilment than any nation of bobcats on earth. Austria speaks from painful experience. It is taken for granted that the leaf turned over by Ak-9ar-Ben last year in excluding from the street fair the catch-penny gambling games and border-line shows is not to be turned back. Ak-Sar-Ben not only lost nothing by its cleanup of the midway, but, firmly adhered to, will be the gainer in the long run. The old world is fortunate in having the United States to turn to In times of distress. Every cause of humanity finds a generous re sponse in this country, and the present disas trous war is no exception to the rule. The coun try Is fortunate In possessing the spirit of giv ing as well as the means to give. t .aw. W M Tha ona and only Bamum's showed to full aeata despite ahowera.

M "iUrg. secretary. Four Factors, in Military Success. Tha four factors to which tbe success of German arms In the enrly operations of the war Ih ascribed are (1) heavy artillery, (2) the field kitchens, (3) the sturdy legs of the soldiers, and (4) the scouting service of the aviation corps. Now, every nation that aspires to military glory knows what it must do to score high on the boards and failure to take advantage of this knowledge will be suicidal. First and foremost. It is Just absolutely necessary that the winning force put In the field have bigger big guns than the enemy's big guns, and more of them. It Is also necessary to mobilize the culinary department and put the kettles and ovens on wheels with plenty of cooks, bakers and tasters to keep the lunch counter running night and day. For sturdy legs for the soldiers, depend ence must be placed in natural selection, or, better yet, an effort should be made to produce a Shanghai breed of fighters with better and speedier underpinning than the normal average. Finally, no army can hope to hold its own without a swarm of eagle-eyed blrdmen for reconnolterlng. The aircraft Is the compass and telescope of the strategy board, without which all sense of distance and direction would be lost. The lessons of this war are coming fast. It Is the eyes, ears, legs and stomachs of the army that demand special care and cultivation If it is to approach the perfection of a military machine. If Women Want to Vote. If women really want to vote at the coming election In Omaha, they are to have an oppor tunity to do so. Under the law of Nebraska, women with children of school age, or possess ing property upon which they pay taxes, may participate In school elections. While here tofore the women have rarely taken advantage of this qualified suffrage In appreciable num bers, County Assessor Counsman has kindly come to the rescue with an offer to facilitate their qualifying. He invites women who want to vote to Hat their property for assessment in his office In amount of 50 or more, and has extended the time limit for this purpose to the end of next week. He further explains that on the minimum amount of taxable property, namely, $60, the tax will be only about 85 cents, which Is less than the usual poll tax Im posed in many states. Now, how many women want to vote on these terms? For the Truth of History. The political statisticians down In Llnco'n have compiled some figures given out for public consumption through the Lincoln Journal as follows: In 113 Mr. Howell was a candidate at the primary for national committeeman. The vote In hla home county, Douglaa, waa. Howell 5,123 Koaewater '. 4,471 Howell's majority 145 Total vote In county ....-,, 801 Per cent of Howell's vote S3. 4 This year the republican primary vote for governor, disregarding the minor candidates, waa: .

Mexican Instability. Just as everyone thought we were safely out of the Mexican woods, new complications seem to have set in fraught with possibility of further trouble. When we finished installing the first native government in Cuba, and took our de parture, we were called back In a very short time to straighten out the snarls again, and did the Job then lth less compunction, but with more permanency. The trouble In Mexico seems to be like that in Cuba a factional discord In which every side that cannot rule refuses to submit to a rule of the other. It we are to have a peaceful and orderly government in Mexico, it must be a government supported by the great mass of the people in sufficient numbers to justify a claim that it is really representative. Regardless of the merits of the controversy between Car ranxa and Villa and other ambitious leaders, It may yet devolve upon the United States to help our Mexican neighbors set their bouse In order. Tbe Hon. Carransa has a few troubles on bis own hands. Perhaps be should not have been In such a hurry with his demand tor withdrawal of American troops from Vera Crus. Topics of the War Mortality In Battle. New York World. To r-ad of a battle In which 3.W0l men are en saaed naturally ralrea vlnlnrm of wholr-aale alaunhtfr. All the appliance of modern warfare are designed to that end; all the aklll and e-lr-n.-e of the areatnt mili tary eperta are directed to that purroae. Tat. baaing eatlmntea on authentic hletorlral rec orda, there la good reaaon to aaaume that the number of mert killed In any one battle n Frame will be aurprlnlngly low when compared with th death-rale under normal circumstances among the name number of men. At O.ttyshura, for Inntanre, the death-rate per l.fiOO waa GT 5, the highest In twenty-one battles In the civil war. According to the fluurea putllahed by the Northwmtern Mutual I .If company In the Ameri can Experience Table of Mortality, for every l.MO men living at the are of 49 there will be 5." 6 deatha before reaching the age of 53. For all purpose, thia la exactly the name rate of mortality aa that on the field of Oettyabtirg. That la to aay. each aoldler had the aame chance of aurvlvlng the battle, or Gettysburg that a man now 4 yeare old has of living to be 53. At the battle of Chancellorsvllle the death-rate among the soldiers engaged waa 20.3 per 1.000. According to the life Insurance tablca, the death-rate per l.ono among men In peaceful puraulta ranging In age from 42 to 44 li exactly the aame. Every aoldler at Fhlloh. where the death-rate In battle waa 42 2 per l,0fO, had the aame chance of eacaplng alive as the average man or 30 has of reaching the age of 35. Theae; figures are surprlelng In allowing how far we are likely t be led astray In calculating the rela tive mortality In battle. Ae In Warfare. Philadelphia Record. When General Grant came prominently to the front In 1.H3 by hla capture of Vlckaburg, he waa 11 years old. Meade, the victor of Gettysburg, waa at the same time 4S, Fherman waa 43, and Fherldan was 3J yeara old. When Ftonewall Jackson was killed In that anme year he waa but 39, and when McClellan waa placed In command of the union forces In 18C1 he waa only 35. Those ages are Interesting' because they are In such striking contrast with the advanced years of the men who are In command of the armies now battling In Europe. On the German side General Von Em mlch. the captor of Llcge, ta 66, and General Von Kluck la 8. General Von Hauaen, who recently gave up the command of the Saxen army, la 68; General Von Heerlngen Is 64; General Von Elnem. 61. and General Von Uuelow 68. General Vcm Moltke, chief of the Gorman general staff, la frl, and General Von Hinder, berg, who la in command In East Prussia, la 67. Nearly all theae offlcera took part In the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. On the alllea' ride Earl Kitchener la 6, Pmlth-Dorlen 66, and Fir John French 62. The three French generals, Pau, Joffre and Galllenl, are all approaching 70. From this statement of yeara It la easy to Infer that modern warfare demands In generala mature judgment and experience rather than the superabund ant energy and high personal courage that were sup posed to be the dlatlngulshlng marke of the old-time warrior. Paris and London at Mght. New York Tribune. The contraat between London and Paris In war time Is astonishingly great How Parle goes to bed at 9, with no theaters open and the whole gay life of the boulevards replaced by silent, empty spaces, Mr. Davis haa told us. In London, on the contrary, there la much cheer and entertainment. The bulk of the theaters are running as usual. Historical plays In praise of old England's heroes have the call, but "Hello Ragtime" la not leaa auccessfut, with "special war newa indicated to the audience." The London Stage reports bookings and business a almost up to normal for the seaaon. The managera seem to feet that aome defenae of theae open houses Is due. For one theater, a repertory house In Bristol, lines were written by John Masefleld expounding the English situation and explaining why "Because (as we believe) a nation needs A temper and support In tlmea of strain. Beauty for solace when the spirit bleeds, Laughter for respite to the weary brain." Of course, the chief explanation Ilea In the fact that France la Invaded and Parla threatened, while England alts at peace behind her fleet. Also the stake In the case of France la existence itself, and her whole male population strong enough to be of use Is under arms. England's stake la large and her proposed army of 1.400,000 men Is a huge one. Even so, hers la only a representative army, upon a volunteer baals, and there la no such universal tragedy aa In France. No leaa a person than the bishop of Winchester has applauded the London theaters for remaining open and cheering the English through their tense period ot trial. Like the British regulara marching to battle with "It's a long way to Tlpperary' on their llpa, the stay-at-home Brltlahers are taking their anxloua days with aeveral chuckles on the aide. Pntty Bide ot War. Cincinnati Times-Star. The ridiculous extremes to which war hatreds may lea'd otherwise sane people are dally shown In the press dispatches. In London Wagner, Brahma and lieethoven compositions have been atrlcken from nutneroua prtograma, because the composers were German. In Berlin a movement ta oh foot to discard the expression "adieu" because It Is of French origin. Berlin messenger boys have been made to surrender their little round caps because of their British desln.i. Russian, English and French paintings have been removed from various German galleries. All Russian towns bearing names of German origin are being renamed. Parla styles have disappeared from Berlin, and Oerman atylea from London , Were the circumstances In which these animosities were born less tragic the Incidents would be ludicrous. But Instead they are a pathetic reminder of how far the boasted coming of universal brotherhood haa gone astray. Not in our day or generation will French. English, German or Ruaalan men and women meet In the various relations of life without the heritage of 1914 rising up between them. The losa of good will by thia war la Inestimably more deplorable than the loss of treasure. Twice Told Tales . Wanted to Take so ( hsncri. Young Mawka had decided to enlist and go to war. and his wife was ohjectlng. "But, darling.' he argued, "even If I were killed, Just think how fine It would be to be the widow of a hero!" "Oh, no, Wilfrid." pleaded the young wife ear nestly, her mind reverting to a familiar proverb; "I would rather be the wife of a live Jackass than tho widow of a dead lion." Judge. Ulaalaa for Money. The workman waa digging. The wayfarer of the tnqulaittve turn of mind atopped for a moment to look on. "My man." said the wayfarer, at length, "what are you digging for?" The workman looked up. "Money!" he replied. Money!" ejaculated the amaaed wayfarer. "And when do you expect to atrlka it?" "Saturday," replied the workman, and resumed operations Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. It All Denenae. When James A. Garfield was president of Oberlln college, a man brought for entrance aa a student ha son. for whom he wished a shorter course than the regular one.

'a War's Irreparable Itameae. OMAHA. Sept. 2T-To the Editor of The Her: Your editorial, "War's Irreparable Damage," was fine. War has ever been destructive of property, and If property, no matter of what nature, gets in Its way or the military comni'inders believes It necrrssary to accompliah his aim. It will be destroyed tr.Rht or "vrong). Hut what Is property to the slaying of thousands of the best of every land? Oh, the horror of It oil should make everybody deter mined that this shall be the last war among clvllijied nations. And who Is re sponsible for this war? I believe the fu ture historian will point his finger to the abominable rxar and hla cohorts, and to the intrigue and hypocrisy of the Eng lish cabinet, headed by Sir Ird Grey. II FISCHER. The I alted States of Europe. OMAHA, Kept. 24. To the Editor of The Bee: What a charming sound the above expression haa to American cara! Hitherto It haa been the dream of pat riots, but now that It ta suggested by tho Autokrat of the Husslas, it begins to assume an aspect of reality. ' Germany haa always charged Russia with sinister design upon Europe, but this suggestion shows the charge utterly groundless. Despotic as the government of Russia Is, there Is much to be said In lta favor. It greatly needed Port Arthur aa an out let for lta Asiatic possessions. It la the criglnator of The Hague tribunal; It al ways opposed the Turk; It made a naval demonstration to show Its sympathy In our civil war; It has granted Poland autonomy, and now suggests a federation o the states of Europe, If thia war should bring about such a result, It will be worth all It costs. What lias emphatically been called "the balance of power" has maintained an unMablo peace In Europe for centuries and haa been but little better than armed neutrality, ready to spring at each other on the least provocation. This federation needs not be as close as that of the United States, because aome of the states would want to be repub lics and some constitutional monarchies, but absolute monarchies should not be allowed. That such union Is possible, no Intelligent man can deny. This would remove the Incubus of standing armies, except for police purposes, mutual dis trust, petty tariffs, examination of pass ports) and rummaging of trunks, etc., every few houra, as one travels through thoae countries. It would greatly facilitate trade and travel and lead to unification of language and brotherhood, aa It does In this country. Buch a war aa Is now going on would be Impossible, because there would be no provocation and no armlea to carry It on. Europe can never havo permanent peace till such union Is effected. That the moat despotic and powerful state In this federation volun tarily offers to put herself on an equality with weaker states Is most auspicious and her proposition should be accepted at ones. D. C. JOHN. Reaaona for German Sympathy, ' OMAHA, Sept. 24.-To the Editor of The Cee: One of your correspondents does mt, the honor to criticize my recent communi cation. In which I express my Inability to understand the hostility to the Oerman cause reflected in so many of our papera. and their pro-British .sentiment. I dis claim all intent to offend cltlaens of English or French birth or descent, who I consider have Just as good a right to sympathise with their compatriots aa the Germans or any other nationality. My sympathies are with all the atrlcken people engaged In thia deplorable war, 110 matter of what kin. Being German born, however. I naturally resent the extreme partisanship for the allies' cauae, con ceived In ignorance, by certain native editors and writers, who should heed .President Wilson's admonition for strict neutrality, which means impartiality. If your correspondent could read some of the articles published editorially by certain rabid Germanophoblacrazed eastern pa pers, he would readily understand my re sentment, and my anxiety to correct the false Impressions created thereby. The Boer general, Beyera, who Just re signed his commission In the English atmy because he dlsapprovea of England's course against Germany, says that, "a atrong minority cannot be convinced ot the righteousness of war with Germany," meaning that only a amall majority waa In lta favor. I do not admit even that, and believe that only a minority, I. e. the large financial and commercial Interests, which here would be called Wall atreet and the trusts were In favor of it. The split in the English cabinet waa certainly significant. 1 believe that a referendum to the English people at the beginning would have condemned the war. Now, since English blood has been shed, It must be fought out. aa Lord Grey says, until Germany is annihilated, although Nor man Hapgood, the mental Narcissus of Harper's Weekly Is "perfectly aure that England would never consent to having Germany maimed," while, he says. If Germany wins, It will be all over with Great Britain and the United Statea, which will then be reduced to German dependencies. One writer says that Germans had set up a new gospel which ordains that "Germany la the only God and Krupp la hla prophet." What an absurdity, when Bismarck said that "i Germans fear God. but nothing else In the world.' He speaks of Germany as "a nation which haa won by conquest everything it pos sesses, and a people In whom the princi ple of aggression would seem to be in born." Either he is Ignorant of history or he proclaims a deliberate falsehood. He cannot show that a single square mile haa been added to Germany In Europe for generations to which It did not have a perfect title. 8chlewig and Holsteln were German duchies with German pop ulation for centuries. Passing to Den mark by doubtful Inheritance they re volted againat the Danish yoke In 1846, but Denmark succeeded la suppressing the rebellion. Then eighteen year later, by -the wish ot their people and by their owa Initiative, they became a part of Germany, a case almost parallel to the annexation of Texas by the United States. The kingdom of Poland waa divided be tween Russia. Austria a fid Prussia be cause, through Internal dissensions and faulty statesmanship and through lack of understanding between lta nobles and peasanta. It had become a hotbed of revo lutions and therefore a menace to the peace of lta neighbors. In 1439 Alsace-Lorraine was stolen from Germany by Louis XIV of France (who at the aame time devaatated all the re gions of the Rhine), but had to be re stored to their rightful owners In lKl. Hersegovnta and Bosnia were prac tically granted to Austria by the great powers of Europe (except Russia) in 178, because ihey were Infested and largely! dominated by rubber bands 'and reeded a strong hand to bring order out of1 chaos. We have an Illustration of such conditions very close at home. Austria1 not only accomplished that, but Increased ' the prosperity of these countres a hun- dredfold 1 Germany's only conquest hH been the peaceful conq-iest of science, a't, liters-1 ti.re, commerce and Industry. S me want' to make It appear that they only hate the kaiser, but bear no 11! will towards1. Germans In America or abroad. Yet they Insist that Germany must be crushed, no matter at what cost, and accuse Germans here and at home of Pnn-German aglta- ton as a menace to the United States with sinister purposes against the Mon-1 roe doctrine, etc. A.
