Oh; Wo, not until we get a Water board that will refuse to let the water works be used to build up a polit ical machine for anyone. For up-to-the-minute war news from most reliable sources, look to The Bee exclusive New Tork World special war cables In addition to full Associated Press re porta. The "water-marked slate" is now aubject to public Inspection, and a finer collection of fee grabbers, grafters and fake reformers was never before assembled under one tent. Uncle Sam may have to make his own toys for the holidays this year. Home-made toys are Just as good, If not better, anyway. "Back to the simple life" will not harm the children.

When tb,e Water board boss waa filing on water rights In his own name, and for his own personal profit, he waa In no hurry about forfeiture for failure to proceed with Immediate development. The two antl-admlnlstratlon democrata in the senate are Reed of Missouri and Hitchcock of Nebraska. A writer In Harper's Weekly de-Mc-rlbed Reed as "A Four-Flush Radical."

Complete uniforms for democratic and republican luba." The War a Natural Protective Tariff. Whether we realise It fully or not, the United States Is at this moment enjoying a pro tective tariff more effective than any It has eVer had. To be more explicit, while Prealdent Wilson and his democratic congrecs have reduced all the duties downward and set us on as close to a free trade basis as they could, the advent of the war In Europe has put the tariff right bark, not where it was, but sky-high, with practically pro hibitive terras. It is not now a question of the rate of duty to be paid on Importations, but of the Impossibility of bringing in any foreign made goods at all. While the low tariff revlalon undertook to turn over to European importers the large part of our home market, the war re stores it to us, and shuts out absolutely the products of the cheaper paid foreign labor. The result of all this cannot be different from what would happen If the tariff were raised a guarantee of the home market being all that Is needed to stimulate domestic produc tion. With foreign supplies shut out, we must make at home the goods needed for home con sumption, and In addition will have an un precedented opportunity to get into other mar kets where we were formerly at disadvantage. Our chief commercial rivals have to all intents and purposes withdrawn from the fields of com merce and Industry to turn their energies Into their military movements, and the Interruption and dpwt ruction of ocean traffic forms an Insu perable trade barrier between them and us. The point to be emphasized, therefore, is, although ostensibly wo have a low tariff law on our stat ute books, it is utterly Inoperative because the war constitutes a natural protective tariff up to tho very highest limit. Would It Pay? The Master Butchers' Association of Amer ica thinks the way to cut down the cost of liv ing Is to rush city men to the country, and, of course, this Is quite a popular theory. But the butchers, no doubt feeling the sting of much Idle criticism aimed at them, urge the federal government to engage In the business of helping the city man to get on the farm by lonnlng him the necessary money to buy the land and estab lish himself. Then It would have the return made In partial payments. Theoretically, It seems like a fine plan. Whether it would work out so well is another question. First, the trouble with every other back-to-the-fami move ment has been to find the' city man willing to go. The clamor In that direction, It must be admit ted, is not deafening. Second, for the city man with no farm experience the government might have to aend an expert along to teach him what to do with the land after he got it. Most of those who draw' claims under the homestead laws dispose of the land. Finally, it Is ques tionable whether we are quite ready for such an advanced stage of paternalism on the part of the government. How Emperor William Reviews His Troops Old and New Immigration. One effect of the European war is sure to be to stimulate emigration to the United States. Should hostilities continue long the resultant economic burdens will be more than many are able or willing to bear, and those with the spirit and means of seeking a home In a new land are apt to be of the best, stock of people. If ante i'ellum reports are to be believed, there has been a deep and pemlstent undercurrent ot discontent among the people of the several nations with the pro-war policies for years laden down with taxation and increased cost of living, and now the climax Is capped with awful war. What is more natural than that many of these will avail themselves ot Improved conditions In the United Ststes? v It is reasonable to expect, too, that the bulk of thla Immigration will be of the better grades of population, largely from northern and west ern Europe. If so, It will be our gain and Eu . rope'a loss. No doubt some of our own people, inclined to an unfavorable view of Immigration aa a whole, will Jump to the conclusion that any atlmulus of this sort will simply mean a heavier influx of so-called undoslrablee." They go on an assumption which amounts to a deep-seated popular belief that tha new or latter-day imml gratton Is of an inferior class compared with previoua years. Statistics fail to support this view. While a larger percentage of present-day immigrants belong to the unskilled labor and farm hand classes than to the skilled labor and professional classes, this haa been true for at least five decades, and the fact is tbe percentage of unskilled laborera is less now than formerly. From 1861 to 1870 42.4 per cent of all our Immlgranta belonged to the unskilled labor class, In the next decade It was 41.9 per cent, the next 60.J per cent, next 47 per cent, while in the last decade, from 1901 to 1910. It was only 34.8 per cent. Those of agricultural pur suits have Increased from 17. per cent to 24.3 per cent in the aame period and we Probably would be better off if the Increase had been greater. The aervant clasa haa Increased from 7.3 per cent In 181-1870 to 14.1 per cent. Here again we doubtless would welcome a gain. As to skilled labor tbe percentages have run for these five decadea from 24, 23.1 20.4. 20.1 and, finally, 20.3, varying unappreclably. Tbe professional began with 0.8 per cent and have gone to 1.5 per cent, the largest ever. In addi tion to these significant figures, cited from au thoritative sources. Charles Stelxle, who also speaks with authority on auch matters, calls to mind the fact that for aixty years the percentage of our immigration In proportion to our popula tion has remained virtually unchanged. Another immigration wave would, doubtless increase the proportion, but by an addition to our population we should be glad to have. To Whom Ii He Alluding! Hurling back into the teeth of one of his critics a fling at his signature on the Bartley pardon petition, Richard L. Metcalfe, among other emenltiea ot his campaign for the demo cratic nomination for governor, says: The whole state knew there were many men holding their heads high In aodaty whoae borrow Ing had helped make Hartley a defaulter. None of these men paid any penalty, and, eo far aa I knew, have ever made restitution. Oh, now, to whom can he be alluding? M,',"laejgsngasajaBssBasBSBBBB There Is no law whatever warranting the restoration ot a name on tbe official ballot after tbe candidate haa withdrawn, and the time for new filings expired. Neither is there anything to support the pretense that the law does not recognise withdrawals at all. We advise the know-it-all lawyers to read the primary law over again. Xtescriptloa taken from a letter to The Bee Soring a tonr of Europe made by the writer la issl, thla military maneuver having occurred September 18 of that year. The traditions of the present German empire rest mainly upon tho good generalship of Its greatest rulers and the warlike abilities f Its people. The unity of Germany ling been secured only with i en turles of stubborn fiphtlnic by soldleja drilled Into rigid tlliwipllne. And no one can be long In Rerlln without having thla military basis of the Imperial gov ernment vividly Impressed upon his mind. Every where are monuments to military heroes, bronie statues of armored kings or leaders, streets and squares bearing names famoua In the annala ot war. The military basis of the Prussian etate rounded by tho Great Elector, came Into full being under Frederick II. Great In war. he waa almost equally great In peace, and left many monuments of his activ ity In both fields. These erre for the moat part con centrated about Potailam, already before hla time a royal residence. Though there la a whole cluster of royal castles In tha neighborhood, aa well aa one In the center of the city Itself, Puna Boucl Is the most Interesting of all, and consequently attracts the greatest attention from visitors. The rooms ure still maintained aa used by Its early' occu pants. The apartment formerly assigned to Voltaire Is richly furnished and the walla decorated with handsomely painted wood carving. Frederick waa eo trir Influenced by his leaning toward everything French that In writing hla own will he preferred that language to his native tongue. Here, too, la displayed the Identical clock which the great Frederick was ac customed to wind ta bo sure 4 very Insignificant look ing clock whose handa continually remain stationary at twenty minutes past 2. And the official guide malntaina a very straight race when he tells the story how this caoclc suddenly stopped on the very day, hour and minute that the vlctorloua monarch dl d, and how to thla day no one haa ventured either to wind the worka or to move the handa. William II, the present German emperor, devotes much of his time to his duties as head of the Im perial army and personally supervises the annual parades and manoeuvei. I had heard so much of the excellence of the German soldiers that an Invitation to visit friends In Kassel and at the aame time to aee the Eleventh army corpa waa by no means unwel come. A hearty reception by Mr. Berllt, ten years ago a resident of Omaha, did much to make up for the Inconvenience of a long and dusty ride by rail from Rerlln. Kassel, In ordinary times a very attractive city, waa doubly Inviting In Its gala clothes of vari colored flags, festoons and greens. Uniformed -soldiers were everywhere. The empress had already ar rived on Thursday and was Immediately Installed be hind a military guard In the castle of Wllhelmshoahe, the same In which Napoleon HI spent several months of pleasant Imprisonment just a decade ago. On the evening of the 11th, the main thoroughfares of Kassel held almost all the Inhabitants and stran gers In the city, f'lno Illuminations from lamps giv ing lights of different hues brightened the lively scene. Every one Bought the best possible position on the route. Mr. Berllt Is prealdent or the Merchants' association, one of the societies which drew up In line to greet the emperor when he should pass, and so for the time telng, I Imagined myself a temporary mem brr, took my place in the row and awaited the ap pointed time. It waa not long after the carriage con taining tbe empress had hurriedly passed down the street toward the station that the procession made Its appearance. Aside from the military escort there waa little pomp or display. The Imperial couple were driven In an open carriage. As they approached, hats alt along the line were uplifted- ana exclamations of applause burst from the entire crowd. I would say that the empress appeared to be very good looking atrtklng but not handsome. Her figure Is of graceful proportions; her complexion considerably darker than that of the emperor, who la a pronounced blonde. The emperor wore a uniform of the Blue Hussars. His facial features express a decisive firmness more than any other quaUty. lie has an Intelligent look, but not exceptionally more Intellectual than other men In pub lic life. Judging front bla former pictures the acquisi tion of his yellowish brown beard, though It may make him appear older, la no Improvement for beauty. The pilgrimage to the parade grounds began bright and -early yesterday morning. Cltlsena and soldiers, carryalls, wagons, carriages, all were mixed In a promiscuous crowd, hastening In one direction. ' The road waa long, hot, dusty, but the enterprise ot sev eral wide-awake vendors afforded the thirsty way farer an opportunity to Invest In German beer at numerous points on the Journey. A level plateau had been laid out for the parade and a- grand stand erected just opposlto the place of review. The audience as sembled In good time and the soldiers, too, were promptly drawn up, but the 8 o'clock appointed for the arrival of. the Imperial couple was certainly de layed at Mast a half hour. At last they appeared, riding at the head of a numeroua attendance and amid the blasts of trumpets made the circuit of the troops. The horses then wheeled about and came to a stand, facing the open apace In front of the tribune where the review waa to occur. The Imperial couple were clad In pure white, the emperor in a white uni form with shining silver cuiraaa and helmet; the empress In white riding- habit and plumed white hat. Just here came an Incident not scheduled on the program. A large, long-eared rabbit suddenly made hla appearance on tho field. Hemmed In between the tinea of soldiers on one side and the tribune and audience on the other, tha frightened animal daehed several times from one end to the other. To the amusement of the spectators It ran for a distance of over a mile the gauntlet of SO.OCS guns; It almost grased the horaea of the emperor and empress and finally escaped unscathed and unharmed, except, per haps, from the tiresome running in its useless flight. U la not my intention to describe a parade lasting three hours In detail. The Infantry first marched past, with machine like pace, and certainly made a fine appearance with their white trousers, dark blue coats and glittering helmets. A change In the regi mental band, which from Its position opposite the em peror poured forth a continuous military march, marked the beginning ot each new regiment. The cavalry, comprising hussars, uhlanen and cuirassiers, were followed by the artillery. And aa the cannon rolled by, four pieces abreast, the spectator could easily have Imagined that the four carriages were being drawn by one team of horses. I am no Judge of mili tary training and discipline, but that the audience in general seemed pleased waa evinced by frequent bursts of applause, particularly when the cadeta from the military school made their appearance. I heard afterwards, however, from a gentleman who was In a position to know, that the emperor himself waa not fully satisfied with the display made by the corps. Whether the annual parades and manoeuvera have any special significance at the present time It la diffi cult to aay. Wherever I have been In Germany I have found that tha people generally anticipate a r In the near future. They are not anxious for war; they dread It, yet dread It with a spirit of defiance. They prefer to have war postponed from year to year aa long aa possible, but are determined to be prepared In case It comes. The personal opinion of the emperor la not definitely known. 1(1 Individual efforts will have much to do one way or the other with prolonging the preaent atate of peace, but It la evldeut that he Join with hla people la approving the time worn say ing: "In time of peace prepare for war."' rlef eoatrlaatteas om timely topics larlted.

I remember that we needed frlenda, and I know of no people who wero better friends to this republic than the German race. We had them by the thousands, young men came to thta country and Joined the union army, and a better soldier waa hard to find; and a more humane soldier than the German soldier was never found In battle. In my opinion. I remember the days o fthe Alabama there were no Oer man sailors on that ship of destruction; but when young Wlnslow took the Kear sage to sea, there were German sailors behind the guna. It Is a fact that the German men freely gave their lives In the battles of thla republic. JOHN McINTIRE. MnffraaUia and KemlaUm. COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., Aug. 11. To tho Editor of The Bee: The commands of the men's Bible are not a matter of opinion they are a matter of record and truthseckcrs need not go outside the records to find Its condemnation; It car ries within Itself its own condemnation. Whenever the villainous teachings con cerning women and girls are called to the attention of the public there always are men who make a noise aa though they were hurt. No man who does not believe In, practice nor profit by these vicious commands haa any call to defend them. tflnee the adoption of the men's Bible It was adopted by the votes of men only pastors have actively by voice or pen taught or passively acquiesced tn Its teachings that the object of woman'e ex istence is to serve man either as a sex slave or servant. The writer may or may not be a feminist whatever that means but to be called a suffragist is the apex of injustice. To be called a suffragist Is to add Insult to Injury. Modern militants smash windows with hammens. but . an ancient militant smashed a law with an apple and all women who desire to know right from wrong rise up and call her blessed. There are more kinds of freedom than political emancipation and one of the truest guide boards is Thomaa Falne's "Age of Reason." ELIZABETH QUIGLET. Question of Irish Loyalty. OMAHA, Aug. ll.-To the Editor of The B-e: A correspondent signing himself John A. McChrlatal, has addressed a let ter to you. In which he quotes a letter he claims to have written to Mr. Redmond. th. leader of the Irish nationalists. I am very sorry indeed to see one who evi dently Is an Irishman, seek to arouse anti-English feeling at this time. I am sure Mr. Redmond's secretary will con sign Mr. McChristal's epistle to the waste basket where it belongs. There Is nothing so worthy of contempt as bigotry, and the worse kind of bigotry la that branded religious or political. The mind that even harbors the Idea of having the Irish prove traitors at this time la indeed perverted. An Insurrection now would shatter all hopes of home rule. The British empire would crush any such at tempt. Perhaps Mr. McChrlatal would prefer to have the land of his forefathers ruled by the German imperial government. That would be magnificent the Irish and Ger mans get along so lovely. If the Roman CSatholio portion of Ire land Is wise, the people will strain every effort to stand loyally with England dur ing this crisis. After the clouds have parted, Ireland's reward will be full en franchisement a united country free from the bigotry of Rome on one side and Protestantism on the other. "England's misfortune Is Ireland's op portunity to prove its loyalty," and thus win the affection ot the entire British empire. ROBERT J.
