Remembering that each voter exercising his full right of aurfrsge was called upon to make fifty-eight crois marks at our recent primary, the final footings of the official count in Doug Ian county present some Interesting sidelights on what the long ballot will do. For the republican nomination for lieuten ant governor f69 votes are recorded for A. J. Van Alatlne one in twenty of the total vote certainly caat In utter Ignorance or Indiffer ence, because no one who knew him could have voted wilfully for him. For the republican nomination for county surveyor the vote Htands 6,668 for Adams, as against 8.511 for Black. Mr. Black endeav ored to withdraw his candldscy, but his with drawal was refutied by the election commis sioner sb coming too lste, so his name re mained on the printed ballot despite his public announcement that he was out of the race and was supporting Mr. Adams. Yet one out of three who marked their ballots for this office voted for a men who wss not a candidate. For the republican nomination -for commis sioner of the wster district 623 votes are re corded for A. C. Arend, who had likewise done all be could to advise everybody that he had reconsiflercd his candidacy and was no longer standing for the nomination. Despite this fact one out of fifteen republicans voting for water commissioner marked their ballots for a candi date who hnd ssked them not to vote for him. For the democratic nomination for county commissioner In the Second commissioner dis trict, out of 1,245 votes 188 are recorded for Frank J. Fixa, who, unfortunately, had died previous to the primary and could not have qualified even If unanimously elected. A com missioner district Is a comparatively small area, in which the knowledge of Mr. Flxa's death was of general neighborhood Information, yet one out of seven democrats in that district marking a ballot for county commissioner voted for a men who wss dead and buried. It must be obvious that nothing but a short ballot will give us intelligent voting and ef fective popular government. Free Legal Aid. Conservative old St,.' Louts Is about to es tablish a free municipal legal aid bureau, au thorized, though not required, by Its new char ter. While the plan is still In its experimental stage, It Is not wholly new, and will soon, we hope, commend Itself to every wide-awake American ctyy. Like other sensible reforms, this one has its critics, and, as might be expected, some of them are lawyers, who profesg to find in it simply an encouragement to pauperism. True, mis placed charity often has such an effect, but where a city maintains a public, legal adviser for the benefit of all taxpayers alike, there Is no classifying it as a charity. Naturally, it will accommodate poor men and not rich men, for the latter will prefer to employ their own law yers. But Instead of encouraging pauperism, a free legal aid bureau, properly i conducted, would . tend to prevent It by protecting the poor from oppression. The very conception of a free legal aid bu reau' is a vtBiiSlIzed protest against the abuses of ' contlngont-fee law practice, both at the ex pense of the poor litigant and of Justice itself. These abuses call for correction and if the lime light of publicity, together with free legal aid bureaus, will not overcome them, then we must go further and find the additional remedy that will. Through the Panama Gateway. Paralysis of soa transportation as a result of the war, ehuttlng . off the 'importation of necessities, has, according to reports, precipi tated "conditions worse than anything known in many years" along the west coast of South America. Food and other supplies heretofore obtained from the warring countries are want ing, with stagnation to business as far down as southern f hlle. Such conditions must rebuke Americans for their past Indifference or failure properly to cultivate the rich commercial markets of South America. Business is business and Europe has been getting the bulk of this west coast trade, not because of greater proximity so much as that they have gone after it. They have made friends and therefore customers of these people and given them better bargains than we-cared to offer. But with the Panama canal in operation several dlroct connections may be developed be tween American ports and this west coast country. And as business Is buslress and American commerce and industry have their eyes open at laat, they are not apt to allow their European competitors to monopolise this field again. War and Politics. What will be the effect of the European war upon politics In the United States is an other question which is being quite generally propounded. Even ardent democrats will now admit that six weeks ago all portents headed for a republican landslide in 'November to reg ister the general dissatisfaction with democratic policies. If this outlook has been changed, the change Is due solely to the Intervention of the war conflict. We' quote an opinion from the current Review of Reviews: The tntenatlonid crisis haa probably strengthened the democrats position In the elections this falL Many people" who meant to vote adversely to the administration may feel that It will be better to strengthen 'the president's handa. Ktor the time be ing the larger public haa forgotten all about our ap proaching elect'ons. although the politicians have been aa busy aa uaual. Premature predictions In the field of poli tics are always rash. The only certain thing is ttat predictions made on the basis of public sentiment before the outbreak of the war Will have to be revised. Kansas republicans declare against life tenure for federal judges excepting supreme court Justices. Mr. Bryan beat them to It, for this same declaration was incorporated into the original Chicago platform on which be made his irat race for the presidency. Dundee folks are considering the advisabil ity of taking, ctps for annexation with Omaha without waJUng for the aid or consent of any legislature on earth. Here's a tip for other suburban neighbors at well. 1 . I Surgical Statistics of War Army and Vary Journal. A fact about military surgery that may hare melancholy and early demonstration In the present sreat European conflict Is emphasized by Dr. Octave Laurent, euraeon of the ft. Johns hoepltal, Brussels, who followed the troops In the Balkans for eleven months, and who haa Just Issued a volume dealing with the fatality of modern flrearma and the problem of care for the wounded In modern battles, entirely from the viewpoint of the trained surgeon. Thle fact Is that military surgeons cannot be Improvised out of the ordinary surgeona of Jclvll life and that to be rally life saving In their efforta they must havo seen special service and had pej-tleular eperlence with gunshot wounda and military conditions. All thie may be aald without In any way deprecating the splendid work of many civilian surgeons who have come to the front and nobly seconded the work of military aurgnons during and after battles In many wars, notably In our own civil war, where the limited resources of the medical department of the army, owing to lack of development In time of peace, made It necessary to fall back largely upon the assistance of volunteer surgeons who went to the front with a very beautiful devotion of spirit and aacrlflce of per sonal advancement In civil life and of peraonal comfort. At the beginning of the Balkan war Bulgaria had a population of about 4.SOO,'0 and put Into the field more than 600,000 soldiers. In the first, year 30,009 were killed, according in the statistics of Dr. Laurent, and wounded. In the second war 16,000 were killed and 62,000 wounded. Thua one-third of the effective force of the entire army, or t per cent of the population of the country, were either killed" or wounded. The deatha reached one In twelve of the whole army, one In four of the wounded, and one In a hundred of the entire population. In spite of the training of the soldiers and the years of aervlce to which many had been subjected, the old proverb that It takea much more than hla own weight In lead to kill a man In battle held true during the Balkan war. Altogether Bulgaria In the laat war used 83,000,000 rifle bullets and 27,000,000 shrapnel balls, so that scarcely more than one In 200 bullets found Its human billet. Owing to their high velocity, bullets from the modern rifle often make wounda with surprisingly few serious consoquences. Laurent reports cases In which a ball traversed the brain, pierced the chest or penetrated the abdomon with comparatively mild reaults. In some of these apparently dangerous casea the wounds healed without any disturbing conse quences or symptoms., flometlmea bones were per forated with only Insignificant traces of the passage of the bullet. On the other hand, fracturea of the large bones were numerous and complicated and de serve special atudy. The mortality waa thua distributed: Fifty-five per cent due to wounda of the head, from 86 to 40 per cent to wounds of the trunk and 6 per cent to. wounda .of the limbs. The Journal' of the American Medical Association considers It quite contrary to the general supposition that there were extremely few aerious wounda of the abdomen which called for laparotomy In the hospitals. There waa a much larger proportion than might have been eipected of aneurysms 'and especially of nerve-leslona of various kinds. ' Direct rifle bullet wounda 'were often almoat wrholly',;harm less and wounda of the head aa a striking- feature were followed with extreme' rarity by serious de formities of the face. Amputations were rare, lees than 1 per cent of all the caaea treated in the hos pitals requiring It, while trephining waa relatively much more frequent The reaulta of a second opera tion under chloroform of wounded soldiers whose wounds had become Infected were always discouraging. Bringing hla figures to totals. Dr. Laurent estimates that during the single month of July, 1913, 1W.O0O men were killed and wounded on both aides, and of these mere than half, at leaat 80.000 fell on the banks Of the Bregalnltss In the ale days from June 30 to July 8. The reniarka of a commentator on these figures whom Dr. Laurent quotes may be' commended to those who care to Indulge In gruesome prophecies of the casualties In the present war. This commentator aaya: "If you put a sero behind' each of theaa numbers you will have aome Idea of the effective strength of the armlc and the losses that must be presumed to take place in any . war which would tomorrow set the armed forces of any two first-class powers' of Europe on' the fighting line before each other. There would be not lesa than l.tOO.OOO dead and wounded In the course of the first month," or about two-thirds of 1 per cent of the population of the four principal countries engaged In war, Germany, Russia, Prance and Aus tria. Any such estimate does pot take Into account the losses In the Russo-Japanese war. In which the weapons In use were practically what are used now, excepting the Improvement that the ten years have given. No atich ratio of killed and wounded waa noted In the Manchurtan campaign, although there, were frequent lnstancea as In the assaults on Port Arthur, where the Japanese fmight with all the reck lessness associated with oriental fatalism. If any auch proportion of dead and Wounded should mark a campaign between two great powers, there Is little doubt that the prediction that the very deadllneaa of modern weapons would make ware Impossible would come true. .

OMAHA. rpt 4 To the Editor of The Re: Regarding the meeting held at Boyd theater by the Nebraska branch of the Irish volunteers, let me state that I waa an Irishman attending and Instead of a meeting to aid the Irish In Ireland, It waa rnore of a German meeting than anything else. The principal speaker was Val Peter, president ef the German American Alliance of Nebraska, who re ceived three and four times the applause given T. J. Leary and T. B. Murray, the Irish speakers. Never before have I been ashamed to call myself an Irishman. I know at least ten or more Irishmen who were likewise disgusted with the way things went There was no occa alon for Val Peter to be there at all. Unleaa the Nebraska branch of thla aoclety can ' bald a meeting In a.d of Ireland without turning aatrra Into Isv.ch a flisle It should disband. ' The Irish and Germana have iiothlng In common and nothing would Please Ger many better than to whip England and make aome colonies of Germany. Aa a colony of Germany Ireland would be many times worse off than aa a part of Great Britain. All Iriahmen then would have to serve three years In the kaiser's military machine, the most colosaal en gine of destruction ever Invented and which Great Britain, with the help of Its Irish clttiene, I. doing lta best to smash and when It la smashed mankind all over the world will be better off. I think when this war la over and the alllea are victorious England will grant Ireland about anything it wanta. I think all Iriahmen think so, too, aa they are flocking to the colore by the thou sands. All honor to them for doing so. If the men at the had of thla Ne braska branch are true Irishmen and really want to help the Irishmen in Ire land let them call another meeting for Irishmen onry. They then may accom plish something. H. MURPHY. The "Foe of Democracy" Cry. OMAHA, Bept J.-To the Editor of' The Bee: I do not remember when I have been ao shocked oa when I read a two and a half column editorial In the Coruler-Jour-nal on "The Oerman in America." It la almost inconceivable how the editor of such a great paper could ao far forget hlmaelf aa to offer such a monetroue Insult and record auch a stupendous out rage on fairness and Justice by saying, "We wish auccoaa to the alllea and defeat to the kaiser's arms and armies." Our president addresses a solemn word of warning against that "deepest, most aubtle. moat essential breach of neutral ity which may spring out of partisanship, out of paaalonately taking aldea, but the Courier-Journal spurns auch wis coun sel. . I .j . The German-American alliance aska the people to reserve Judgment until the real causes of the war will be more apparent, but the Courier-Journal cannot wait. To It the fact that Germany haa been suc cessful In actence, commerce and In duatrlea and that lta government, from aneer necessity haa built a atrong mili tary power to protect lta interests. Is prima facia evidence that' the kaiser haa drawn his aword for a war of aggression. Intending to annex Belgium and France, and who knowa what elae, to the German empire. He Jumps at the conclusion that the German form of government la a menace to the democracy of America and of the world, and therefore" must be sub dued . at any cost and no -doubt would recommend sending the ' United States army over there to help In doing It; and alnce when, I pray, haa the Courier-Journal arrived at lta opinion? At the atart the majority of American newapapera were looking at the war through English glasses, proclaiming their biased vlewa through English mega phones, simply because they believed Germany would be crushed In a few weeks' time, aa they did forty-four years ago. ... Now, alnce the fortunes of war have turned, they must find an excuse for the Dartlalltv dlsnlavad. and. In anrt behold, that excuse Is Germany's alleged hostility to democracy. Let them prove where there Is a oeonlai more content. with lesa pauperism and with the burden of government more equally distributed than lti Germany, where the social dem. ocrats control over 100 seata In parlia ment It la only alnce the euocesa of the German armies on the continent that this bugaboo of "foe of democracy" waa sprung on the 'gullible American public. A. U. MEYER." The Kaiser .3 War Lord. COZAR Neb., Sept. .-To the Editor of The Bee: Allow me to answer the letter of 8. P. Weybrtght. The writer topee that the Kalaer. - whom he calls the European war god, and Germany aa a nation be crushed out of existence. If we atudy the history of the world alnce 1871, the beginning of the German empire, aa It now exists, we find that this la her flrat war and also the first for the kalaer. while history records the foil wing wars alnce 1871: 1877, Russo-Turkish war. 1882, English occupation of Egypt. 1884, China-Japan war. 1894, French occupation of Madagascar. 1897.

The United States and Spain 1898, and It would be In war now with Mexico, If li was not for the waiting and watching policy of President Wilson. Now In face of these fact, who la the war god? If the kaiser la so fiendish for war, why did be bold back the Ger mans in 18SU, when they clamored for war agalnat Ruaalan arrogance, or why did be hold back In 19U&, when be could have wiped Russia off the map? No, air, the kaiser always was for peace, and so the Oermaa people except ' they are forced to war, aa now by unbearable oondttlona. Implacable hatred of France, because Germany In 1871 took back what Franc stole from her 2C0 years ago, the Insatiable greed of expansion of Russia and the Jealously of England. Now la .disarmament m Europe possible with Germany crushed, aa claimed? Russia ever alnos Peter the Great waa a nation of aggrealon and after (lrmany !a wiped off the map. It surely would attack Nor way and Sweden aa for many a year It haa cast a covetous eye at those coun tries: then It needs her army to quell her Internal disturbances and especially It needs the Coaaacka to rid down the defenseless Jewish women and children. Oreat Britain needa an army to keep in check the natives in' bar foreign posees- slons and France Is In the same boat.
