Tha superiority of The Bee's war news serv

Colonel Maher wants it distinctly under
stood that his typewriter battery is not yet out
of commission.
Never mind! Next year's chautalkers will
tell all about it, and leave nothing shrouded in
'mystery or unexplained.
When It comes to "atrocities," neither side
a fiercely waged war Is likely to prove a
monopoly on the enemy.

The Bee's Public School Roll of Honor Is

Now that Chauncey Depew is back on free
American soil, the real unvarnished truth
should be quickly forthcoming.
It must make those naval officers and tars
chafe to sit idly by while the landlubbers do all
the fighting and win all the glory.
"Twas ever thus." The farmer who held
his wheat is not sure but that he should have
sold, and the farmer who sold wishes he had
held oa a little longer.
Judging from the photographs, the track
of the tornado In Omaha affords the best com
parison we know of for the track of the Invad
ing armies through Belgium and France.
The stamp tsx section of the new war
revenue law Is to be greatly restricted by limit
ing the requirements of stamps on checks,
notes, etc. That means that the business of
stamplicklng will not be as brisk aa expected.
. This community bas plenty of good men,
and women too for that matter, eminently
qualified to serve on the school board to fill all
Impending vacancies ten times over. As a
rule, however, they are not the sort who go
scrambling for the places.
Which reminds us again, that a distin
guished statesman once went up and down the
land proclaiming that farmers would never see
dollar wheat again until the brutal single gold
standard of value was overthrown, and the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the sacred
ratio of 16 to 1 was substituted for it.
' But If both the old parties are as bad as

School Men in Line for Short Ballot
Fly recommending that the elective office of
stale superintendent be abolished and an ap
pointive commission of education bo given the
work that now devolves on the former, the
state commission engaged in drafting a revision
of our Nebraska school laws puts Itself In line
for the short ballot. While their recommenda
tion does not go beyond the one office of state
superintendent, the schoolmen can be consistent
only by supporting the whole 'demand for the
conversion of purely administrative offices into
appointive rather than elective positions. Ham
mered down to bed rock, every argument made
for taking the superintendent of our schools
out of the list of elective political offices will
apply with almost equal force to eliminating
from the ballot such offices as attorney general,
land commissioner, auditor, secretary of state,
and treasurer, and likewise to the county super
intendency snd various county administrative
offices.
Tor the proposed abolition of the state su
perintendent as an elective officer, which must
be accomplished by amendment to the constitu
tion. It will take not less than two years, and
If the machinery Is to be set In motion It may
as well be comprehensive for the same section
of the constitution that provides for the elec
tion of a state superintendent of schools pro
vides for the election of all the other executive
state officers. Pulling for the short ballot will
bring about what the schoolmen want and will
bring It about more quickly and more surely
because It will enlist a lot of help for the pull.
War News Here and Abroad.
While on the subject of complaint about al
leged inadequate or Inaccurate war news sent
over the cables to America, that part of the of
ficial statement given out in Berlin the other
day by Ambassador Gerard should not escape
notice. We refer to the part in which he feels
called upon to deny a report current there "that
the United States is preparing to join the al
lies." It goes without saying that our ambassador
would aot deem It Incumbent upon him to en
ter denial unless the report had become fairly
widespread, and was being disseminated' ta a
way to Impress people that It came from au
thoritative sources. To us over here the very
Idea that the Germans In Berlin should be
worked up over the possibility of the United
States mixing in with their adversaries Is so
preposterous that no Intelligent person wonld
seriously entertain it, for it is unthinkable that
the United States will become involved in this
war unless drsgged in.
The incident, however, should serve as a re
minder that the American newspaper readers,
more favored than those in any other country,
alone have all the war news available from all
sources, and no censor keeping out what is dis
pleasing or suppressing publications that give
the other side.
On the Wrong Tack.
Postmaster General Burleson has In mind
some little economies by which he thinks he can
save $20,000,000 without impairing the service
to the public. -The postmaster general's plan,
as we gather it, Is to dlscontlnde rural free de
livery as now provided, and to have the work
done by contract In some fashion more or less
similar to the old star route system.
The postmaster general Is taking the wrong
tack. The people of this country who foot the
bills would like very much to save $20,000,000
a year out of the postofflce budget, but they
will hardly approve any backward step la the
conduct of tbe postal business. We have gotten
away as far as possible from star route methods
that were so replete with fraud and seared.!,
and have proceeded on the theory that the saf
est and surest' way to handle, the malls expedi
tiously Is-for Uncle Sam to do It himself. If we
were to go back to the contract system there
would be no good reason for stopping with the
rural free delivery when perhaps as much, or
more, money might be saved by handing the
city free delivery over to contractora. Our Just
inaugurated parcels post might also be sublet
back to the express companies.
No, Mr. Postmaster General, the people will
welcome economies effected through stopping
leaks or improved efficiency, but they will not
stand for the upsetting of the rural free de
livery service.
The Beaction Toward Business.
No wide-awake observer can have failed to
see a noticeable reaction of public opinion in
this country toward business and Industry aa
voiced by the demand for restrictive legislation
and punitive prosecutions. Only a little while
ago the atmosphere was surcharged with de
nunlcalons of trusts and combines, and, arraign
ments of unfair or Illegal repression of com
petitors. The incitement to this state or public
mind moreover came from real evils and abuses,
the most flagrant of recent Instances being un
covered in the New Haven mess.
Yet to date, we have had no important new
legislation aimed at big business unless the re
serve bank bill be taken as a blow at the money
trust, but the acute complaints are plainly sub
siding, and the disposition seems to be to give
both big and little business a chance without
much more Interference unless fresh abuses
develop. Even the railroads have had a partial
concession to their request for rate Increase,
Although by no means freed from accountability
to and regulation by the various state and Inter
state commissions. Our business ailments" or
backwardness right now are ascribed to other
causes rather than fear of hostile legislation,
and when these troubles clear up, as they must
inevitably before long, the way should be
opened for renewed Industrial and commercial
activity at once aggressive and progressive, and
as vigorous In expansive powers as ever.
A versatile gentleman has been unearthed
ho writes letters for publication with great
cre to make them suit the newspaper which he
addresses. He writes one letter to the Lincoln
Journal damning Hitchcock and Hltchcockism,
and another letter to the World-Herald prais
ing Senator Hitchcock a'nd. telling him how
proud he is of him. We regret to say that the
fake letter-writer Is one of the banes of the ed
itorial existence, and It takes real discrimina
tion to Identify the bogus. That la why The
Dee tries hard to safeguard Its letter box, al
though the impostor Is bound occasionally to
circumvent the strictest watchfulness.

SOt'TH OMAHA. Sept 2D.-To the
Kdltor of Tha Bee: In the "Arguments
In Favor of Woman Suffrage Amend
ment" Issued by the Nebraska Woman
Suffrage association a statement Is made
that Abraham Lincoln made a speech in
which ha practically advocated giving
the right of suffrage to all, Including
women.
I do not believe Abraham Lincoln ever
made such a statement at all. A well
known man of considerable prominence
who has a great many of the speeches,
letters, papers and many sayings of Un
coln In his possession wrote me that In
a careful search he falls to find that
Lincoln aver made any statement that
could possibly be twisted Into the form
quoted.
Woman suffrage was only thought of
as a Joke during the times of Lincoln, for
far more momentous questions faced tha
American people In the conflict that In
volved tha life of our nation. If anybody
ran how from some strictly authentic
sourrs that Abraham Lincoln aver made
the statement attributed to him, I will
believe It, but wo do not want quotations
from cyclopedias gotten up forty years
after the death of Lincoln, nor from
other sources not strictly reliable.
The only reliable source I know of
would be the works of John Hay. ona of
Lincoln's private secretaries, who edited
tha one authentic Ufa of Lincoln. I
would Ilka to see someone prove by .he
writings of John Hay that Abraham Lin
coln aver made the statement I have
mentioned. The quotation sounds too
much Ilka the "Seven Financial Con
spiracies" that we heard so much of dur
ing the times of populism.

Watehfat Waiting;.
YORK, Neb., Sept. .-To the Editor
of Tha Bee: - I see our soldier boys have
been called home (where they belong)
from Vera Crux. Much praise Is given
the watchful waiting policy of the ad
ministration for keeping us out of war
with Mexico. Right here is the place to
say that such profession and the per
formance In this case do not fit at all.
For wa quit the waiting and began the
fighting when we fired on and took 'Vera
Crui, from where the war would have
spread over the country until we today
would be at war with Mexico but for the
offers of the South American nations to
try and settle It for us. I am more than
glad to say I give the president full
credit for his willingness to let them do It
If they cu. For wa war In bad In that
muss. And' I believe the president sin
cere when he says he la for peace. But
there Is Just about as much harm done
by blunders as by malic. And I think
It was a bad blunder that Mr. Fletcher
made when he took Vera Crui, and also
a worse ona when Mr. Wilson gave his
full endorsement of the act T. POPE.
Dlrlae Right aad Civilisation.
OMAHA, Sept . To the Editor of Tha
Bee: Mr. Meyer Is determined to keep
"England" In Its proper place, but ha
charges It with too much. It and the
allies, he says, want to crush Germany
because, among other things, 'it ean
Justly be proud of a superior civilisation."
Why waste space telling us of German
civilisation? Wa all know that country
has done splendidly In many ways, but
owing to tha "dlvlna right" theory, humbly
accepted by all Germans except the so
cialists. It Is two centuries behind the
United Kingdom, which In Its turn Is
lagging behind France and Swttierland.
We have a theory bar that a high civil
isation and the divine right claim cannot
exist together. As to the blame for the
horrible war, It all appears to be a ease
of the pot calling tha kettle black.
And why do German-Americans so Jar
forget themselves as always to bring up
1776 T They are supposed to be well read.
As tha present war may last for time.
It may be as well to save them future
references of this kind by setting down
here a few facta.
There Is a document In the British mu
seum signed In 1216. It ts tha Great Char
ter forced by 8tephen de Langton and
the barons from King John, who
screamed, "By God's teeth I wilt not
grant thera liberties that will make m a
slave." But he had to do It. One of the
provisions of this charter was that no
money should be levied by way of tea on
tha commons of England without their
consent previously expressed by their own
representatives. That doctrine stood In
the time of George III and stands today.
King George, honest and bull-headed,
attempted to set the doctrine aside, and
we know what happened. Tha colonists
were simply standing upon a right guar
anteed more than five centuries before
they were born. Tbey did net want ta
separata from England; but fortunately
they did so and when the Germans of
today separate from their kaiser taste.
of "hochlng" for him they will be nearer
civilisation.
English people had smashed divine right
further In less and elected a man to th
throne who by the usual hereditary course
was not entitled to It. but tha lesson was
lost on George. He and his aristocrats
determined to reverse tha decision ef Utf
and !M and why Mr. Meyer or the German-American
alliance should blame tha
people for what was done by a few Is
hard to see, especially when we remem
ber that In Wit the German and Russian
millions of soldiers are moved at the will
of two mea. The kaiser la the grandson
of George's niece, and seems to be a chip
of the old block. Bismarck and ha aad
their aristocrats have dlvlna right oa the
brain.
Acre ef print are bow run through the

"Silent" Johnnie French
His full name and title Is Field Marshal Sir John
Plngstoae French, commander-in-chief of the British
expeditionary forces In France. But the British
army from Tommy Atkins up knows him simply as
"Silent Johnny French." The Boers In South Africa
gave him a still shorter name; they called him "Devil"
and they had good reason. The Germans before the
war used to call hlni Frglsnd's greatest tactician ami
Europe's greatest cavalry leader. What manner of
man he la every reader ef the Bee who read the
other day' his report of the "glorious stand of the
British troops' between August 3 and August can
Judge.
Sir John French is the personification of English
coolness and coursge. The dispatches from the front
have painted little vignettes of him in the field walk
ing among his men quietly smoking. That Is charac
teristic of the man. It la said of the man that he
went through some of the hardest fighting of the
Boer war. without once raising his vole or hasten
ing hla step. Out there the Tommies used to say of
him: "Old French don't bark much, but. Lord, don't
he hioomln' well bite." It was his bite that made the
Boers call him "Dulvel."
French was ubiquitous on the veldt. And he
never got frightened or rattled. The tighter the
place he found hlmrelf In the cooler was French.
Once when dining with Oeneral Ian Hamilton during
the progress of one of his famous raids the Boers
topped and shelled the camp. They got the range
of headquarters down to an inch and an orderly
rushed Into the tent where French and Ian Hamilton
were dining to announce that shells were falling all
about It. "Silent" French said, "Thank you," and or
dered another chop.-
That's tha manner of man England has sent Into
the field to command Its armies. What might have
happened to the British forces between Mons and
Comptegne If "8ilent" French had not been In con
trol of the situation makes grim speculation. He ts
really a most extraordinary man. That he t in the
army at all Is an, accident. Hla family's ambition
was to make him a clergyman, but that was never
realised, and he drifted Into the navy. ' He spent four
years In the English navy and ever since the English
navy has taunted the English army with the claim
that the best soldier it has is a sailor.
Like so many other good soldiers. Field Marshal
French Is an Irishman, though ha was born In the
English county of Kent, sixty-two years ago. His
People were not rich nor Influential; that ts why
young French was designed for the ministry. Boy
and man he has been noted for the mildness of his
manners, for economy of speech and for tha coldly
persistent and cautious way he went about thlnga
He left, the English navy because It was a dull life
and got Into the cavalry branch of the army because
he liked horses. But though he has been a cavalry
man now for forty years he has never learned to ride
a horse with distinction. '
When he was 22 ha was gasetted to the Eighth
Hussars, and a few weeks later to tha Nineteenth.
It was In 18S4 that he first saw service when the Hllo
expedition was sent to rescue Gordon. In December
of that year 1.100 of the flower of the British army.
French among them, led by Sir Herbert Stewart, com
menced their march across the Bagoda desert, and
at Abu Klea fought the most savage and bloody bat
tle England ever engaged in In Egypt After this
battle French, Impeded with stores and wounded,
marched twenty-seven miles across the desert, to Me
temneh on the Nile. French saw some desperate
fighting In that forlorn dash across the desert When
the machine gun Jammed In the fierce fight at Abu
Klea, and tho British square was rushed by howling
dervishes, the killing Included the hero of tha "Bide
to Khiva," Colonel Bumaby, who was struck down
at French's side by a poisonous Javelin.
It was during thfs campaign that French made
that impression on General Butler which resulted later
In his South African experiences. After his work In
Egypt French spent soma years on the staff of the
Inspector general of cavalry In India. It was here
that he made the study of cavalry which has made
him the greatest leader of cavalry alive. From India
he was transferred to Aldershot in England, where
he attempted to put some of hla own original Ideas
about cavalry In operation. Every new cavalry tactic
he displayed, however, was frowned upon. His
superior officers considered the young enthusiast a
little Wt demented on the subject of cavalry and
finally he was recommended for retirement That
meant dismissal from tha service, and at that time
England came perilously near losing forever the man
who saved Its army from annihilation the other day.
It was General Buller who saved French. When
Buller waa sent out to Africa to take charge of the
campaign he Invited young French to Join his staff.
That waa the first great opportunity that had come
to French and he made It make him.
General Buller gave him command of the cavalry
division In Natal with the rank of major general.
His first Wow to the Boers waa the victory of Eland
slaghte, which desperate fight the Tommies dubbed
" 'Ell and Slaughter." French was' In Klmberley
when the Boera first Invested the town. Sir George
White, who knew how valuable French would be In
the field, sent him away from Klmberley on the last
train that got out A shell passed through tha car
riage In which French was traveling, but when It
did he waa lying under a seat smoking a c'jir.
When Lord Roberts arrived on the scene he called
on French to help lum In the relief of Klmberley.
With 8,000 men French commenced a wild ride tu
assist the beleaguered town. Ha crossed two rivers,
over parched, waterless veldt, and then had the
crowning Joy of a straight, uninterrupted run Into
Klmberley and knowing It was saved. Immediately
oat arrival, however, came the news of Cronje's flight
Kvry man who waa fit to ride waa asraln In tha sad
dle, and they set off on a long night gallop to close
one unprotected rift and head off the Boer command.
The result was the surrender at Paardeberg, which
covered French with glory. But there was more of It
In store for him, for he commanded the cavalry di
vision at the capture of Blomfonteln and Pretoria, as
well winning many other brilliant actions during tha
remainder of the war. H was mentioned In dis
patches many tlmea and received the.K.C.B. and
K.C.M.G.
On returning to England he waa given command
at Aldershot becoming In turn lieutenant general m
1901 and full general at the age of H. In 1IU he be
came chief of the Imperial staff and first military
member of tbe army council, being made a field mar
shal In 1913.
In March ef last J ear when the Ulster trouble be
came acute. General French resigned from the staff
rather than be involved In any conflict with bis own
countrymen. And Tommy Atkins, who Idolised
French, stood with the man who has led thera out of
a many tight places.
