War's Irreparable Destruction.
What war mean Is being rradually brought
home by the destruction of historic buildings,
prtcehs wnrks of art and libraries of boohs
that never ran be replaced. This irreparable
havoc lias, we all know, accompanied other wars
whose devastations do not discriminate between
what is worth while, and what is of compar
atively little moment. War has from time to
time destroyed the richest legacies of past ages
to present and future generations. The wreck
ing of public buildings, cathedrals and other
historic structures In the present war evokes a
more general outcry only because we have come
to appreciate and value them more highly, and
to realize more thoroughly ttfat there ran be no
replacement.
Far sadder to contemplate, however, Is
war's irreparable destruction of human life.
Every man mowed down by the enemy's bullets
is sent to an untimely grave, and the years
which he should have lived are absolutely
blotted out. It Is inevitable that the death roll
Include' men of' genius and talent full of
promise, men who might build great cathedrals,
or exfeute 1'iiinortal works of art, or, by new In

Nebraska's Welcome.
Nebraska welcomes Colonel Roosevelt on
his revisit to our atate, which hau been favored
by him on nearly every western tour he has
made. As our former' president, as a dis
tinguished soldier and statesman, as a noted
explorer, geographer and natural philosopher,
he' commands the universal acclaim despite
widespread disagreement with many of the
political doctrines he is preaching and his third
party plans. Wherever he appears in Nebraska
he la bound to meet with an enthusiastic recep
tion, and have an attentive audleuce. Omaha,
unfortunately, la not thia time included In his
speech-making schedule, but we all Join in the
hope that he will continue to enjoy health and
prosperity, and. come again when he will not
have to hurry paat us.
Most people who read of the wonderful skill
of artillerists in the firinfc lines' are Justified in

Mr. Bryan's Bouquets.
Mr. Bryan's Commoner Is contributing to
the gaiety of the campaign by showering verbal
bouquets over, his own signature upon all the
democratic candidates for the United States sen
ate deemed by him to be worthy of special com
mendation. Among those favored in the current
issue are Senators Stone pf Missouri, Newlands
of Nevada, Fletcher of Florida, Congressman
Neeley of Kansas, Mr. Fhelan of California and
Mr. Hogan bf Ohio. The feature of these en
dorsements, which cannot fall to draw attention.
Is-that they all point to the public records of
each particular candidate' emphasizing their
help to, or sympathy with, the Wilson policies
without once mentioning their loyalty, or dis
loyalty, to Mr. Bryan in any of his three-time
presidential campaigns, when he might, at least,
in the casea ot Senator Stone and Senator New-
lands, have appealed to his friends to support
them in return for their former service to hla
personal, cause.. . The presumption is that' the
Hat will be lengthened by addition before elec
tion day heaves in sight, although It is hardly
to be expected that any of 'the Bryan bouquets
will be -aimed in the direction' of Roger' SulUvau
of Illinois,- who may consider himself lucky if

Pork Barrel on Its Last Legs.
' Whatever the immediate outcome, the great
fight put up against the pork barrel rivers and
harbora appropriation bill in the senate under
the lead of Senator Kenyon and Senator Bur
ton, deserves vigorous approval, and the ammu
nition they have used Is certain not to be was'ted.
The gigantic rivers and harbors grab has
come to be the perfection of so-called omnibus
bills, the omnibus being made to take on enough
passengers la the form of local appropriations
to insure the support of the necessary majority
to put it across. The vlclousness ef this method
of legislation has been exposed time and again,
and at last the load has about reached the break
ing point. - It te the geneTal Impression among
competent .observers at the capital that the
whole present system would by this time have
been abandoned and-the work of river improve
ment put upon a scientific and expert basis ex
cept for the fact that the chief recipients of the
pork are scattered through the south, and the
dominating element of the. controlling democ
racy is the southern representation, which in
sists on this payment for atandlng by the party
program. These southern congressmen refuse,
without being forced to dp so, to let go of their
pet projects for deepening creeks and widen
ing harbors, or making channels for navigation
that does not exist, and cannot be developed
sufficiently to Justify the expenditure in a thou
sand years. It Is against this system that the
opposition mainly republican has been 'ex
pending well directed energies, and so well di
rected that, win or lose this time, the pork
barrel la tottering on Its last legs. '

Aaala Spader Speaks Oat.
OMAHA. Sept. 11-To the Editor of The
Pee Of all the darn fools who write for
the Ietterbox. of your valuable paper
since the war started, one D. C. John Is
the worst. His letter In The Bee la brim
ming over with falsehoods and hatred
against Germany. It If not the kaiser.
It Is the whole nation, for Germany Is
upholding him in everything he la doing.
I am sorry Germany ever got Into
an alliance with Austria and Italy,
for she could have fought this war
single-hunted better than she does
now. Ho long aa Germany waa In
alliance with Austria, and the latter
dec-tared war against Fervla for the bru
tal murder of Prince Ferdinand, and after
she refused to make reparation for this
atrocious crime, and the Ruas commenced
to mobilise to send his army aralnst
Austria. William stepped In a representa
tive of the German people. For that mat
ter, he stepped In for the rest ot Kurope
and pleaded with the Cossack to keep
hands off, for William knew what waa
u-comlrg. If he would let tbe Russ crush
Austria," the hungry bear wouldn't stop
at that and would overrun the wholn of
Europe while he was at It: and as all hla
pleading fell on deaf ears, poor Germany
Is today struggling, you might say, for
the whole white race and VlvHUatlon. and
it Is misunderstood, misrepresented and
vllllfled; but there Is another day a
comlng, and Germany will ae vindicated
as one of the most peaceable and pro
gressive nations on earth, and also vindi
cated about the causes of this war.
We Germans don't blame France' ' ao
much aa we do England, for the French
are a revengeful people In Instinct, and
have bad a sore spot ever since 1S70. and
so we will not' blame her so terrible
much, for she thought this was tha
chance of her life to get even. But What
about England? This yellow-eyed, Jealous
monster stepping" In Instead of coming out
straight like the other two! 6 he still had
to have some kind of, a deceitful excuse
tn take a hand, so she bad to uphold
the neutrality of Belgium. Wonder If
she would have done the same thing If
France had taken the liberty to eress Bel
glum territory Before Germany did? And
thia would have happened If she wasn't a
little slow ' to get there. Wonder If
treacherous England would have declared
war on France on this account? Oh, no;
not by the length of your nose"! .'
Well, I won't say any more 'pf this
man, John's, letter; It is too silly.- His
trry wlU tell the truth by and by. This
war had to come, and Germany was pre
pared for It. -If she had not been, where
would she be today? When the ball waa
started rolling, she had to step In to
save herself, or try to, . anyhow. Lord
help her. Is my prayer!
MATT SPADER.
American Cookeury the Best Ever.
OMAHA. Sept. J0.-To the Editor of The
Bee: It appears to all concerned that It
Is absurd and ridiculous for Americans
to press down upon Americans the faet
that none but French cooks or chefs
are capable of running a flrst-claaa hotel.
What's the matter with our American
cooks? We have besides them, Italian,
German. Irish and negro cooks', also
others cooks that will give you a bill of
fare without the "a la's" er the "condes"
and similar ne-uae pams. !
, What we want and what we need la home
cooking, palatable and easily digested.
But If folks prefer i French food and
French dishes, we oan put them up, too.
But for good food, for good health, give
us original American cooks, and America
Is full ot them. Negroes are born cooks.
and have been under cooks for French
cooks ever since 1830; thsy are some
rooks, too, believe me, both men and
women. Any hotel keeper, therefore.
ran get first-class cooks here and else
where that will satisfy his guests.

Medical Inspection of School Call,
i Area. .
OMAHA, Sept. Zl.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Dr. Connsll advises ."Inspection of
school children. I cannot understand why
such a plan as this should, not be favor
ably acted upon. Many a child's lite
would have been' spared If wa had such a
law. Parents know , by experience that
the different contagious diseases are
caught aa aoon as ' the children start
to school. If parents . were - careful
In the matter of keeping their chil
dren out of school when they showed
the least symptoms of a contagious
disease, there probably would, ha no need
of such a law. This I know they do not
do. As a rule, it Is either Indifference or
Ignorance on their part In having their
children expose others. Therefore, every
parent should encourage thia admirable
plan of Dr. Connsll. - A MOTHER.

SILVER CREEK, Neb.. Sept H. To
the Editor of The Be: Today we are
Informed . that President Wilson sees
little prospect of peace, and that h haa
concluded that until something "more
tangible and more definite In the way of
overtures comes from the belligerents" he
can do nothing.
And yet people are lauding the presi
dent as a great statesman and a great
diplomat. He la neither, but rather an
officious, meddlesome and conceited per
son of mediocre ability, whom the chances
of politics and the work of two very dis
tinguished traltora have plaoed In a very
exalted position. When Wilson had Is
sued has neutrality proclamation. It waa
then time for hlin to keep still and attend
to hla own business.
To tender his services as "mediator'
when the war had but Just begun and It
should have been evident to the veriest
blockhead fiat neither aide would offer
terms the other could possibly accept,
was only calculated to gain a little, cheap
applause from unthinking people. When
thk war shall have gone on until one side
Is decisively beaten, er sees It la about to
be beaten, or until all are well exhausted
and willing to call It a draw, then, aad
not until then, will be time to talk about
mediation; and then. If the president's
services are dealred. he will probably not
have to watt long for an Invitation.

Saturday Evening Post. ,
From Maraulay's esfay on Frederick the Great:
"No such union of continental powers had been seen
for ages. A leas formidable confederacy had compelli-d
Louis XIV to bow down h i haughty hoad to tha rery
earth. Such odda had never been heard of In war.
The people whom Frederick ruled were not five mil
lions. The population of the countries leagued against
him onousted to a hundred m'lllons. The dlsrroportlon
In wealth waa at least equally great. At the beginning
of November the net seemed to have closed completely
round him. The Russians were In the field and were
spreading devastation through hla eastern province..
Silesia waa overrun by the Austrlans. A great French
army was advancing from the west under command of
Marshal Soublee. Berlin Itself had been taken and
plundered by the Croatlana. fuch was the situation
from which Frederick extricated h!mself with daaillng
Slory In the short space of thirty days."
Or take France of 193, rent and shattered by the
revolution,' with anarchy and rebellion at home, with
hardly a government, with little money and leas-credit,
menaced by a coalition that at her best would have far
outmatched her In paper strength and r.s.ng to
trample all her opponents under foot.
In our own time It was easily settled on paper that
little Japan could hot possibly maintain a footing dn
land against Russia: and we have seen England, tn
order to subdue a handful of Dutch farmers In South
Africa, compelled to put forth aa great an effort as
when she struggled with Napoleon at the height of
his power. '
Brat Place for War Victims.
(Colliers Weekly.l
A good many people. c.re being detached from their
customary employment or source of Income by the
pressure of the crisis In Europe. To all such who are
looking about for a new start, the best suggestion wt
can give Is that the lend Is the place where living Is
cheapest and the cost f shelter hardly exists at all.
No man forced out of employment thia winter la In
any worse plight than millions of Immlgranta who
have landed in America with less than $S0 In their
pockets. Those immigrants who have gone to the
land have teen able In the course of a few' years to
acquire a farm, to raise families, and to participate
in the nvost wholeeome gifts that American civilisa
tion has to offer. To be forced from the" city back
to the farm may seem a hardship to the man who
goes through the transition, but In the end he will be
better off and hla children will be benefited.
t'nlty ef the Oermaa People.
Albert Bushnell Hart In the Outlook.
Throughout the German empire, eapeclally In the
Industrial centers and large cities, socialists made great
headway; they elected a group of members to (the
Reichstag and took It upon themselves to bait khs
chancellor at every opportunity. 'Aa late as last year
they elected a member from the district In which the
Imperial residence Is situated. The south German
states and people felt submerged in the new empire,'
for Prussia through Its votes and those of the small
states which It controls always has a majority In the
Bundesrath, which means practically a veto on all
measures; and the emperor haa In military matters an
other veto on all propositions to alter existing, condi
tions. Nevertheless great steps have been taken in
the actual unification of the national aspirations
of the Germans. Most of them are eager for
colonies. ' If a poll could have been . taken last
July, It would probably have been found that most
of them felt that Holland or Belgium or both
were logically expansions of the German seacoast. All
of them (except the S.OOO.COO Poles In the eastern prov
inces) believed that they had a mission to extend the
German language, culture, prestige,- and authority for
the good ot mankind. All of them recognised the dan
gerous situation of their fellow Germans In Austria
Hungary. All of them stood, ready at any time to ac
cept the decUlon of- their war lord and hla counselors
that. the country waa In danger. No one can doubt
that the German nation Is completely unified In Its
determination to push the present war with every
means, usual and unusual, for the defense- ot father
land and the expana'pn pf the German empire. Defeat
would never destroy the German empire or shsce the
unification of the German people.
Tbe Charges of Race Bias.
Wall Street Journal.
There la probably not a newspaper, of any Im
portance In New York, to say nothing of those In other
great cities, which has not had the experience of hav
ing subscriptions cancelled on the charge of raoe bias.
If the Staata Zeltung could secure all the subscriptions
so cancelled on the Herald, the Times, the Eun, the
World, the Poet or the Press, on account of the position-
they have taken in the present war, It would have
a circulation it haa never yet enjoyed.
But these cancelled subscriptions came back. Dur
ing the Russian-Japanese war thia newspaper com
mented severely upon the corrupt official clique which
provoked war with Japan on an attempt to exploit the
mines and timber lands of Korea. Russian sympathis
ers cancelled their subscriptions. Bat Americans, who
wanted to know the facts, Irrespective of national
prejudice, took out new subscriptions. No newspaper
which stated the fact fearlessly really lost circulation.
In the end.
In the same way. during the Boer war, a great
many people here sympathised with the Boers. The
little South African republics represented the under
dog, right or wrong. The corruption of. the Kruger re
gime waa not considered. In the first dreadful three
months, when the British were getting licked all along
the Una, the fact was rubbed In, "b? cartoon and edi
torial. In a way to make present comment on the Get-
man position look mild by comparison.
No .one ho haa Impartially read the- American
press during this strenuous time can have failed to
no.tlre how really fair Its comment has been. One
critical German sympathiser. In fact, 'in protesting
strongly against an editorial In this paper, saya:
I personally think that Great Britain, or at least
Sir' Edward Urey, stands upon higher moral ground
than any of the other powers; and If the attitude jf
the Wall Street Journal were left to me, I would have
tp acknowledge, no matter how reluctantly, through
Ita columns that civilisation had more to expect from
a British than from a German victory.'.'
.' No doubt those with astigmatic sympathies woulj
this man a traitor. But In this ocdntry thoilght 1
free, and expression la free also.- There Is no breach if
neutrality tn criticism. Public opinion curbs the hand
of the tyrant, whether he be a kaiser or a customs In
spector. Tr.s decent American press is not open to the
pressure here described.

Raxsed and harpy. All day long
Their voices fill the air.
Above the fence the sunflowers stretch
And nod to passersbv;
Vines twine about the posts and reacn
Their elender tendrils high.
While clematis snd hollyhocks
Asslnst the biown walls press.
To hide Its bare worn sides from view,
And laugh at ttie'r success.
Petunias peep between the rails, .
In cheerful, joyous bend.
And f-nd their way lnt the world.
Clasped in warm, chubby hands.
The aliens who three wonder wrought.
speak not this tongue of ours,
But understand the universal
Lanfu;ire of the flowers.
Theirs the aun that, knows no country;
Theirs, moon ard stars that roam
O'er all the earth; theirs this new (and
Whete they have made A HOME.

t do not think mosquitoes are
Attractive pets or sweet.
I 'specially detest 'em when
They bite my dainty feet.
My whiskers ke?p them from my face.
My hands are safe In gloves,
My tender Instep Is the place .

You are interested, almost as much as we arc, -in
extending the use of the Safe Home Match.''
It is the most reliable, the most efficient and
the safest match that can be made. It is
absolutely non-poisonous. It is made under
conditions that forever do away with one of
the worst of occupational diseases. It re
moves a poison from the reach of children fh
American homes. . .
Wc ask you to use this new non-poisonous
match and to urge others to do likewise. If
Safe Home Matches were universally used,
scores of lives, and millions of dollars worth
of property would be saved every year..
