It makes the blood tingle, this thrilling ride of the president from golf links to cap I to! to sign the war revenue bill before congress ad journs. Like a flash his auto flies through the streets, pureued by eurlons crowds. The presi dent is clad la his white golf flannels. He leaps from the machine and up the big atone steps, three at a time, to reach bis desk Just as the big clock is about to tick off the last minute of grace. !ls "specs," where are theyt A senator thrusts a strange pair into his hands. The pres ident seises a pea and whips his signature across the paper Just In time to save the day for a strangling natjon. Now, of coqrse, what future historians may say of his famous ride, we do not know. It was spectacular, no donbt of that, but the glamor surrounding it Is punctured in two or three places. First, congress being a very perverse creature, did not adjourn after all, but went along filibustering. Second, tho treasury, while needing a war revenue measure, was far from strangulation. And, no doubt, President Wilson, with nat ural dignity, will let 'the Incident slip by with out further ado. Three Deterring1 Congressmen. Of Nebraska's six representatives In the lower house at Washington three are republic ans, and all three, namely, Sloan in the Fourth, Barton in the Fifth and lUnkald in the Sixth district, . have been renominated, practically without opposition. What is more, prospects oil point to their re-election by safe majorities, as should be where constituents appreciate faithful and painstaking service. Congressman K'nkald's long experience in the halls of legls- atlon has put him In the ranks of the veterans, while Congressman Sloaa has been coming rap- Idly to the front as one of the republican floor leaders. Congressman Barton, though serving his first term, has in many ways proved his use- ulaess. All these republicaa members of the Nebraska delegation have been alive to the in terests of the state, and their districts, and even vthere they hare differed upon measures have merely manifested an independence asserting their honest convictions. Tho voters of their re spective districts wilt do well for themselves, for Nebraska and for the nation to keep thera where they are.

Is This a Way Out I "If we owe Great Britain 1100,000,000, and if we have cotton to that amount which Great Britain needs, it ought not to be difficult to make a trade," suggests the Baltimore Sun. Possibly this might afford a way out of our mu tual troubles. Why was not this phase of the question more fully considered In congress ahead of the fiat money plan for the south? England would have nothing but gold for her obliga tions? Well, then we might, insist on nothing but gold for pur cotton and accounts might balance, Yelj through emergency action we have gone to work to hasten our hundreds of millions, In gold to Europe to meet recurring obligations sine the war begup, while not only England, but other warring - countries, are unable, it seems, to offer us any relief in return. The cot top, crisis is, ta ha We, a national affair, not to be reckoned entirely .from a sectional point of view, and would -Justify soma special arrange ment If it could be brought about. Even though It be urged that, so far England la concerned, It la merely a matter pt the price of cotton, the exchange still should pot be Impossible. " ' ' Call for Yankee Genius. Now that the war has put the Parisian fash- Ion makers hors du combat, many senHtble Americans, are crying for styles of our own. And why set, as The Bee has already suggested? Qur toadyism is a vary costly luxury, to sustain, and the war will teach us that It Is by no means IndleoenRable! . i But a larger question arise in this connec tion. Why ao to Europe as much as we have been dotnar for the material to. make our cloth ing? . It Is absurd enough, to Import the fashions. far wore so tq import the materials, we have the raw products in our own country, much of which we ship to Europe and buy back In the form of, finished goods, along wth, a lot of fro tesque style's. It is poor business, and how t ha escaped, our Ynke f cniu lon "ally amaslng. " ' Medals of Honor The Case of Steel. The forma) action now being taken before the federal courts In Philadelphia to dissolve the V'u'ted States Steel Corporation la the out growth of the move begun vndey the, Taft ad. ministration In I'll. Under the date of July I, of that year, Herbert Knox 8mlth, commissioner c corppretlops, fU4 an exhaustive report, show log the astounding mastery el this greatest of al) modern industrial combines. It controlled, not only the refined product, but the raw ore as well, and utterly defied competition. As a matter of fact, it controlled two-thirds of the country's crude steel and from one-half to four- fifths of the principal rolled Steel products, being therefore thoroughly integrated from ore to the flashed output. The country is now reminded that, while the corporation's capital is placed at $1,400,000,000, of this 1500,000,000 is charged to ce excessive. The corporation wa organised with (la round numbers) $510,000, 00s of preferred stock. 1508,000,000 of common stock, SOS,000,000 of corporation bonds, and about 181,000,000 of un deriving and miscellaneous obligations. While the claim was made by the steel company that the value Justified a fair business return on this capitalisation, the commUnloner insisted that the fairest tangible value would not exceed 1700.000,009, The steel grant has also dominated the af fairs of I a per ceat of the railroads of this couatry, aorordlng to Information brought out by the Stanley Investigating comnuttee. This congressional committee found . the aggregate value of railroads to be about $18,000,000,000, with the Steel corporation controlling f 10.000, CO0.O00 of It.

Brltaiaa Bow Deoo rat leas. Oreat Britain haa Instituted two new hare aecora tlona as rewards for distinguished services on land and sea In the present war. The Immensity of the etrucfle and tha numbers eim(ed develop such va riety of uncommon service that eiUtlng medals ot honor, with rf trie ted condi(toas of award, do not fully meet the needs of the service. Tha nw"daoora tlona comprise a "distlacuishsd service medal," avail able for non-commissioned officers and men In - the army and navy where "conspicuous sallantry medals" would not ha applicable, aad a -"c'onsplmious service cross," which may be won by officers below the rank of lleutfnapt cpmmander. The most prised of all the Inairniaa or vaior awarded In Ureat Britain la the Victoria cross. The little Malteaa crone of hronae bearing the simple In scription, "For valor." had Its origin In the Crimean war, and was primarily Intended to be conferred upon junior commissioned officers and tha 'rank and file. Neither rank, length of service, wounds aor any cir cumstance whatsoever ean qualify for this noble badge save a personal act of signal ' bravery per formed In the presence of the enemy. The decoration was Instituted br Queen Victoria In 1WS. the prince consort being, it la said, its originator aad the de signer of the Insignia of It Each Victoria cross ! mad from brona wnion once formed port of aom Russian gruns captured dur ing tha Crimean war, and although the medal Itself la Intrinsically worth only about fourpence, halfpenny.'. a number of them have been sold at sales for 100 and over. The winning of the Vlotorla cross osj-rta an annuity of 10, which may be Increase to 50, payable quarterly, to all exoept officers, but Including those who have risen from the ranks. Sixty years ago the Russian fortress oft Bomariund, n the Baltlo He a, was being bombarded by an Angi Of French force Suddenly a shell fired from. the fortress fell on the deck of H. af . 8. llecla. In an Instant ,a brave young mat aalsed It, and, with fun hissing between his hands, he fung It with a jerk overboard. That young mat h ultimately became Rear Admiral Charles Davis lAicas, who died a few days ago waa Immedi ately promoted lieutenant and awarded the Victoria cross, being the first to win that much-coveted deco ration, although, owing to thre -other offlaers being of senior rank, he was the fourth actually to receive It from Queen Victoria. Iron Crosa of Oerraaay. ' Dispatches from derm any frequently tell how the emperor has been distributing the Iron .croa among officers and men who have distinguished themselvsa in the war. The decoration was Instituted a century ago by Frederick William in, king of Prussia, aa a reward for bravery In the Nepoleonlo wars. The original design consisted of an Iron cross of the form known as "croa patte," with a border of silver sus pended by a black ribbon with 'two whit stripes. In the oenter of the crosa with a spray of three oak leaves and above it was a crown with the Initials "P. W." and the data of 1811. When the Franco-Prussian war began Emperor William I revived the order, which had languished. The only change in the cross was that the Initial be came a "W" and the date was changed to 1870, Since the Franco-Prussian war no Iron crosses have been awarded, the order being strictly a military one and the awards being made for deeds ef daring ta battls. . . Thar are many German orders, dating from the feudal days, when the Teuton barons awarded to their lieges various marks of favor.1 ' These order, however, are mainly conferred by the rulers ef tho various kingdoms and principalities constituting the empire, and many of them are for terms of military service or for distinguished work in devising military weapons.
