The Latest Historic Ride.
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

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. These figure will help folks to

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

ing tha Crimean war, and although the medal Itself

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.
