Italy's War Pronunciaraento.
Italy's formal dcclnratlon of war upon Aus
tria will surprise no one the real surprise Is
that with circumstances steadily and inevitably
bringing it into the conflict It was held back
so long.
While the war malfesto Is directed at Aus
tria alone. It tan be taken in no way than that
Italy Is Joining with the powers of so-called
entente and making common cause with them as
opposed not only to Austria, but also to Germany
and Turkey aa well. Further declarations In
cluding the other nations In the Italian war op
erations msjr be forthcoming, but they are en
tirely unnecessary. There Id no such thing
with existing conditions as any two of the war
ring countries confining their offensive to one
another. '
That the terrible European war conflagration
bhould have to spread before it can be extin
guished Is heart-sickening. Only If the advent
of Italy In some Inscrutable way operates to
hasten the end and speed the day of restored
peace can anyone be reconciled to it.
Vital Factors in City Building
Let It be kept constantly in mind that there
ere two ways of developing Omaha aa an In
dustrial center. It Is necessary to attract from
time to time new mills, factories and workshops,
1'Ut It Is equally necessary to give the established
manufacturing concerns the local support they
deserve and the patronage that will enable them
to prosper and develop. What makes Omaha
l;row is the steady expansion of its various In
dustries increasing the number of mechanics,
wage workers and other employes, who in turn
become the householders patronizing every Una
of business and every professional activity. The
made-tn-Omaha product of proved merit ahould
appeal specially to every Proaha consumer be
cause it is one of the vital factors In the upbuild
ing of tbe city. . ,
Foreitration for Nebraska.
The Nebraska Academy of Sciences has
adopted a resolution endorsing the report of
the Nebraska Forestratlon commission and urg
ing the adoption of Its recommendations. A
copy of this report is not at hand, so that it can
not here be discussed, but the subject Is one of
Immense Importance to Nebraska. That It has
been neglected so long is not especially credita
ble to us as progressive people.
As far back as ten years ago, C. F. Harrison
of York had demonstrated the adaptability of
the Jack pine to the climate and soli of Ne
braska'a aand hill section. The Inquiry, obser
vation and experimentation of the United States
Conservation commission established the prac
ticability of he forestratlon of a large portion
of what Is now waste land In Nebraska. It la
possible to make the sand hills bear pine trees
and grasses that will render the region availa
ble tor grazing purposes far beyond Its present
possibilities.
The Bee has presented this matter to the
public on ,many occasions and has urged it en
the legislature as a proper bject for'carefnl,
attention. Forestratlon deserves to be- pushed,'
because of the good that It contains 'for the'
future of the state, but It is for tbe state to
assume the expense and responsibility for the
direction and care of the enterprise that la
greater In its promise than nine out' of ten
projects put forward with more of , urgency.
The action of the Academy of Science ahould
not be permitted to fail with the adoption of
the resolution referred to, but should be given
such support that when the next legislature
meets the subject of forestratlon may be so
presented that It cannot be Ignored or pigeonholed.
Another Reviving Industry.
Reports from various shipyards and ma
chine shops along the coasts establish the fact
that the marine engineering Industry is in a very
healthy condition of activity Just at present.
Americana are really entering into ocean traffic
again with something like a determination to
become a factor In the world carrying trado.
The failure of the administration shipping bill
In the senate apparently was not fatal to the
revival of enterprise along these lines. Numer
ous large ocean steamers are under construction
bow for American owners, to be added to the
cargo-carriers under the American flag, while
It Is stated the American line will ask the gov
ernment for a loan to construct two ships of the
Lusitania type, a matter' which will have to
await congressional action.
Not alone are the ship builders of the United
States busy with orders from American owners,
but South American companies are buying many
vessels for increasing their merchant navies.'
Facilities for docking In many eastern coast har
bors are being Increased, and other improve
ments and extensions for greater facility in
handling ocean traffic are being provided, it
appears that the shipping business, seriously oa
It has been affected by the war, Is not In n
bad way, and that Americans actually are taking
advantage of the opportunity to again become
a factor In ocean traffic.
From a flush and flasny candidate for Unite 1
States senator to a debtor'a prison In New York,
measures the toboggan slide of J. Edward Ad
dicks of Delaware. In his efforts to attain the
former eminence eleven years of his life and
approximately $3,000,000 were wasted. Tbe
case furnishes another Instance of ambition and
fortune overreaching themselves.
American hearts surfeited witn sympathy
for a suffering old world should not overlook
the sorrows of Mexico's revolutionary press
sgents. Forced out of the publicity spotlight
by more Important events, their grief deserves
a sympathetic sob and a tightening of the man
tle of silence.
Vienna's home guarda are reported to be
enthuslaatic over Italy's entrance into the war.
Evidently they have not beard the cries of
Venetian gondoliers for blood. Herein is the
greatest menace to the dual monarchy.
The chairman of the Industrial Relations
commission appears unable to understand the
difference between prejudiced prosecution and
impartial Inquiry. Animus gives little weight
to an official Inquisition.
Bryan-An Intimate Sketch
Oawald Oarrlsea VUlard la W. T. Peat.
tlTTfKLL, wit what have you got to iay about
VV Bryan?" Thla question wae asked by a prom
inent business man after ha had reluctantly
eonfeaaed that the president's ot and hia entire
handling of the German situation had redeemed such
"mistakes" aa the tariff bill and tne pol'c toward
Mexico and convinced him that the man In the White
Houee la in every way equal to the task before him.
The question le suggretlve. What is there to say about
William J. Bryan today particularly now that his
sticking to his desk and abandonment at least for
the moment of his Ct.autauqua lectures has deprived
the humorous paragraphers and cartoonists of anv
excuse for lampooning the secretary of state? Well,
there are several answers to bo made. The first
Is that whatever may bo the popular Impression In
regard to Mr. Bryan, and however numerous hit
mistakes of tact and policy, the visitor to Washing
ton who has the means to acquire an Inside knowledge
aoon finds out that Mr. Bryan has the complete re
spect of hts cabinet associates. They all smile at
some of hla vagaries and regret some of his non
offlrlal activities, but they like him and think well
of him nonetheless, rrimartly It Is because of bis
Intense loyalty to the president
Now, It Is easy to say that a cabinet officer owes
loyalty to the president first of all, but there are all
kinds and degrees of loyalty. Mr. Bryan's variety
is singularly whole-hearted, devoted and faithful. Be
tween the two men, so dissimilar In training-, In ante
cedents. In mental processes, has sprung up a genuine
and affectionate friendchlp. On Mr. Bryan'a part
there la the profoundeat admiration for his chief,
whose superiority In ahtilty and In literary and po
litical skill he most generously concedes. On fir.
Wilson's side there Is genuine regard and sincere
gratitude for great aid freely given, not only in tho
matter of tho currency bill, which stands largely as
Mr. Bryan's personal contribution tothe fine record ,
for achievement of the Wilson administration, but in
other legislative matters. Indeed In all matters.
It la, of course, a fact that all the most Important
steps taken In our exceedingly difficult foreign rela
tions durlnfr the last two years have been Initiated
and outlined by the president. The future historian
of this administration will t sble to make a start
ling showing as to the number of notes signed by
Bryan wrhlch have been written by Wood row Wilson.
We are witnessing. In short, a phenomenon some
what similar to that occasionally seen In the British
cabinet when the prime minister takes over a given
portfolio, whether It be that or foreign affairs or of
the wsr office, with this difference, -that the prime
minister usually takes over a vacant office. .Mr.
Bryan might be said to have voluntarily assumed a
position aomewhat approximating that of the British
under-secretary for foreign affairs. So far from
having any feeling because of the taking over by the
president of the composition of the most important
notes, which began early In the administration with
Mr. Wilson's drafting tho replies to Japan, he has
welcomed the president's readlneas to take over this
duty, and frequently consults him about minor docu
ments, and asks him for aid In licking them Into
shape. This the president frequently accomplishes
by a mere stroke or two of his pen, for which schleve
ment Mr. Bryan's admiration la not concealed. But
the very fact that the president, as captain of the
ship of state, la In charge of the foreign affairs of
the United State makes it all the more unjust when
men of the standing: of George W. Wlckersham and
others of Ilka caliber unfairly attack Mr. Bryan for
the policy of the government In that field of en
deavor. If there Is any criticism to be made of the
foreign policy, they should at least make tneir charges
against the man responsible, who happens to be the
president of ihe United States.
No one must think, however, from the above that
Mr. Bryan la a nonentity or that he falls to make
contributions of genuine value at cabinet meetings.
He Is forceful and earnest In his presentation of his
views, and be has an extraordinary ability to put
himself in the other man'a place. Hia. contribution
of an Important paragraph to the Wilson note to Ger
many Is but aa example of hla useful activities, and
hla cabinet associates are still talking In highest
admiration of his extraordinary eloquent statement of
his views at the meeting on Tuesday at which the note,
was agreed to. He) has been scrupulously eager to do
Justice to Germany and to have It known that he for
on .Is quit aa ready to resent outrages agalnat In
ternational law on the part of tho English aa on the
part of the Germans. Ha la consistently pacific in
hla feelings, and at the cabinet moating threw all his
Influence In the direction of being aa lenient with the
kaiser's government as possible, and giving It a loop
hole through wrhlch to retire gracefully. Hit devotion
to principle le remarkable, deaplte hla free-ailver rec
ord, and he Is willing to make any. aaortfice for the
cause. It Is known that he would not hesitate to run
for governor of Nebraska next year If he thought it
would help the party, and ha Is eager to make any
sac-rifle to aid Mr.. Wilson, because he believes that
the president la a sincere democrat with a amair "u"
and thoroughly devoted to the welfare of the masses
of the people.
Mr. Bryan's weaknesses aa aacrwUry of elate are
chiefly du to hut lack of education, and particularly
to hla lack of experience In administrative office.
Until he cam here he was a leader with a never
ceaalng flow of language and promise without ever
having had the axperlewoa of translating promises
and theories into action or legislation. Be waa an
agitator, pure and simple self-madw man nd ono,
be It noted, who never read a book, but gains his
knowledge of political problems and reroedle exclu
sively from newspapers, magaslnas and contact with
many human beings. Mr. Wilson's great strength lius
in hia ability to tackle any great question and com to
a finality about It by the application of Intense mental
effort trained by years of atndloua and methodical
scholarship. Aa a. teacher, he has had to be exact In
hla facts. Mr. Bryan knows nothing of that kind of
approach to a problem; ho has nerer before had to
think Intensively and exactly with tbe knowledge that
he will be held reanonalbio for hla utterance. H Is
obviously lacking tn taste, breeding and knowledge
of the world, deaplLe hla traveling. But this Is off
set by his earnestness, his rugged fore, and hla
real humility, for that Is the word that best describes
his attitude in the cabinet.
One has only to think how much mischief Mr.
Bryan could do If he were only outwardly loyal, or
If he wwr as ambitious aa was Blaine in the same
poaltion. to realise the contribution Mr. Bryan la
making to the success or the administration. There
haa been no aign whatever of any attempt on hla
part to build up a political machine or to work for
the succession to the presidency. Nor Is there the
slightest evidence of any selfish desire to make capi
tal for hlmelf or to stay In the limelight. lie doe
not cultivate the newspaper men; Indeed he gets on
very badly with them. Although there has recently
been noted a change for the better In hla attitude
toward the correapondenta and his handling of them,
the daily gatherings of the newspaper men In hla
office have often been rather pitiful spectacles. Mr.
Bryan haa ten hostile and dubious of hlraaelf and
at 'times easily baited, and aome of the newspaper
men of the leas respectable ptesa have readily lent
themaetves, perhaps under Instructions from home
orfices, to the baiting prooeae.
Finally. It must not be forgotten that Mr, Bryan's
shortcomings are very human and that many of 'Us
qualltiea make a very deep appeal to the great mid
dle classes, particularly In the west, who are the
backbone and perhaps even the controlling factors.
In the republic. However New York and Boston may
aneer at him and assert that hla being In the State
department Is an offense to the nation, here U a
powerful and Impreaalve factor In the administration
etrtvtag to do his best according to his limitations.
Frequently a lap behind the rest of the administra
tion, and even of the developroenta In his own field,
often hurt and pun led by criticism, and unable to
understand the public faultfinding directed against
him. he la still a good American with a far better
appradatlpn of national and International bleat than
vaat numbera of his critics. And above all, he U
playing th gam fairly and sauaswly a beat he can.
pulling as steady an oar as possible, and endeavoring
le keep the boat speeding along on a straight and
even course, even though all th credit therefor
should so to the captain and none to him.

Not tbe Sheriff Only a onatable.
OMAHA, May Jl.-To Ihc Editor of Th
Bee: In an excited interview vir the
Phone, yesterday, from the sheriffs of
fice, Mr. Foster demsnds thst I exoner
ate the sheriff as roen ids the Inhuman
eviction of the Brad fords. Tuesday, and
I hasten to make the smend honorable.
"Neither Sheriff Methane nor this office
Is responsible for the execution of that
writ," declared Mr. Foster, heatedly. "It
Is obvious that with all the onerous duties
devolving upon this office, Including our
trouble with the criminal classes and the
Insane, we cannot attend personally to
the serving of eviction writs. We leave
that to subordinates. Phoulder all the
blame In that little matter on Ohio
street, where It rightfully belongs upon
the Justice who Issued tho writ and th
constable, who served snd executed It."
I stand corrected. Sheriff McShane was
hunting down criminal and attending
to the culinary menage of th Douglas
county jail. Hla responslbUlUe ar
heavy In that direction, and I am th
last person In Omaha to add a straw's
weight to his burden. The trifling mstter
of Intruding upon a dying woman with
the merciless hand of the law, and has
tening her approach to the other world,
because her husband owed their land
lord the pltful sum of $10 for a month's
rent, cannot be laid at the door of aar
but "subordinates."
Can any unprejudiced reader tf The
Flee tell the friends and neighbor of
the Bradford, where the responsibility
belong! in this case? Decs It rest upon
the Epnets, who persecuted their unfor
tunate tenants In every conceivable way,
even to ordering the city water turned
off, so that the neighbors had to carry
It to the sufferer, from their own homes,
and take her food to her as wellT Could
they have turned out these people with
out the sanction of the lawT Ar they
alone responsible for the birth of a chUd'
to Mrs. Bradford's married daughter be
fore the time, because of the excitement
of that heart-rending scene and Its al
most fatal consequences? Or could "sub
ordinates" have acted upon their own au
thority in carrying out what thty de
clared were their "orders?"' Do mere
constables arrive In an automobile, and
Issue Imperative Instructions to other
"underlings," who obey ' In order not to
lose their own official employment?
If some ono will kindly elucidate the
puxzling Inconsistencies. Mr. Foster tried
very hard to make it all clear to me
over tho phone, but a merely feminine
mind cannot seem to srssp the intricacies
of the sheriff's departmental duties and
obligations. With the ether witnesses of
the outrage, I can see only a Buffering
woman, crying out In agony, imploring
In vain to be left to die In her own bed.
In peace, and aeated tn his automobile
a representative of Jie law, callously
ordering his underlings to "Hurry up
with it we can't fool here all day."
ELSJI0 ROBERTSON.
That School t'tarebaxck at Florence.
FLORENCE, Neb.. May 22.-TO the
Editor of The Bee. On commencement
night I made a speech before a Florence
audience of several hundred people. In
which I accused County Superintendent
Yoder and W. 1L Thomas of getting -out
the vote at our laat annual school alec
tlon to defeat W. B. Parks, on of my
friends who had served on the board for
twelve years, and to elect Mr. Spencer
and Mr. Coe with the understanding that
they were to drop me from tha schools.
There was great secrecy observed and
no open Issue made, so they elected their
men. Three of the gentlemen named
were present at the exercises and had .
ample opportunity to answer me before
the people of Florence, aa fully twenty
minute Intervened between my speech
snd the olaas play, which followed. Why
did they not answer to tha people of
Florence?
Was It because they considered the
occasion sacred? Not so, for they dis
cussed my speech aloud while. It pro
gressed and W. II. Thomas showed his
great fitness for his position by whist
ling shrilly. The reason was that the
applause waa thunderous. The people
know I am right and showed It In no
uncertain manner. These gentlemen
knew how futile their denial would be
here where the facta ar known. This
was a prK-at washing of dirty Unea
that waa of interest to the popt of
Florence only, but Spencer rushes Into
print to defend himself to tho people of
the state, who are not Interested either
In him or me. His ignorance of our
school affairs Is shown in several of hla
statements. He said that I had been
superintendent of the schools here for
six years. I have been here ten year.
He said I liad produced discord among
my teachers. No man ever had a. mor
loyal teaching force. He cannot nam
a single grade, special or high school
teacher who I not the soul of loyalty.
He said I did not treat the board with
consideration. There has always been
the most cordial feeling be twee a myself
and the school board, excepting only Mr.
W. II. Thomas, who forced in to sit
upon him for trying to meddle with my
administrative affairs. If he considers
Mr. Thomas the board, then I stand
guilty as charged. He also said that
the board did not consider me the man
for the place. In this again he waa mis
taken, unless he and Mr. Thomas ar
the whole of a board of six.
I do not desire to enter Into a news
paper controversy, and expected to meet
these gentlemen openly In their own
home and have them there defend them
selves. The people of .the town are with
me and have told me so by score situ?
the speech. I desired only to expos th
cheap polltk's by which my political
enemies hope to remove me from their
way. 1 was truly sorry that I waa forcej
to use such an occasion for that purpose,
but the people of Florence enjoyed It, and
no one complained of Its being a dull
commencement. J- F. MTLANB.

Arthur Chapman in Teepee Book.
From old New York we Journeyed west-
Tm5r2omcthing like two weeks sgo-
We both were armd with six-foot tickets.
Which read for Sheridan. Wya:
When we arrived we bought sombreros
And I donned cowboy boots, well
Yet people' ssy. when'er they meet us:
We see you folks are from the east."
W thought a few more things were
rifuded
To make "s fit the western scene,
So chapa and spurs I quickly purchased-
Likewise a shirt of vivid green;
My wife is dressed like Annie Oakley-
,he looks a movie queen at least
Yet people say, when er thev greet us:
"We see you're just here from the east.
We've loaded up with deadly weapons.
We've raised our boot heel one Inch
Ve're"wcarlng hatbands made of snake-
We've read up on wild western lore:
We talk of trappers, scouts and cowboys:
Each rides a livery stable beast;
But still w hear that hated greeting:
