Mr. aad Mia. Ievl Cartar lave returned frua tWa
German Discussion of Oar Cabinet Crisis.
Aa a tribute to the Importance of the event,
the censors have let the Germans have the news
concerning our cabinet crisis and Its attendant
circumstances. German editors express quite
as much amasement as Is felt In America over
Mr. Bryan's resignation and account for It on
much the same grounds aa are ascribed here In
explanation of his conduct. The episode Is not
looked upon as likely to seriously affect the
progress of negotiations between the two coun
tries. The president's not which wss given in full
to the Oermen press, Is generally discussed, and,
aside from the few pronounced "Jingo" pspers.
Is taken as showing a way to the peaceful ad
justment of the existing differences. Surprise
Is expressed at the temperate language em
ployed, for, prepared by the advance announce
ment of Mr. Bryan's leaving the cabinet because
of his unwillingness to sign the note, the Ger
mans were looking for something In the way of
an ultimatum.
Judging from the alaoere tone of the com
ment of Influential papers of the empire, it Is
easy to believe that the Germans earnestly desire
to continue uninterrupted the friendship be
tween the two natlona. If this Is the case, the
language of the president's note probably will
bar an effect Jnat the opposite to the predlo
Uoss of Mr. Bryan, and, Inatead of bringing war,
will Increase the mutual respect and understand
ing between Germany and the United State.
Physical Fitness of Candidates for Ofiioa.
Speaking of the serious Illness and long en
forced absence of one of the Judges of our su
preme court, the Wahoo Democrat ventures the
opinion that only men of vigorous mind and
body should be elected to this position. It re
minds us that in the last Judicial campaign one
of the two contestanta waa over HO years old,
and the other, while younger, waa physically In
competent and died within a few weeks after
entering on his office. The Democrat concedes
the desirability of the superior wisdom popu
larly associated with bald heads and gray hair,
but only where mental vision Is still clear and
physical powers are strong.
The common sense of this rlew will quickly
strike most people, yet Its application Is not con
fined to the bench. In selecting men to per
form responsible and exacting public duties, the
people should do Just what ' the enlightened
private employer would do, consider the physical
condition and prospects as one of the chief fac
tors of ability to make good. The only differ
ence between Judicial and administrative place
In this respect la the greater need of maturity
and experience for a Judge. And thla qualifica
tion must be made, too, for th man who has
grown old In the publle service and whose de
crepitude Is the result of long years devoted to
such work; for here, wtth no provision for pen
sion, It Is s hard for the people to turn out a
faithful servant la his old age aa It is for a
humane private employer. Plainly this Is a
spot In our machinery of 'popular government
that needa attention.
Rival Claimants Speak Oat.
Carransa and Villa have each made reply to
President Wilson's not of warning, each setting
up bis claim to recognition and backing It up
with claims of accomplishments aad outlines of
purpose, Thla was anticipated, for It would
have been remarkable bad either of the factional
leaders relinquished bis position In favor of the
other. , Villa, by bis Intimation that if Csrransa
will withdraw, he will follow, baa placed himself
In a slightly advantageous position, perhaps, but
gtres no guaranty as to bis sincerity.
The notes indicate that the Msxlcans realise
the earnestness with which they hart been ad
dressed, but with true "manana" spirit are
arers to coming directly to the point- They
will doubtless spend some time In circumlocu
tion, exchanging la a roundabout way high
sounding but empty phrases, but Indications are
that they are willing the way to adjustment
should be pointed out to them. Back of their
pomposity lurks the bop that they may yet
emerge with their face aaved.
The president has made It very plain that It
Is not the Intention of the United States to favor
either faction. He seeks only the establishment
of responsible government for Mexico. This
may net be apeedily obtained, aa measured by
American standards, but th wheels are under
motion, and with what must seem amaslng cel
erity to Mexico, where nothing. Is done In a
hurry, and th end Is in alght, although it may
be weeks In coming.
Spies of Life for California.
Th legislature that has Just ended its ses
sion at Sacramento by Ita work certainly added
variety to existence In the Oolden State, and
th bear undoubtedly ahouted "Eureka!" when
the aolona left th capltol. In addition to th
management of two big expositions, the enter
tainment of the visitors and a few other ordinary
occupations, the inhabitants of California are
now confronted wtth the Job of making them
selves familiar with the provisions and require
ment of 771 new laws. Just enacted for their
guidance, control and benefit by th legislature.
This Is about thro times the output of a
common or normal legislature, but It shows th
effect and advantage of th glorious climate of
th Paciric coast, where everything Is more
fecuad and prolific than elsewhere. Governor
HI ram Johnson also make a record, comlag
down th atretch with a total of Its vetoes, ap
plied to that many btlla passed by the law
maker, but which did not measure up to his
progressive standard of utility or service.
California must have been In a bad way. In
deed, If all this mass of new laws waa needed to
aet things right out there.

THn DTBFOflJTION to assume that whatever is.
Is permanent, is a weakness of humanity.
At the nelsht of a storm, men despair of fine
weather and st the end of a drouth they ceaee to look
for rain.
When prre are hlh most people expect them to
remain so and when they era low there are not many
who ran discern the Indications of aa advance.
Pew ar erfted with the ability to foresee radical
chan and fewer still have tha course to act an th
vision of that unusual forealnht. This Is one reason
why so many sell st tha bottom and buy at the top.
That earn extreme breeds its own corrective and
that tha abnormal cannot be permanent, are truths
which every one edmtta and nearly every one fell
to apply.
They forst that the power of centripetal attrac
tion, which hold tha universe tosether, has never yet
failed to show Itaelf supreme and that throuah the
as-es the rhythmic succession of nlaht and day, winter
and sum mar. and seedtime and harvest has always
been unbroken.
They forget too that man himself Is subject to
this same law of alternation and reaction; that activity
la followed by fatigue, enthusiasm by apathy and
ess-erness to fltht by willingness to mske peace.
Just now the tendency to overlook these funda
mental rules of nature and of Ufa. and assume that
tha war In EXi pa will last Indefinitely, is tha more
remarkable because it Is evident that the very In
tensity of the strus1e la rapidly exhausting th oont
batants. Millions f men have been killed and billions of
treasure have been spent In th war slresdy; It Is,
therefor, arsued that It will be prolonged.
The Oermen casualty Data show that aiCS.40 out
of a possible total or 4,00,0W trained eoldlars have
been killed or disabled thua far. An equal. If not a
large r number, hav been lost by the allies. The
world Is now leagued In moral of not military opposi
tion to Germany.
Despite Ird Kitchener, these are facts which
make for the ending and not the prolongation of tha
war. '
Just bow the will come It Is impossible to fore
see but that exh. stion will shortly gtvo the peace
maker hla opportunity Is a generalisation that la Justi
fied by the precedents of history and tha laws ct
physiology, and we have faith to believe that thor
ar tha safest guides upon which human Judgment
can rely.
It may bo that the correspondence now in progress
between the United States and Germany will open
the way for a cessation of hostilities.
It may be that tha kaiser's threatened Invasion of
Russia will prove hi undoing as m esse of his
great prdeeeaor Napoleon.
It may be that th fall of Contantlnopl wUI mark
th climax of tha struggle.
Even pathologists do act understand why or how
It is that a fever breaks when th crisis of the disease
la past, but experience has taught them that after a
given time death Is sure to follow, if the fever does
not subside.
That th death of civilisation and a reversion to
autocracy are Impending w refuse to believe.
Such a theory would be a denial of history snd sn
abandonment of faith In the progress of mankind.

That we ar unable to understand the processes

Importance of Vie Presidency.
BOSTOV. June 12,-To the Editor of
The Bee: It seems to me that this s a
time when editors holding a position of
Influence should emphasise and reiterate
the vital Importance of a change of atti
tude among our political leaders with
regard to the nomination of a vice presi
dent. Alresdy the lines are taking form for
ths work of the nominating conventions
of in 4, and probably there haa not been
a time In the history of our country
when the peril of our having but a atngle
I'fe between us snd political chaos could
be more clearly appreciated by ths peopl
than right now.
To my mind to have Thomas R. Mar
shall aa our president In the grave crisis
through which we are pasalng would be
of more lasting harm thsn It was to have
to endure President Johnson. ' O. E.
. Tm Hla- Tied Down.'
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., June 14,-To th
Editor of Th Bee: There are many others
who could truthfully say, as did Ernest
Haman of Florence: "I cannot help but
feel that William J. Bryan has been
grievously wronged by such criticism as
some of us hav heaped upon him." We
regard Mr. Bryan as one of the greatest
men our civilisation has produced radical
as a rule, but radically right Any man
who can stand up for clesnnees snd purity
and sobriety snd peace and Christianity
ss has Mr. Bryan In th face of th
bitter csmpalgn ef vtlllflcstlon directed
against him Is too big and too valuable
a person to have sacrificed his liberties
and silenced his tongue by submitting to
th hampering restrictions attending
publle offloe, even under his most Inti
mate and political colleague.
Colonel Bryan la too big a man to be
tied down. lie can accomplish far more as
a free lance than when hobbled by the
restrictions Imposed by policy or diplo
macy. He Is one of the greatest factors
In our 1st day life. As such he should
be free In the expression of opinion.

OMAHA, June 14. To th Editor of
The Bee: I believe the city commission
ers ought to employ union men to furnish
the music for the parks, but I am not in
favor of being a party to the violation
of the eight-hour day principle.
for instance: f venture that two
thirds of the members of the musicians'
organisation follow ether occupations and
are musicians only sfter their regular
hours at other employment thereby
working anywhere from sight to four
teen hours a day, practically holding
down two situations, snd ssklng the
friends of unions to uphold them In It
The same objection wilt apply to the
postofflce band.
What th commissioners should do Is
to employ musicians who depend entirely
upon their profession for a livelihood.

San Francisco Argonaut.
My heart's rtoslre Is nothing greet;
fsy Just a little elght-by-elght
Log cabin In the Northern woods
Where I can wallow In my moods
And wade around In solitudes
And rubber boots;
Pre from excitement, noise snd dudes
Tes, that Just suits!
My hesrl's desire is nothing much;
A little venison, and such
Sweet trout as markets ne'er afford;
A little time to praise the Lord
My own peculiar way, for these
Simplicities that ever please
And never pall '
The mind, as In the birchen tree
The thrushes call.
My heart's desire Is nothing large:
The open sky, the river marge;
The soundless woods, the empty shore;
Pine needles on the parlor floor.
And hary lasy hours of life
Just breathing air;
One couldn't ask much lees no strife,
Peace everywhere. t
Will You Read This Twice?
. A very important question
to-day which every housekeeper
must decide for herself is whether;
she prefers pure, cream of tartar,
baking powder like Royal or
whether she is willing to use alum
baking powder, in food.
One kind is easily distin
guished from the other since the
laws of various States require
the ingredients to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in
doubt whioh to use it is worth
while to ask the family dootor:
Then decide. '
And when, once ia decision is
reached let no advertisement, or
dealer s argument or canvasser s
solicitation, change the deci
sion. It is not a question of a
few oents or of pleasing a sales
man. It is a question of health.;
If this appeals to you as rea
sonable and sensible advice it
is worth reading twice.; And it is
worth remembering.,
