It Mediation Imminent?
Mils Jane Addams, ordinarily conservative
and accurate In Judgment and expression, has
returned from Europe, convinced that the war
ring nations are ready to listen to peace propos
sls from neutrals. The great nations st wsr
can only continue the conflict, unless from the
outside Is brought a proposal that will open the
way to a settlement. This, she thinks, should
be made without delay, because the longer the
war goes on, the harder it will be to stop. Miss
Addarris does not suggest which of the neutral
nations is to be mediator, but sho will see Presi
dent Wilson and give to him the result of her
experiences at and since the women's conference
at The Hague.
It Is barely possible that the desire has led
to the conclusion Miss Addams has reached, but
she went to Europe to determine if It were time
to suggest a cessation that will eventually lead
to readjustment of political affairs on that con
tinent, and has returned firmly of the opinion
that the time Is now. If thlg be true, and let us
hope It Is, representations from the neutral pow- ;
ere nnffht tn Ytm mode without detev Tt &'ttt tint 1

That Electric light Muddle One Way Out. '
In the muddle over a long-due reduction of
electrlo lighting rates, Omaha Is hoist by its
own petard. As The Bee first pointed out, and
as Is now again pointed out by our contempor
ary, the World-Herald, all the city had done Is
to buy a law suit, while the patrons of the light
ing company continue to pay for current at the
old rates, which even the company admits are
excessive.
Looking backward we can see clearly Just
how this situation was stupidly brought about.
The Dahlman ordinance, which would have given
us a substantial reduction, and which the elec
tric lighting company publicly announced Ha
readiness to accept, was withdrawn because
of the outcry of a few people who objected to
the straight meter-measurement scale, and the
so-called Butler ordinance waa substituted with
the result that the company denounced it aa con
fiscatory and appealed for protection to the
courts, which have bung the enforcement up In
definitely. At the time these ordinances were pending,
The Bee advised the council to take the reduc
tion which the company offered, and then to
fight for a further cut if more concessions were
thought to be obtainable. It is a failure to act
on this advice for which the electric consum
ers arc now paying so dearly. But the sugges
tion also indicates one way out, for it is not too
late for the council to retrace its steps and pro
ceed on the right track. Let it sow resurrect
and adopt the Dahlman ordinance, and secure
for Omaha the rate reductions which the com
pany Is wining to concede without a contest.
After the new schedule ia actually operative,
the council can, If it wishes, re-enact the Butler
ordinance and buy the law suit again If It wants
to without naklng it so expensive to Omaha
electrle light consumers, and without in the
least Jeopardizing the city's chance of winning
In the courts.

That a considerable number of dangerous
cranks should manifest their presence at this
time la not at all surprising. The murderous
astault on Banker J. P. Morgan ia the deed of a
maniac, in whose muddled mind waa formed a
fantastlo plan for doing something he imagined
might help to end the war. Threatening letters
sent to Vice President Marshall and others ema
nate from persons more or less mentally unbal
anced, difficult to locate and to deal with.
It is one of the discouraging feature of na
tional life that men prominent in public affairs
are likely to be the targets for lunatics. This
danger la not confined to any one country, but
Is common to all peoplea. The present war in
Europe waa touched off by an assassin, , who
ought to right all his country's wrongs by kill
ing a leading citizen of another. Unusual cir
cumstances always stimulate one-aided minds
and bring forth cranks more or less dangerous,
whose activity ia aa shocking aa it ia unavoidable.

rt will have a potitiun with the Croatia Natluoal
Import of Meats and Dairy Products.
A report from the Department of Commerce
shows that a new record has been made for the
Importation of meats and dairy products by the
United States, the total for the last ten months
reaching. 138,000.000. Two-thirds of this was
for meat's, mostly brought from Argentina. The
figures will be of especial Interest to the farm
ers of the west, on whom the country has al
ways depended for its supplies of meat, butter
end cheese. The situation la not at all serious,
for the figurta on Imports must be placed along
side the exports of food products for the same
period, which aggregate $724,000,000.
On this showing, it is quite evident the
United States still has enough to feed ita own
people, aud that' no likelihood of famine exists.
It is worthy of note, though, that the possibility
of competition for our farmers in their home
msrket is developing under the stimulus of
democratic free trade idea, and at a rate that
Is not at all comforting to those who have con
sidered the American farmer as free from any
danger of foreign euiroachment. The total la
more than three times what it was two years
ago.
In the meantime, the farmers of the west,
ftkt especil)r of Kebrn!,V are being stimulated
to produce not only more, but better food prod
ucts. They are eutltled to the home market,
to all possible encouragement in their ef
forts to hold It.
To those familiar with the perplexities beset
ting courts it is no surprise that vendors pf Jus
tice welcome the long summer vacation and
wearily sigh for the simple lite. Imagine what
would become of a layman day after day obliged
to decipher such lingo as this: "The defendant
wrongfully and unlawfully assaulted the plain
tiff and, without the plaintiff's consent, thrust
his hand into the plaintiffs pocket and wrong
fully, forcibly, unlawfully and without the
plaintiff's consent took therefrom" no matter
what. ' Enough is quoted to convince people
with hearts in the right spot that Judges deserve
more sympathy and less criticism.
Tekamah Journal: In yeaterday's Omaha Bee In
Its Letter Pox waa a communication protesting egalrit
the Indiscriminate tue of profanity In the theaters. The
writer of the article la right. Suck language never

loea a large part of the better patronage they might

.Beatrice Mun: The police department of Omaha has
cauat-d white llnea to be drawn at the street Interaec

The purpose of thia Is ta dlacouraga the practice of

Uncoln Star: ' Insanity like Thaw s'" la the way
an Omaha paper characterised the plea of a Greek ao
t iwed pf murder In that city. It Is not hard to under
atand why this poor Greek's Insanity could not be

Fiemont Tribune: Omaha has been provided by
the legislature with a law for a public defender. The
duties of such an official are to take the cases of men
haled into court who are too poor to hire an attorney
to defend them. In certain cases Judges hsve for a
long time exercleod the authority of appointing a de
fender In criminal eases, but thia new law creates a
permanent position. It' makes the defeiiee of an im
pecunious criminal aa certain and as much a part of
the public burden as his prosecution, which devolves
upon a regularly elected offioer. fllngularly twai at
torneys to Whom the position of defender has bean
offered have refused It. The salary of ll,2no Is not
munificent, but it Is a good starter for young sprigs
of the law.
Bhellon Clipper: If the Greater Omaha boosters

formidable candidate for the ISIS damocratlo national
convention. Aa Omaha Is the most oantrally located

good chance of landing the big convention.
Norfolk Press: The Omaha Bee of recant date
published an editorial commending the stand of the
state engineer for stronger, better bridges. The Bee
Is right, as la the engineer In the stand for better
bridges, but the cause for poor bridges has not been

as It wss the grafting Jnfluenee of the big bri(5a com
panies on tha weak-kneed, woak-moraled county offi

bridge structures In exchange for their tax money.
Half of the bridge grafts have never been exposed and

OMAHA, July fc-To the Editor of The
Bee I notice your Inquiry aa to the
value of the British submersiblea have
been to the allies In the preaent war.
Have you overlooked the sinking within
alght of Constantinople ef a larae Turk
Ion warship very shortly after the In
jection of Turkey into the wsr. to ac
complish which It waa necessary for a
British submarine to diva under five
rows of mines? Much as the German aub
marlnea have done, they have not matched
this. In ror opinion. British undersea
boats In tne pardanalles have also sunk
Turkish transports, rqlnelayera, etc. They
have destroyed no merchant vessels be
cause there are practically none on any
ocean under an enemy flag. You say
that Germany has kept open an ocean
lane between Baandlnevtan sountiies and
the German coast. If so, why do not
merchant venae! s under the German flag
use it? The merchant vessels on that
lane fly the fleas of the Scandinavian
countries, if one may Jbdge from the
ocean news In the Scandinavian Journals
whloh reach here from the other side of
the water. i
It Is true that suhmeratblee of the allies
might sink Norwegian and Swedish
freighters in tha Baltic Just as German
submarines sink vessels of those coun
tries carrying freight for Britain, but
the German action doea not endear the
kalssr to the Soandinavlana, and Great
Britain may well conaider that similar
aatlon upon its part would Injure it in
the eyoa of the world to a greater extent
than would be offset by the trifling ad
vantages derived.
You say that Germany's "untersee
bootes" work their will with British com
merce, but. In view of the faot that l.tOO
vessels per week now enter end clear
from Brltlah ports, your expreselon Is not
exactly the correct one. The damage done
loo Ira greater to us at this distance, ap
parently, than It does either to Great
Britain, Its sailors or its shipowners.
Should the war last for a generation, the
present rate of vessels sunk by the Ger
mane would bo sufficient to injure Bri
tain's lead as an ocean carrier, not other
wise. JOHN BUTHBRfXJRD.

for the guidance of readers who own or
drive horses:
L Load' Uffhtly and drive slowly.
t Stop In the shade it possible.
t. Water your horses as often as pos

not fall to water him at night after he
has eaten hla hay.
4. When he comes in after work, sponge
eff the harness marks and sweat, hla
eyes, his nose and mouth -and the dock.
Wash his feet but not his lags.
If the thermometer la 75 degrees or
higher wipe him all ever with a damp
sponge. Use vinegar water It possible.
Do not turn the hose on htm. ,
(. Saturday night give a bran mash,
lukewarm; and add a tablaspoonful of

7. Do not use a horae hat,' unlets It la
a canopy-top. The ordinary beJI-ehaped
bat doea more harm than good.
8. A sponge on top of the head or even
a cloth is good If kept wet. If dry it Is
worse than nothing.
a If the horse Is overcome by heat, get
him Into the shade, remove harness and
bridle, wash out hla mouth, sponge him
all ever,- shower his legs and give him
two ounces of aromatio spirits of am
monia or two ounces of sweet spirits of
niter. In a pint of water; or give him a
pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at
once, using cold water, or, if necessary,
chopped Ice, wrapped In a cloth.
10. If the horse ta off hla feed, try him
with two quarts of oats mixed with bran
and a little water and add a little salt
or sugar. Or give htm oatmeal gruel or
barley water to drink.
11. Watch your horae. If he stops sweat

THESE O00O OLD DAYS.'
The past is gone beyond recalling;
All its minutes now have flown.
The future Is an unread volume
We may never call our own.
Treasures that can not b.i counted
We are storing uo today.
For the future worlds to borrow
From the wealth we've stored sway.
Let us then live in the present.
Whereaoe'er our lot be cast;
Not with hopes all In tha future.
Nor with Joys all In the past.
Live so that In time far distant
We can aay In words of praleu.
Of the epoch we're now living:
"Ah, but those were good old, days!''
"Tea. thoae days were glad and aunny,
Would that they could come again,
Those were good old days, my comrades,
Tea, and well we knew It then."
Omaha. DAVID.
