"A parrot should be taught to speak only
In polysyllables," says a contemporary. Also
-with 4 polyglot tongue. Help!
Oh, but wouldn't It be too awfully awful If
Lincoln democrats should have to come to the
senator at Omaha to name a postmaster for
them!
'.After that demonstration for Joe Stecher,
let no one say there are no exceptions to the
i ul about a prophet being nnhonored in his
home. ...
What they do to food price boosters in Ger
many Is a caution. A dose of that medicine
here m'eht be beneficial to the patient once in
a while.
As suspected all along, the Nebraska "re
publican" rewarded by Secretary Bryan on the
eve of his retirement with a soft berth in the
consular service turns out to be a "deserving
democrat."
Cood, hard roads are an unfailing everyday
booster for the city from which they radiate.
Omaha is fortunate in this respect, and its good
fortune applauds the foresight of the author of
the Inheritance tax law.
An Omaha policeman thinks he was saved
from the knife of an assailant by a bank book
In his inside pocket. Next thing he knows he
will be on the carpet to explain how he hap
pened to acquire a bank book.
The Missouri Pacific and the Wabash com
panies are about to emerge from financial fogs.
The promise of clear skies will be welcomed by
patrons of transportation systems too long han
dicapped by stockjobbing Interests.
Fame Is a fickle dame and painfully short
lived. Black Diamond, the bison bull whose
head In profile distinguishes the buffalo coin,
has been buffaloed In his New York home. Put
up at auction, he did not bring the value of his
graven image.
And now Mr. Bryan aays he did not take up
suffrage sooner because he was too busy with
other things, and that he usually does not take
up questions until they are capable of solution.
Perhaps! But big past experience with succes
sive paramount issues indicates that he Is a
poor guesscr.

The High School Principalship.
The school board Is again confronted with
the difficult task of finding the right educator
to serve as executive hoad of the Omaha High
school. With possibly one exception, this is the
meat important place In the entire organization
of our public school system, demanding the
very highest grade of educational qualifications
with the added ability to maintain discipline,
direct subordlnntes snd meet manifold responsi
bilities. Besides all this, the ideal high school
princlpsl hss an Innate knark of dealing sym
pathetically with boys and girls, and of holding
their respect and confidence.
It goes without saying thst the Importance
of the position makes it one hazardous to ex
periment with. While Omaha has been on the
whole fortunate in the character of the princi
pals it hss had in charge of Its high school, cer
tainly no advantage has been gained by the fre
quent changes, and the prospect of a reasonable
length of service, if he makes good, should be
one of the considerations in the selection of the
next incumbent. Here, too, it would seem ad
vlnable to go slow to make sure of a satisfactory
choice rather than to proceed hastily, and run
the risk that always accompanies haste.
Soldier Boyi in the Harreit Field.
The Canadian government proposes trying
a novel experiment In the art of war, that of
setting its recruits to work gathering home the
T hest harvest, now ripening in the fields of the
northwest. This Is the most sensible proposal
heard recently in connection with the war. No
better use could possibly be made of soldiers
than to give them auch employment as will be
of service to the world. The ordinary service
of the soldier is to destroy, his occupation being
such that death and desolation follow in his
path, but here he may be aet at the works of
peace and his labors be crowned with a benleon
of plenty. It may be a little odd to think of Buce
phalus, or even Roslnante, hitched to a self
biuder, but It wouldn't hurt him any, save per
haps In his pride, and so It will not hurt the
soldier boys to do a little stunt In the harvest
fields. In fact, they'll be all the better for it,
just aa good soldiers as before, and better farm
ers than aver. And at this moment the world
is more imminently In need of farmers than of
warriors.
New Onn for the Nary.
Again comes the secretary of the navy to
tha relief of the nervously anxioua people of the
country, with the assurance that our new aub
merslbles, beginning with M 1, will be armed
vlth the best three-Inch disappearing gun known
to the world. This Is most comforting, for It
shows us that we have not lagged so very far be
hind the procession, after all, but have fairly
well kept pace In the production of tools for use
In the gentle art of warfare. Mr. Hudson Maxim
told us a day or two ago that our amokeless
powder la the best known, even surpassing the
German article, and that the high explosive we
use In our armor-piercing shell Is beyond com
parison In Its desirable qualities of stability and
effectiveness. Slowly but surely It Is coming out
that we are not quite aa badly off aa an oyster
without a shell, and maybe the timid will yet be
consoled, and able to pursue their several voca
tions In something of security, until that terrible
fleet appears off Sandy Hook, or wherever It is
to strike the first blow In the conquest of the
United States.
Starration to the South.
From Mexico comes trustworthy Information
that the reports of destitution down there had
teen under rather than overstated. Starvation
is not only imminent, but actually present,
thousands of Inhabitants In the Interior of the
country subsisting on green fruits for weeks,
with no relief before them, unless the United
Statea can force a hunger truce on the wrang
ling leaders, whose "armies" have swept the
country clean of provender. In the more acces
sible towns, the Red Cross haa given relief to
thousands, but in the hinterland are other
thousands of Innocent men, women and children,
suffering for want of the food they can not
teach. While this condition exists, dally grow
ing worse, "generals" and "first chiefs," and
other petty personages with resonant tltlea are
exchanging defls and thwarting by their attitude
of contumacy any purpose they may have
originally had, unlesa It be to sustain disorder
and pamper their personal pride. The United
elates may not be able te remedy the political
disorder that prevails across Its southern bor
der, but it ought to no longer tolerate a condi
tion that means actual starvation for the un
fortunate people or Mexico, who are the victims
of quarrels in which they have little or no part.
Novel Plan for Choosing Judges.
Whether It be adopted or rejected by that
body, a proposed amendment presented to the
New York constitutional convention by former
Secretary of War Henry L. Stlmson covering tha
selection of Judges for the higher courts, chal
lenges thoughtful attention. The Stlmson plan
would merge tha two methods of appointment
and of popular election by nominations by the
governor subject to ratification at the polls, and
reads as follows;
Whenever a vacancy in the court of appeal, or
the aui'i-ema court la to be filled by election. It aha'l
be the duty of the governor to make a nomination for
auch vacancy, and the name of the peraon ao nomi
nated shall bo Indicated on the ballot or other voting
device uaed at the election by the worda "Recom
mended by the Governor." The lea:llature shall pa
lama providing for auch romlnatlona and for addition:
method, of judicial nomination not Incoitaiatent with
the foregoing, to effectuate the provlalons of this aec.
tion. No nomination to fill a vacancy In any Judlclil
office shall be made by any partlaan political orgai I.
sallon.
It must be admitted that we are experiment
ing In different atates, Including Nebraska, with
various new-fangled methods of selecting judges
designed to avoid obvious evils, although none
has quite fully achieved the object Would this
proposed method accomplish It better? Is the
question that we would like to aee answered by
practical application.
Curious War Superstitions
-arls Correepoadoaee of toadon MmO-
SUPERSTITIONS hover, like Mrda, In the Paris atr.
By patient endeavor they may be anared.
Of the few that I have caught 1 think I like
beat that of the woman who goea every day to the
Lady Chapel of .t. Bulplce to pray. Her superstitious
reverence for Ft. Pulplce datea back to her early ac
quaintance with Balsac. Lovers of that wonderful
short atory. ' The Athelat a Maaa." will understand lis
orlsln. It waa to the St. Hulptce Lady Chapel that tin
alhelat went, four times a year, to pray for the olj
water-carrler'e eoiil. Reading that, the woman be
lieved that prayer In St Suitce muat be more effec
tlve than prayer anywhere elae, and ahe aald. "fow
day I ahall go to 1'arla and I ahall pray at fit. Bulplce."
Bhe ta In Paris now and she prays in Ht. Bulplce
Her prayer la all for a soldier. In the beginning then
were suhaldlary petlona, for other frlenda, for heraelf.
but as the war frensy grew fiercer and the life of
each aoldier hung by a alenderer thread, petltiona it
little Import ellpped from her roaary, and only the one
vital prayer for her soldier remains. The prayer which
the athelat confereed was hl. ahs haa adopted as he...
"And I aay mlth the faith of a good aceptlc, "If he
have anything to suffer, let me suffer It for him.' "
Oh, Idy Chapel of 8t. Bulplce, you are become a
ahrlne. Indeed!
I like, too, the auperatltion of the Moroccan soldier.
He waa the blRgeat, blackeat, handaomeat Moroccan
that I ever aiw. And full of adventure. Othello mi'.tt
have been like him. The only trouble with this Othello
waa that his Deademonaa could not underatand a word
he said, for he would talk In English and they under
stood only French. Notwlthatandlng that disadvantage,
they gathered around him In such numbers that a po
liceman came over to clear the pavement butended by
Joining Othello'e train, though he alao lacked the key
to hi. tales.
The Moroccan left arm waa bandaged. He relate 1
the atory of hla wounds. Bested with him at the cafe
table waa another Moroccan of lighter complexion snd
two French soldiers, one of whom .poke a few words
of Engliah. To him Othello addreaaed his frequent
punctuations of "Ton see?" "Tou understand?"
"I see. I underatand," the little Frenchman replied,
gravely, but except for those and a few Ilka simple
phrases he did not underatand. Othello knew that he
did not and he waa Immenaely pleaaed to get a listener
at laat who really did underatand. He talked faster
than ever. The Frenchman objected.
"Tell It in French." he laid, "Tou speak French
wel! aa me."
"Do you?" I aatd to the Moroccan.
"Wall. e." he acknowledged. "I do. I was brought
up on French, but I learned English In Alexandria
years ato, and I like It better. I speak It now on prin
ciple. I am siiperatltlous about apeaklng English. 1
belli ve that It would be black Ingratitude to speak
anything el.e. It waa due to an Brtgllahman that 1
got off with only thla." He touched hie wounded arm.
"On'y for him and a command given In English I'd
be back In the Argonne to stay."
The Moroccan aald that the day when he got hla
wound was a day of surprise and confusion. Men loet
their heads snd the Instinct of obedience. The Moroc
can, though uually a steady fellow, waa as had aa
the others. He wanted to obey orders, but for the Ufa
of him he could not comprehend them. Suddenly, above
the endleas French uproar there Sounded a command
in English. "Duck. I aay. duck!" That waa the flret
command that had meant anything to the Moroccan
all day. He ducked and hla arm caught Uie piece ot
ahrapnel that would otherwiae have struc'hls head.
"Only for that duck,' " aatdt he. "I should havj
been gone, and alnce I am atlll here to tell It, I should
expect to be atruck by something more deadly than
shrapnel If I ever told It In anything but Engliah."
Absurd? Nsrrow-mlnded? Poaalbly, but mixed with
the absurdity of the narrowneaa is a strain of loyalty
that Is very touching.
Two Hishlandera on the lookout for "alghts" in
the Latin Quarter encountered a auperatltion whose
Intensity of expreaalon waa somewhat overpowering.
They .topped at a cafe! A tumult of voices and a
flutter of outstretched hands greeted them.
"Sit here, monsieur." said the occupant of ons
table, and "Sit here," "Bit here." said' the occupants
of others.
"And what you you think tha row waa all about?"
il-l one of the 1 Hollanders. "Luck. That waa what
they wanted us for, good luck. Every, man. woman
am, child in 1-arie has the Idea that to drink wtlh a
nwn In kilts will bring him good luck, and they nearly
had a free-for-all fight to get at ua. For a chap who
waa always considered an unlucky penny at home that
was a cheering experience. Maybe they'll think more
of me when I get back snd tell them about It."
The No. SSS auperatltion haa a touch of real humor.
It la the confessed weakneaa of a Canadian aoldler.
Blnce hia enliatment he has been haunted by No. SSi
To start with, that is his regimental number. In
Flandera he was bsyonetted by a German whose
number was alao MB.
"And a Jolly good tklng for both of us that It was,"
said the Canadian, "for I am sure that we let each
other off easier than we would have done If we had
had different numbers."

In he received a letter from hla wife. The Canadian
owns a little gtneral shop back home and hla wife
mentioned a few details of tha buaineaa, among them
being the eaae of a well-to-do townaman, who owed
a bill or tt.SO, which, apparently, he did not Intend
to pay. By that time No. 888 had taken Its place in
the Canadian's creed. He had firm faith in its infal
libility, so he wrote back:
"Send another centa worth of something around
to hla house, then make out a bill for ts.n. He will
be aura to pay up."
The Canadian chuckled.
And did her I asked.
He took a check from hla pocket. "Here you are.
MRS. Bhe waa ao proud ot me that ahe sent me the
check all the way over here Juat for me to look at."
Twice Told Tales
There Waa Dttfereaee.
In the lobby of a hotel they were speaking about
apeed flende, and Congreasman Wyatt Aiken of South
Carolina recalled a atory about Jonea.
One afternoon Jonea waa rambling along the boule
vard when he ran acroaa friend f mlth. Handshake and
then aome talk, which Included the war, the weather
and automobiles.
"By the way." aald friend Smith reoollectlvely. "I
hear that you have been buying a machine."
"Yea." proudly admitted Jonea. "I brought her
home about two week, ago."
"Some speed, ef courae," returned friend Smith.
"How faat ran the machine go?"
"Well." anawered Jonea with a amlle that waa
half aad, "It depends altogether on who la timing It,
myaelf or a country constable." Philadelphia Tele
gram. Calllaa; ' Blaawarck'a Blaff.
Blamarck was conferring the Iron Croaa on a hero
of the ranka, and, being In a hureoroua mood, he aald:
"I am authorlred to offer you, Inatead of the croaa, a
hundred thalera. What do you eayr"
"What la the croaa worth?" asked the aoldler.
"About three thalera."
"Very well, then, yeur hlghneea; I'll take the croaa
and nlnety-aeven thalera." Boston Transcript.

rkltlheeS Meaaerlee af Liberty Bell.
OMAHA. July 8. To the Editor of The
Bee: Kindly permit an old aubacrlber
the liberty of the following: The coming
or the Liberty bell to Omaha will be to
many a curiosity, to many a symbol or
patriotism, to others simply a relic, but
to the writer It will be the coming of a
dear old friend whose earliest recollec
tion, are aaaoclated with It.
D'irlng my childhood years and up to
the years or early manhood there waa
scarcely a week I did not hear It ring.
Paalng up and down the old ridge road
to Ninth, along Ninth to Chestnut, down
Chestnut pasalng the Continental and
Glrard houae to the Public Ledger build
ing, one paaaed tho atate houae In the
tower or which hnng this bell snd all
through the day It could be heard tolling
off the hours. For twenty-two years a
picture of the bell, together with the com
panion picture of Independence hall,
familiarly Icr.own to Phlladelphlana as
the atate houae, haa h-jng on the walls of
my home, and many times In these years
I have aat and drank In the Inspiration
and often in dreams
Have rone up and down
The well known streets
Of that dear old town
and the thought haa almost come to that I
was once more hearing the familiar clans
or the bell under the ahade trees in
Independence eqvare. . Lena- after we
have passed away the grand sentiment
that one will read on its face i proclaim
ye liberty to all the pe.nie will rin
up and down eur broad land solldfylng
us aa a nation, and be carried In the
mlmle and hearts or every lover of
human liberty. w. P. DAVIS.

Therefore I wish you would publish thla

(Any claim that I might be supposed to

hereby freely relinquish In your favor).
pvint is inia:
Aa will be remembered, laat year, be
cause Huerta would not salute our flag-.
President Wilson ordered some or our
war vessel, to attack and capture Vera
Crus. It was done and nineteen Ameri
cans and 100 Mexicans were killed. But,
sorrowful to relate, we did not get that
sslute.
Now that we have Huerta actually In
our possession, locked up In a fort some
where down In Texas, I suggest that
Presldont Wilaon take him by the nape
of the neck, stand him up somewhere on
the common and make him doff his
combrera and salute the Stare and
Stripes In due and ancient form. liy
doing so the death or all those Americana
and Mexlcana would be Justified; the
glory and honor of the flag would be
vindicated, and President Wilson's right
eous wrath would be appeased.

ATJDL'BON. Ia., July 8-To the Editor
of The Bee: In your paper I saw a para
graph to the effect that a United Statea
federal agent had brought a charge
againat agenta of the Engliah govern,
ment that they are inducing United States
army and navy men to desert and Join
the British army. Of course ths Eng

give proof that they are doing this In
England. I have Juat returned from a

there I waa approached several times
each day by recruiting sergeants, who
upon my saying that I waa a United
Statea cltlaen would always answer:
"Huh! Tell the major you were born
In Canada and you'll get In all right."
I know that several hundred young
Americana are now aervln in th. re

Block the way that lie muxt go.
But I hate the senseless simper
And the woful wail and whimper
Of the fellow who starts growling
At the first few drops of rain:
And I cannot stand the brother
Who thinks someway or another
All the fates have turned against him
When he feels a touch of pain.
I-lfe'a a blend of Joy and trouble.
Through the cool grass and the etubhle
Bvery one of ua must wander
Aa we Journey towarda our doal;
Every Tom and Dick and Harry
Has some burden he must carry.
He who seeks the Joy of living
Must, ki aome way, pay the toll.
Both the great man and the humble
Kind the honest cause to gramme,
F:ach muat ahed his teara of sorrow.
Through the darkness each muat gropej
When real care is assailing
There la some excuse for wtiin
But without the slightest reason
Far too many give up hope.
Save your tears and save your sighing
For the hours that will be trylnK.
Keep on smiling, keep on plodding
Just as far a. you can go.
While the sun of hope Is shining
There's no senae In repinina.
It la time enough for wailing
When life's honest griefs you know.

THE strikers had grown restless, law
less and riotous, when the militia
was called to quell the disorder. The
officers, too. caught the fever of strife and
might the might of gunpowder, rifles
and a deadly aim when brought into play.
Peace, then? And yet, how the presence of
Celcstia, with her earthless mien, acted on all How
the norvcombatant, true neutral always affects the
combatants 1 Like an oil on troubled waters, both
sides flocked to the banner of "The Goddess" and
there was strife no longer.
This is a new type of story and picture, don't
you think, and one that treats the vital issues of the
day with a sense of entertainment supreme.
