What Are They Up to in Georgia!
What are they up to in Georgia with this
new agitation and uprising over alleged plots to
free Leo M. Frsnk? Although the man is
quietly serving his term at the state prison farm.
to which his death sentence wss commuted, we
are told that extra guards have been put on and
the militia ordered to stay in readiness for a
call to frustrate an attempt to liberate him.
Notv, the people of Georgia are not so
Ignorant as not to know that no such effort
could be successful. They know enough to
know that Frank out of prison as a fugitive
vould be worse off than where he now Is. They
know thst ho would be extraditable wherever he
might be taken, and they know, too, that such a
Jail-break would do more than anything else
Imaginable to destroy what possible hope he
may cherish of an eventual pardon when the
true Inwardness of his case Is fully uncovered.
To the observer at this distance all this
maneuvering to keep popular prejudice excited
In Georgia looks like a continuationof the out
rageous performances which have already so
discredited that state, and, more than that, like
a deliberate attempt to lay the foundation for,
and to Instigate, another murder "a la Madero"
under pretense of shooting Frank down while
trying to escape. Before the people of the rest
of the country, the state of Georgia is today as
much on trial as Frank ever was, except that
the Georgia people have the verdict in their own
hands.
A Son; and Its Writer.
Something of the ' romance of wartime of
long ago Is renewed by the removal of the ashes
of Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle to the
French Pantheon, the Hotel des lnvalldes In
Paris. In a fine frenzy of patriotism, at a time
when France was breaking away from the an
archy that followed the revolution and was un
dergoing the throes that culminated In the Na
poleonic empire, this young officer of artillery
broke out in song. "Ye Sons of France, Awake."
About the time he waa writing the words that
brought him eternal fame, his comrade at school
and in arms. Napoleon Bonaparte, waa training
his guns on the Paris mob and literally shooting
it off the streets, to clear the way for the Direc
tory he later seized for his own.
Not so very long after, under the inspiration
of the oppression of that same Napoleon, a
group of German patriots wrote songs to inspire
their countrymen to strive for the same freedom
the Frenchman craved, and Bluecher's volun
teers aang them as they marched and fought, to
overthrow the military despot of the day. Some
of these songs are thundered today by the mil
lions marching under the kaiser's command, but
none of them are known as is that flamboyant
bit of verse Captain Rouget de Lisle brought
fcrth while he was waiting at Marseilles the
order to fire onHhe armlea of the government
supposed to represent the people.
"Llberte, egallte, et fraternlte" have taken
many forms in fair France since that time, but
finally the people have come to rule their own
affairs, and now that France has paid the final
honors to the author of the Inspiration of patriot
and mob alike, the shade of de Lisle may Join
with the lhadea of Napoleon, Bluecher and oth
ers in wondering if their descendants know what
it is all about.
Baie Ball and the Public
Some attention publicly has been called to
the predicament of the Western League of Pro
fessional Base Ball Teams, incident to the expe
rience of that organisation during the present
neason. It has so far not had the happy experi
ence of other seasons, owing chiefly to the unto
ward weather, which has messed up the playing
achedule very materially, and has also held back
the attendance. Thla organized sport is not
altogether a private concern, for, although the
owners of the teams have assumed the risks
naturally attendant on their venture, the public.
is interested to some extent
It is necessary that patronage be each as will
provide funds sufficient to meet the expenses,
else the league cannot exist. . Much of the
Iresent-day expense of carrying on a base ball
club is due to an effort on part of the owners to
meet public needs or satisfy public whims.
Spacious parks, magnKicently equipped, have
been provided for the comfort of the patrons,
and other outlay of capital Is required for the
maintenance Of the plant Popular players art
idolised by the "fans," and thla popularity must
be met by the team owner In the way of in
ci eased aalary in order to hold the player his
patrons demand. Many other factora that enter
into the owner's problem might be here enu
merated, most of them Items the public does not
consider.
The value of a good ball team to a' commu
nity has been established. The public is re
sponsible la a measure for the increase in the
expense of operation, and it should also recog
nise lta partnership with the magnates to the
extent of helping to make the venture pay Its
cost.

Putting It Over on the Senator.
And now we see the Bryanltes, merrily ral
lying around the plum tree, aboutlng with glee
over the prospect of putting over some appoint
ments the senator will not likely assent to. For
example, Brother-ln-Law Tom Alien is said to
bo certain of taking down the Job of being
United States attorney for Nebraska, with the
nice, fat salary attached to the place. Let no
one doubt that Allen Is a shrewd and resource
ful politician, aa has been made manifest In his
management of the state campaigns In behalf of
Mr. Bryan. Ills pretence in the honor list will
not promise much for a statewide campaign for
re-election of the senior senator from Nebraska.
Another Bryan worker of approved quality. A,
S. Tlbbetts, comes forth aa temporary postmas
ter for Lincoln, and the supporters of the sens
tor look on aghast as they see the rush of the
cohorts of the late premier to gather up the big
places. The matter is not all settled, though.
and there may be some pretty lively skirmishing
yet before all the Jobs are permanently nailed
down.
In filling the position of city school superin
tendent in Hastings, membership In the Ne
braska Schoolmasters' club is satd to have been
a factor la eliminating a number of candidates.
It will be remembered that the aame club's op
position waa a factor in electing our present
xtate superintendent of schools.
Issues of the Great War
"tafa" Toa la Xelie'e,
1IIAVB called the preaent war in Europe ' Tho
American-European war." From the rampalsn car
ried on In "The Statea." I Judge It la more our war
than anybody eleo'e. The Vnl'ed Ftatee la the only
country that telle the truth In diplomacy and atatide
for a ree'ilt after ware are over. We are the onl
people who anend money In behalf of other people.
It la auppoaed that t'nrle Bahn la rl-h enoiiRh to Rive
every man a farm and alao to help pay the eipenee
of other people's were. Therefore, I have chrletenej
thla the Amerlran-Buropean war.
We are feeding the Rclglana at a coat of mll
llona. We are donating automobllea at a coat of mora
millions. We are Bending Red Croea aurceona and Red
Croae nureee Into tho remoteat part of the war sons.
We are receiving1 circulars by every mall from many
of tha count) loe that are at war. aektne- for contrlbu
tlone. A majority of the people In Europe pretend
they hate the eight of an American. They dlacuas
hrm spitefully when he haa moved on. Our very con
tiibutlona to the aid of thoee In dlatreaa are cited as
evidence that we are a mean, speculative, unsympa
thetic, undeserving people.
Thla European war haa been Ilka the typhoid fevnr
to the human frame. It haa diecloaed to every country
lta weaknesaea. Germany la a aealed book. Wa do not
know what Germany's internal weaknesaea era. It
seems to stand aotldly together. But all other countries
have their ehorfomtnge.
When Aiutrla calla out an army, from the eight
een different rarea under Its flag. It has no Idea how
many will respond. Great Britain la finding out lta
weak apota. They were auppoeed to be In Ireland.
but they are dlarovered to be right at home. Canada,
Auatralla and the other colonies are all right. But
England, the home office of Great Britain, la finding
out the things that It did not know. Many of the
countrlca have given up drink to help alotur the war.
The Brltlah man has So far declined to do so. .Die
dlatlllcra and brewers ralaed the cry that It woull
Injure their bualneaa and that their bualna was Im
portant. It waa auggceted that horse racing should
cease on account of the war, and the voices of the
horee racing fraternity immediately said that It would
ruin the horee Industry- They aald that horse racing
promoted horae breeding. The worklngman, .who lovca
England and who would not remove to any other
country, refuaea to co-operate In the manufacture of
munltlona of war. Increased wagea only Increases hla
Idleness.
Great Britain, If we are to Judge by the literature
that cornea to the United Rtatea, feels that we have
some part In the war, and I shall be prepared to rea l
In all European newapapera, after the war la over,
no matter what the result, that the United tSatee was
to blame for It all. We have been making ammuni
tion snd selling It to whoever wants to buy, and in
some directions thla la unpopular. Our ammunition
will be found to be fatal after It Is all over.
But who Is to blame for this war?
I anawer, this war Is a cumulative answer of
Providence to the inefficiency, selfishness and greed
of the old world.
The strong European powers hadv for nearly a
century been tiding over their difficulties In the
Balkan states; been trifling with fate; trifling with
Justice; lying to each other: trying to deceive each
other; none of them trying to do the Christian act of
seeing that the Balkans had good government and a
fair chance for development In manufacturing. In agri
culture and In everything else.
80 the present war Is a cumulative settlement of
European crimes of omlaslon and commission darin
the last century.
Add to these events the commercial rivalries of
Great Britain and Germany In relation to tha control
of tha seas snd you have the cause of the present
war. One other element enters In, that is the absence
of n, free press In ome of the countries concerned.
The people may say what they please about the evils
of a free prees, but If there had been a free press In
all the countries of Europe, there would have been
no war. The peoples of Europe are not getting the
truth at the present time. ' In some of the countries In
volved, the masses have been lied to so persistently
by their rulnrs that they have a misconception of the
war entirely. Lawsuits often change In the course of
tha trial. Thla Is also trie of war. At tha beginning
of the war It was the fear of a. Pan-Slav empire on
one side and the hope of it on the other. Now, the
question Is which of the countries Involved shall sur
vive and which shall be destroyed?
It Is a struggle to the death between Germany snd
Great Britain. Or. It Is a struggle to the death be-
tween militarism and the opposite. Or, It Is tha open
ing battle which shall sometime bring all Europe
confronting Russia,
Just figure out what you think Is at stake.
If Great Britain should lose, It looks like the death
of Its government If Germany loaea. It Is the death
of the military Idea, as the foundation of a greut
civilisation.
If Russia loses. It will be about where It waa be
fore.
The fate of Austria Is tied up with that of Ger
many.
It would be dlflcult to foretell the fate of Franca.
if the allies should be defeated.
When the wars are over, a great many Issues that
were not In the esse st the start will be in the Jury's
verdict. The Briton will awaken snd learn to know
that he Is not a child of Providence to be taken care
of without effort. The German will find out that a
great civilisation ran not be built on militarism. The
essona to Prance and Austria will be Incidental. They
are a kind. Industrial people snd their wish Is to be
let alone. Whatever shall be achieved for the right
will be accredited to the valor, statesmanship and di
plomacy of Europe. Whatever In the verdict shall be
evil, will be, with one accord, accredited to the United
States.

WASHINGTON. D. C, July 10,-To the

financing the several states of the union

its provisions. If It Is advisable for the
United States to assist In securing low
rate loans for South and Central Amer

advisable that the United States aid the

aa that of extensive construction of per

would be In Cartr Dark, Inasmuch as
Rlvervlew haa the wild animal soo and
we would have all the water needed for
ducks and geese and water fowl. We
make a lot of fuss about baby bears and
baby buffaloes, but to children, and
grownups, too. calves and colts and baby
pigs are Just as Interesting. I would
wager that the domestic animals would
prove aa attractive as the wild animals.

Llacola Highway m Nebrauilus.
OMAHA. July 14. To the Editor of The
Bee: To arbitrarily designate a road as
a highway In the sense of a Kentucky
macadamised pike does not make It one
and Is apt to fool the unwary.
So far as Nebraska la concerned, there
Is not much difference In the road, now
called the Lincoln highway, except that
part known as the Dodge street exten
sion, barring the bridges and a few
streets In a very few towns, than It
was thirty years ago.
Like the Union Pacific, It too, follows
the level valley of the Platte and on a
sandy soli In great part.
It la nothing other than a country road
and as nature made It. Improved a bit
by modorn methods of dragging and It
also has the advantage of no hills. There
are many places that are not sandy, but
are more or less gumbo and this spring
and summer these plaices have been quag
mires on account of the rains.
The red, white and blue rings on the
telephone poles guide the tourist also
through the business streets of the towns
and cities ou the route and occasionally
through tha residence districts also. In
some of the counties these colors have
been practically eliminated as the paint
evidently did not have much white lead
In It
One wonders why under the circum
stances that now that It has been given
thta high sounding title and must be a
help to the places that it passes, to sell
gasoline, to be fixed up in garages, to
stay In hotels for days at a time on ac
count of the roads when Impassable, that
the towns do not help out more.
One will have a hard time to find where
any sand, gravel or clay has been hauled
to the gumbo places. For Instance, In
the town of Waterloo Itself, Is one of
the worst places that a mule would get
mired.
The approaches from the east over the
bottoms to both Fremont and Columbus
are a disgrace to each. Last week there
were counted twelve automobiles mired
In the mud at one time In the SUver
Creek, Clarks, Central City and Grand
Island country. One, a six-cylinder Max
well, was towed to town and sold for
$250, and the owner was so disgusted that
he took the train.
Rich people only can do that kind of
thing and It is said that there will be
automobllea sold this fall In California
for a song, as many will not attempt to
come back that way.
A mixture of automobile and mud la aa
Incompatibility and a sorry sight as
well.
It must be confessed that the towns of
Nebraska are very pretty now and while
a few years ago tbey were of frame, now
they are of brick and atone, but that
Lincoln highway Is Just about the way
fet always was and all tha way to Jules
burg and beyond.
It la a' great compliment to be on an
ocean-to-ocean road ejid It would seens
that those along tt ought to gat busy and
make It. farmers and alL worthy of Its
name. GEORGE P. WILKINSON.

Bryan and Editors
Boston Transcript: Mr. Bryan believes
that editors should sign their own edi
torials, but why give them a prerogative
not always enjoyed even by secretaries
of state?
New Tork Post: Let's see. Is the Mr.
Bryan who demand $50 for a lecture on
peace the same Mr. Bryan who wants a
law compelling editor to make affidavit
that they have no financial Interest In
any cause they may advocate?
Springfield Republican: Mr. Bryan
wants to have editors compelled to show
any financial Interest they may have in
policies which they advocate. Would the
probability of enhancing their drawing
power on the Chautauqua droult be re
garded as a financial Interest?
Philadelphia Ledger: It la easy to un
derstand why Mr, Bryan ahould hate ob
scurity and why he should Impute base
motives to those who have no especial
admiration for him. His suggestion of
a law compelling editors to "disclose
what pecuniary interest they had In gov
ernmental policies" Implies his inability
to conceive of any other motive for crit
icism. As a matter of fact no reputable
newspaper, whatever Its own convictions,
bestttates to give both sides a fair chance
in lta pages. Considering the space the
press has given to Mr. Bryan, It la moat
ungrateful of him to Insinuate the con
trary. In a sense the newspapers are
already bipartisan. What Mr. Bryan
really means Is thst they ought not to
criticise him.

Wow I It rains.
On the panes
Pitchforks, rasors and chilblains.
Colored Infants and remains
Of oats and dogs and aeroplanes'.
And it roars
While it pours,
As the farmer does his choree
In diving bells, and bores
Poetholes In the atmosphere
To find his gates and doors.
O It's grand to be a farmer and poko
around in an ark.
To fare forth to feed the chickens in a
stanch seaworthy bark.
O it's fine to be a farmer and grow
goose-webs on your fwt.
And to buckle on your armor and swim.
out to cut the wheat.
O tha mermaid In the kofflr and the sea
cows in the dell.
Ail the Joys that make a salve for what
would otherwise be hell.
And now the drouth is broken, let's be
Joyful tn our gains.
Lets kyoodle, whoop and holler for these
million dollar rains!
