The federal district court of western Penn
sylvania haa given a hammer knock to a manu
facturer who aought through the label on his
goods to convey the Impression that they were
Imported. In an obscure corner of the label,
printed In small letters, were the words, "Mfd.

The pitiful sacrifice of life in .the army quar
ters ot San Francisco Is due not so much to the
government's failure to provide leas combustible
quarters. Frame buildings are more sought for
homes out there thun buildings of more durable
materials. Their popularity is grounded on the
belief of greater safety in event ot a severe
earthquake. That belief has existed for years
and is rooted In past experience. Despite proof
to the contrary. It maintains a strong hold on
the people of San Francisco.
Pounding- the State Treasurer.
The exceptional situation at the stale house
Is become almost acute, and bids fair to at
tract a great deal more of attention than some
of the principal actors may rare for. A horde
of doniorrats, both In and out of office, is clus
tered about the door of the state treanury, de
manding that It be unlocked to them. The state
treasurer is now anonymously threatened with
prosecution that amounts to blackmail, his alter
native being to give Assent to the Illegal pro
ceedings to which the other democratic state
officials are approving supporters. While
Treasurer Hall is standing out against threats
and cajolery, the spectacle is as disgraceful as
'were the performances of the legislature which
made the mistake that Is proving so embar
rassing and expensive. These democrats, feerful
to proceed legally to correct their blunder, are
willing; to connive In the treasurer's violation of
the law In preference to facing the penalties of
their own offense which they are unable to con
ceal. No other Incident in the state's history
haa so fully exposed the Incompetency of the
democratic party and Its leadership for the re
hponsibllltlen of government.
Put Omaha on the Butter Market.
Observing In the Monthly Crop Report, pub
lished by authority of the secretary of agricul
ture, a table of receipts of butter "at seven pri
mary markets" Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Milwaukee, New York, St. Louis and San Fran
cisco the editor of The Bee addressed an in
quiry to the chief of the bureau of crop esti
mates In charge of this publication, calling at
tention to the omission of Omaha from the list,
and asking what. If anything, was still neces
sary to secure recognition for Omaha aa "a pri
mary butter market?" The reply, Just received,
contains this advice:
For each of the cities mentioned In ymir letter the
figure are furnished by the Board of Trade or otrfr
commercial orgsnlsatlon, which in turn collerta tho
Information from the different transportation llnea of
the city. It la regretted that Omaha is not included
In the report you refer to, but in the correspondence
with Omaha and a few cthar targe cities, no oriranl
tatlon waa found that could rive the Information.
However, another effort will be made to get thla for
Omaha.
It strikes atis as extraordinary that Omaha
should he deprived of the prestige which by
rights belong to It as an unrivaled butter
producing and distributing center because of our
own Inaction. True, we have not established a
butter exchange here which the importance of
the Industry would fully warrant, but we have
commercial organizations that could easily com
pile the statistics required by the Department of
Agriculture to give us a standing as a primary
market. Even if no other advantage could come
from It than the listing in the official reports,
it Is time to put Omaha on the butter man of
the country.
Speculator! and the Money Market.
In some respects conditions In Wall street
today resemble the situation of eight years ago,
when the price of money was sent so high that
the clearing house banks, to prevent a panic,
suspended currency payments and Issued cer
t flcates to tide over the business of the country
until the affairs became settled. The discount
ing of foreign money was not unexpected, toeing
a natural outcome of the disturbance ot trade
Incident to the war, but the present fluctuations
Indicate the presence of an active speculative
element, and Its Influence' on the market Is not
wholly encouraging for the healthy progress ot
business. This activity is not confined to Wall
rtreet, but Is alao noticeable In London and
Paris, where -American money haa risen to a
considerable premium, showing that the specu
lators there are taking advantage of the great
demand for American exchange generated by
the war-time traffic. Danger for all lurks be
hind this manipulation of the market, and while
it continues the full measure of legitimate busi
ness cannot be transacted. The actual domestlo
commerco of the country la not at present endan
gered, but the export business la seriously Jeo
pardize by the gambling in foreign exchange.

Sanitation in the Trenches.
One of the marvela of modern warfare is the
provision for sanitation that keeps the fighting
man continually in a state of most vigorous
health. The Germans have Just made a report
of the excellent sanitary conditions that prevail
In the field so far as their armies are concerned,
and similar reports have been made by the
Allies. Apprehension expressed during the
winter as to what would ensue when the sum
mer sun came upon the battlefields haa proven
unfounded, because of the excellent service of
the medical corps. The Japanese were the pio
neers In this line of endeavor, and astonished
the world by excellent results shown for the
health ot their armies in their war with Russia.
Other nations wore quick to grasp the signifi
cance of this, and the value ot an efficient med
ical corps for an army was established.
Nowadays everything about a camp, perma
nent or temporary, is scrupulously clean, and
the word ot the medical officer is listened to
by everybody from the commander-in-chief
down. This is necessary to the preservation of
the health of the fighting man. In civil life
the soldier may shift for himself, and live In
tqualor if he likes, but when the uniform la
donned it must rover a clean skin, and the per
sonal habits of the man must conform to a reg
imen as strict and comprehensive as any ever
devised for the training of a crack athlete. The
servant 6f Mara is cleanly In his way of living,
today, if he never was before.
Of all the neutral nations of Europe, Swltser
lnd appears to be hardest hit by war. Tourist
business and travel are at a standstill, an enor
mous annual revenue is lost, and thla Is topped
with the added coat of maintaining a moblltxed
army. Thirty-five hundred hotels, employing
43.000 persons, are guestless, most of them
closed and their employes Idle and dependent.

That Cry of Wolf
Tha Outlook
The cry of "Wolf, uolf!" has ten heard so often
of late year that nobody pays attention to It, and It
has degenerated Into a disagreeable form of vocal ex
ercise. The lateat and most offensive recent outcrv
la that which cornea from some pcnpln In Oeontla, who
are shouting at the top of their voices that the in
dignant proteats of the newspapers against the revolt
ing crime of the mob which hsngpd FrAnk Is tlw
utterance of a press "SllbsdlIed by money from
Frank's friends. The charge Is, of course, puerile,
and might he Ignored If Ihe unanimity of tha news
papers In denouncing the outbreak of aavagery were
not the one hopeful aspect of the national disgrace.
The heat and vigor of that condemnation ahow that
the nation is sensitive to such an offense, and quick
to resent It aa a blow to Its honor.
The (Irrman press and many so-called German
Americana have been quirk to explain the gbund and
outspoken expression of American Indignation at Ger
man crimes SKalnst humanity on land and sea. as tha
utterance of a press subsidised by Great Britain, ft
these Germans had any knowledge of American opin
ion or any sense of humor, they would have been
saved from this egregious blunder; twisting tha lion's
tsil has been so long the habit of many American
newspapers that nothing leaa than a great ' and
passionate feeling of Indignation could have broken
tha hnblt. Home newspapers -have been and aomo
probably still are venal: but It Is unfortunate to wasta
the force of public opinion by making accusations ao
obviously preposterous that they fall to the ground
by aheer weight of stupidity.
And the cry of "Interests" haa been heard so often
that It no longer receives attention. A few years ago
It meant something; there were real wolves, and tha
country needed the warning. There are still wolves
prowling about, but they have been driven Into the
back count ry. The habit, however, of crying "Wolf,
wolf!" haa become so strong with some public men that
It haa taken the place of all other forma of speech.
If a measure la strongly urged by one group, the cry
that the "Interests" are behind it Immediately re
sounds from ocean to ocean; If It la vigorously op
posed, the cry that the "Interests" oppose It fills tho
air. if legislation falls of the beneficial results pre
dicted by its sponsors, tha failure ia due, not to Its
unwisdom, but to the organisation of the "Interests' to
defeat It. If one were to pay attention to the charges
which too often take the place of facts or arguments,
he would be driven to tho conclusion thai nothing Is
ever decided on Its merits in this country and that
there are no disinterested Americans.
Thla vicious habit of accusing the "Interests" Indis
criminately involves a waste of force which the coun
try cannot afford. There are till corrupt or tyranni
cal "Interests" which must be fought, but all "inter
ests" are not evil in spirit and practice, and even
tha evil "Intereeta" are not omnipresent. The cry of
the "Interests" haa become the stock In trade of so
many cheap politicians and self-seeking agitators that
the country Is faat coming to think of It aa "a voice
and nothing else," an eaay substitute for brains and
conviction. All charges against public men or organi
sations ought to react on the accusers unless tha evi
dence is forthcoming. The air haa become murky
with accusations and denunciations; they have become
a kind of hysteria.
Twice Told Tales
Still Akeae.
Among the passengers on a train on a one-track
road in the middle west was 1 a talkative Jewelry
drummer.
Presently the train stopped to take on water, and
the conductor neglected to send back a flagman. An
express came along and. before it could be stopped,
bumped the rear end of the first train.
Tha drummer was lifted from his seat and pitched
head first into the seat ahead. Hla silk hat was
jammed clear down over his ears.
He picked himself up and settled back In his seat.

An Opinion on the Training School.
OMAHA, Kept a To tha Editor of Tho
Bee. With reference to the teachers'
training school, let me call attention to
the following cutting I have saved:
Superintendent Graff In discussing the
"Training School," paid a rare compli
ment to Omaha, her Institutions, and
the product of the training school, which
includes among Ita alumni more than
one-eixth of all the teachers below the
high school grades In Omaha. He char
acterised the training school aa one of
the most Important phases of the Omaha
pubUo school system. "I am firmly of
the belief that the girls, the products of
the trmaha publlo echools, and the train
ing school cannot bo matched or sur
passed by any girls from any institu
tion." he aald In conclusion.
This waa in The Bee of June 1. 1913,
and doubtless expresses an unbiased
opinion. AN OMAHA TEACHER.

What Makes Progress In Schools t
OMAHA. Sept. 2. To the Editor of The
Bee: I can not understand the continued
attacks on the policy of our Board of
Education. We now have an Ideal board,
composed of the beat men of our city, and
when their election was agitated from
the standpoint of the yood-men view
point, it waa surmised that our troublea
were over. To be serious, we have aa
good a Jtoard of Education from the
standpoint of aucceea in business, brains
and honesty aa any In the United States,
but modern methods of education call for
directors who are in sympathy with prog
ress, and you cannot select men for that
purpose because they fill all of the re
quirements aa enunciated above. On the
contrary, we must elect men who believe
and will see that those beliefs are car
ried out In better working conditions for
our teachers, better pay and more schools,
simpler methods of Instruction, abolition
of militarism from the high school
(cadets), a complete revision of our his
tories baaed absolutely upon truth, the
opening of our schools after school hours
to discussion of political and scientific
questions aa a part of a larger and
broader education for us big boys and
girls who did not get enougn of It In our
youth because of economic pressure. A
progressive school board must do these
things or fail In Its purpose.

have not had to pit their puny strength
against the death-dealing heat of the

.rt.uu uoa;u on iy it,si iuled.vor.
Her eyes were of cerulean hue;
She had a merry way or movKlng,
And though ano loved to dress In blue.
tne waa not a "bluestocking!"
Sometimes before the sea-coal fire
ikihi aiua by side our toes we toasted;
Sometimes we braved the north wind's
Ire.
And skated gleefully or coasted.
And once, when raged the bitter storm,
And she by cruel cold was smitten.
To keep her little fingers warm
I gave the mold a mitten.
She treasured It, or so I deemed.
Through days Inviolate and vernal: 1
And still within her glance there gleamed
A tender light that seemed eternal.
And so love's tide flowed on and on.
What time the year was at Its Junlng.
And ever in my slumbers shone
Fond dreams of honeymooning.
But. lo! this morning In the mail
I found a wedding Invitation. '
Announcing (ah. the woeful tale!)
That ahe had caught a rich relation.
And with the word (alack Orday!)
There was a brief note neatly written.
The maiden hod but this to say:
"I send you back your mitten 1"
