Twenty-one yean of Ak-Sar-Ben Is another
example of where age does not wither.
With "Billy" and Ak-Sar-Ben doing team
work, Omaha ought to be Just Irresistible this
coming week.
According to the report of that convention
of "drys," "Brother Charley" Bryan is not only
rldfng on that water wagon, but Insists on driv
ing It fclmselft
To our friends and patrons who have helped
make this special Ak-8ar-Ben edition of The Bee
such a fine number we want to express apprecia
tion and thanks.
But what became of those 600 delegates
whom Governor Morehead appointed and com
missioned to represent Nebraska in the Farm
ers' National congress T v.-
All quiet at the state house! No new Inter
change of courtesies between the governor and
the treasurer, and no feminine halr-pulltng
match for several days. ,.,..-
No, inquisitive stranger,' Omaha has sot
rented the space between the court house and
the city hall for a lumber yard merely putting
up reviewing stands for the Ak-Sar-Ben parades,
It would seem that no great harm would be
done It Dr. Dumba's place were not filled at
once, and an efficient charge d'affaires were to
carry the messages back and forth as temporary
ambassador.
In, re-electing Mayor Rolph for a second term,
Pan Francisco recognized and rewarded merit.
Mayor Rolph has a record of welcoming speeches
which, pinned together, would belt the continent
with vocal diamonds.
The policy of watchful waiting as applied to
Mexico was publicly and officially discarded by
the president some weeks ago, but It will take
a microscope to discover a difference In the pol
icy that has been substituted for it.
. The new buildings going up In Omaha Im
press the stranger mightily with the progress
and activity of the city, and more particularly
with the confidence of our own people In
Omaha's future. Confidence Is the cornerstone
of every new structure and every new business
venture.
Another place where the odious fee system
survives Is in our Insanity board. There is no
good reason why the county attorney, or one of
his deputies, should not serve) as the legal mem
ber of the board without extra cost to the tax
payers. And why should the examining phys
ician's stipend be based on the number of men
tal wrecks sent to the asylum? Here Is a chance
for an over-due reform.

Ak-Sar-B&n's Twenty-First Reception.
King Akv8ar-Bn XXI will enter his capital
city this week, the event marking the attain
ment of mabhood majority by an Institution that
has carried the name of Nebraska to the four
corners of the world. It Is a season of relaxa
tion and rejoicing, the people are In mood for
the holiday and all conditions invite participa
tion In the fun. Ak-Sar-Ben Is a Joyons and a
jovial ruler, whose reign has been marked by an
era of steady growth and uninterrupted
prosperity.
While at first conceited as an Omaha insti
tution, Ak-6ar-Ben soon outgrew that, and for
many years has been recognized as part of the
life of the state. Omaha foots the bills, but the
people of Nebraska all share In the benefits, and
this is as it should be. Nebraska and Omaha
have moved upward and forward together In the
twenty-one years since Ak-Sar-Ben was born,
and are still going on to greater and better life.
The part of Ak-Sar-Ben has had in this advance
Is beyond calculation, bnt Its Influence Is un
doubted, and It means more for the future than
It has for the past.
Therefore, "All hall to Ak-8ar-Ben XXI."
Great Britain's Plea in Aroidanoe.
Earl.Orey, foreign secretary for the British
government, has Just entered a plea In avoidance
In the case pending between his government and
the United States concerning the unwarranted
Interference by the British neutral overseas
commerce. Ills note does not answer the point
raised by the United States, nor does It contain
facts to Justify the policy adopted by the Allies
In the order In council, promulgated in Febru
ary of this year. It was to' be expected that the
trade of the United Kingdom would decrease In
some regards, and In none would It increase as
rapidly, or to the extent of that of the United
States. Entrance Into the war precluded any
possibility of British shippers engaging as ex
tensively in foreign trade as they might It their
country had remained at peace with the world.
The crux In this case, however, Is the right
of neutral nations to traffic freely between
themselves and between the unblockaded ports
of nations at war. The British government Is
among the signatories to the Declaration of
London, which specifically seta forth the condi
tions under which such traffic may be carried
on, and the provisions of which are contravened
by the order In council. If Great Britain has
any complaint to make regarding the disposition
of goods shipped from this country to Scandi
navian countries, or to Holland, it Is against
those countries. In the American meat cases,
recently decided, the president of the admiralty
court of Great Britain held that surplus ship
ments to European neutrals afforded only pre
sumptive and not conclusive evidence of enemy
destination. Even were it adopted as conclu-t
slve proof, the point Is still against the British,
for It does not justify Interference with Amer
ican trade in order to prevent the Scandinavians
or Dutch from trafficking with .the Germans.
To admit the British contention on this
point would be at least unneutral on part of the
United States and such action is 6ut of the ques
tion We' are seeking only the rights of JSeu--trals,
and must accept no less as a satisfactory
settlement.
, Disappearing- Difference.
1 Have yon wondered at tha passina- of tha "Way
Down et'r tyea of play the kind where tha farwar
la eomethlng- of a Joker Maybe tha answer la that
be Isn't tha Joka ha used to be. . We notice ha drives
the aame kind of auto you do, and sometimes we sus
pect ha has mora money, la tha bank. Ttiese thin
make a hlsr Impression oa 'town-fad playwrlfhts.
Colller'e Weakly.
The thought here suggested could be easily
elaborated in many ways, for, In a word, it
merely calls attention to the fast disappearing
difference between farm dweller and city in
habitant once so sharply accentuated. It Is not
only that the farmer drives the same kind of
auto that attracts our attention or rather falls
to attract our attention but that he dresses In
the same kind of clothes, enjoys the same house
hold comforts, reads the same books, magazines
and newspapers, keeps In as close touch with
current events, sends his children to the same
schools and colleges, and travels almost as much
for business and pleasure. Perhaps the farmer
does not go to the theater as often aa the city
nan, but If he did he would enjoy the same sort
of shows, so that the play which makes the
farmer a "Joke'' would be still less popular.
Conditions of town and country Ufa could not
be so noticeably equalised without bringing
closer together the type of farm habitant and
o city dweller.
The Rising Cost of Money.
The conclusion of negotiations for the
Anglo-French credit loan In this country draws
attention to the rising cost of money due te war.
A marked tendency In that direction was
noticeable for several years before the war, and
many high-class securities were advanced ' by
steady pressure from 3 hi per cent to 4 H and 5
per cent. War's pressure far outruns ordinary
economic forces and already has set a new high
level of money cost.
The 6 per cent which the credit loan will net
Investors is not extraordinary as war loans go.
In the second and third years of the civil war
the government issued bonds and treasury notes
bearing 6 per cent, and the necessities of the
last ten months of that war forced the govern
ment to pay 7 per cent. Japan paid 8 per cent
straight, exclustv of discount, for the greater
part of its borrowings during the war with Rus
sia. The dally cost of these wars, though con
sidered staggering at the time, are trifling com
pared with money cost of the present glgantlo
struggle.
Up to September 1 the war has added
tlT, 000,000,000 to the debt of the na
tions engaged. This means a monthly wastage
of $1,300,000,000. As the struggle broadens
and grows in Intensity the cost Is bound to In
crease and the demand for money will drive the
cost upward.
No one can foresee the end of the war or
estimate the financial wastage it will entail.
When the end does come the demand for money
Is not likely to diminish. Enormous amounts
of capital will be needed to restore destroyed
property and revive the Industries and activities
of the country swept by armies. All these
forces work for the benefit of the money-lender.
The United States cannot wholly escape the
effect of the financial pressure In Europe, which
clearly foreshadows an Indefinite era of dear
money.

Thla Is part af a saafaalae eaUele
perttaaat te a bow effaia live ewbjeet.
WitBM the national committee convene each city
bidding for tha convention preaenta throualt it
apokeamen eorent anrumente why It should have
tha preference. Moat of these arguments relate to tha
physical well being and convenience of tha delegaUa
and convention crowds, and the proper equipment ir
tha expedition and tha transaction of tha burlneas on
which thoy will be called. For with tha vast espan
Ion of the country and Its r rowing- population tha
national convention of fbday has become of mastodon
proportions aa compared with the pigmy sla of tha
early years. Each convention of tha two great partiea
now co run els of approximately l.mo delegates and 1,000
altematea, while tha officers, press eorreapondenta.
special guet, spectators and camp followere are esti
mated from to ino.flno, of which at beat only a
small part can actually be wltneea to tha proceedings.
Firet-Though there Is properly no first nor 1ast
the railway faollltles to bring thla vast army together
and take Ita constltusnt part to their homee after tha
close of tha eonvantiou are absolutely essential. No
one-road town could funnel folka In that number In
and out with saUefaetory promptness in tha altotted
time.
, Becond After tha detegalee and crowds sra as
sembled they must be decently housed and fed: thev
must be permitted to sleep, eat and drink and pursue
cleanliness and seek amusement. The convention ex
tends at least ever the greater part of a week, but la
in uton aa a nsla only a few hours each day. En-en
If all Jhe stranger wars able to attend, which they
are not. they would hav to be provided for when
the convention la not In session. It Is the hotels and
restaurant, refreshment places, baths, theaters, etc ,
that must be In requisition, and the city best sup
plied with these faollltles will usually be overtaxed.
Third A suitable and safe convention hall must
be available. National conventions have been held
In times past In all sort of meeting places ball room,
opera house, armory, exposition hatl.wlgwam tent and
coliseum. Of late, however, more exacting require,
menta hav been met an auditorium of fairly flre
proof construction, capable of seating the 2.000 dele
gates and alternates on one floor level, and of holdinn
altogether from 13.000 to U.000 or U.00O people, with lot
Impossible aooustio pmpertlea, within walking dWaneo
of main hotels and aaaily reached by street car, would
answer description. In tha convention that nomi
nated Cleveland was held In a tent pitched on Chi
cago' lake front In 1900 the Audltorlm In which
Kansas City wa to house tha democratic convention
burned a few weeks prior to the data, but a new and
mora commodious building waa at ones erected In lla
place and ready at tha appointed time.
Fourth Tha crowds on the floor and in the gtUIer
lea are not the only one attending the convention;
the whole newspaper reading public throughout tha
length and breadth of the land and over seaa encir
cling tha globe wherever civilized nations exist, are
present by proxy in tha person of th press repra
nntatives. The proposal has even been advanced In
all aeriouanesa to shut out all the spectator except
the newspaper reporters In tha Interest of expediting
business, and for th protection of the delegates from
outside Influences, and of relying on tha press to dis
seminate accounts of what is happening aa minutely
and graphically aa need be. Whether this doubtful
expedient la ever adopted or not. th proper aocommo
datlon of tha press gallery Is fundamental; It would
be useleaa to hold a convention, write a platform and
nominate a presidential ticket unless the news of it
could b gotten out 1
' Fifth Financial safeguards for the legitimate ex
pense of th convention must b provided. Aa the
convention city reap th profit of money spent by
delegate and visitors, so It 1 expected to foot th
bills. Tha customary way la ta raise a guaranty fund
and deposit It to the credit of a local treasurer author
ised to meet obligation as they arise. For 19ng Den
ver put up 11(10,000 for the democrat, aa did also Bll
roore In Mi, while Chicago Insured without limit
whatever outlay might b necessary for the repub
licans said to have called for about t7t,000. Tha rang
of expenditure covers hall rent music, decoration,
ticket, printing, badge, eaJarle of paid employes
and personal expensea of office rr In charge.
Sixth Sentimental and political reasons may be
urged for a particular convention location. The repub
lican went back to Philadelphia in 1900 to celebrate
the completion of the first half century of the party's
existence In the same place where th start had been
made. Tha democrat fixed upon Bt Lcula for their
convention In 1904 In order to enable those attending
to take In tha Louisiana Poroheae expoaUlon at tha
same time. Political considerations, however, are fao.
tor In the choice much mora often, upon the theory
that one city may be better tor a particular candidate
than another or that the award of the convention mny
help bring In the electoral vote of the state thus
favored, or at leaat serve to allay factional difference
and encourage the party leaders to unite In a more
vigorous onslaught on the political enemy.
To what extent these expectations are actually real
Ued Is a deoldedly open question. The democ ratio
convention of 1W0 went to Charleston, while the lower
ing cloud of civil war were gathering, with the hope
and design to permit the southern alav state to con
trol, and yet It quickly split on th rock and both
wlnge found It advisable to adjourn to Baltimore to
finish their work. To tha fact that the republicans
assemble that year In Chicago Instead of In a city
east of tha Allagneate is undoubtedly due the nomi
nation of Llnooln Instead of Seward. Tha Cincinnati
convention In IffM named Hayes after Blaine wa
beaten out largely because of local Ohio surroundings
and Harrison likewise enjoyed an advantage of prox
imity to bom folka In tha Chicago convention that
nominated him In 188. The ohoioe of Chicago for tha
last republican convention was hailed aa a victory
for "th allies" against Tart who had no prospect of
support from Illinois, but It did not prove to be so.
Ketther Is It possible for the convention location ta
be definitely measured In electoral vote. Although
the republican favored Bt Loul In 1x96, Missouri
want democratlo a usual, but when the democrats
held their convention there In ISM Missouri, for th
first tlm In over a third of a century, went republican.
Th competition for th republican convention In l9us
Uy between Kansa City and Chicago, and had there
been any assurance that the electoral vote of Missouri
could have been thus coaxed to the ticket the de.
clalon would certainly have been reversed, becaua no
one regtu-ded Illinois aa even debatable. Colorado, it
Is true, gave Ita vote to the democratlo ticket afte.
the democratlo eonventlon had been held In Denver,
but the relation of cause and effect la uncertain!
Where the nominating convention of all th great
parties are brought to th same city It goes almost
without saying that they would naturally neutraUi
oa aaother. so far as appreciation and reciprocity
in the form of gratitude vote ar concerned.

Robert Buchanan.
Seven pleasant miles by wood, and
stremm end moor.
Seven mile along the country road that
wound
Tphlll and downhill In a thin, rad line.
Then from the forehead of a hill, behold
Lying below me, sparkling ruby-like
The villa gel quaint old gables, roof of
thatch.
A glimmering splrs that peeped above
the firs.
The suneet lingering orange-red on all.
And nearer, tumbling through a mossy
bridge
The river that I knew! No wondrous peep
Into the feary land of Oberon.
Ita bowers. Its glow-worm lighted colon
nades Could weigh upon th city wanderer's
heart
Witli peace so pure as this! Why, yonder
stood,
A fledaling' downward flight beyond the
spire,
Tho gray old manse, endeared by
memories
Of Jean, the daughter of the minister;
And in the cottage with the painted sln
Hard by the bridge, how many a winter's
night 4r
Had I with politicians. , sapient-eyed.
DlHCiissed the country's latest news.
Tile very gig before the smithy door,
The barefoot lassie with tho milking pall
lauslng and looking backward from the
bridge.
The last rook wavering homeward to the
wood.
All seemed a sunset picture, every tint
Unchanged. .
There came a rural muslo on my ears
The wagons in the lanes, the waterfall
With cool sound plunging in its wood
nest wild.
The rooke and the windy rookery.
The shouts of children, and far away
The crowing of a cock. Then o'er the
bridge
I bent, above the river gushing down
Through mossy boulder, making under
neath Green-shaded pools, where now and then
a trout
Sank In the ripple of It own quick leap;
And like some olden and familiar tune.
Half-hummed aloud
Troubloualy, faintly, came the buzz of
looms.
