City I'hfticUa I-t vnrtng s report show ality-f.Air Crtl.s duilrig di -nth of Noveibber, and ealy fifty Missouri Shaky. The Inference to be drawn from the award of the democratic national convention to St, Louia la that the party leaders are convinced Missouri Is shaky and that they wll. have dlffl cutty in holding it in the democratic column, where it has been continuously since the civil war with the single exception when It gave Its electoral vote to Taft in 1 90S. The strongest plea put up for St. Louis, according to the re port of the proceedings, was that the convention was needed there to hold old Missouri in line, and we do not donbt it, although it Is question able whether eveu the concession of this prize will accomplish the object. What makes Missouri shaky from the dem ocratic standpoint 1 easy to see, for the friends of Champ Clark still remember the dubious deal that made Wilson the nominee at Baltimore in stead of Clark, and the later reward of the man who turned the trick with the best cabinet port folio. Missouri, too, has a lot of democrats who do not approve the president's handling of our foreign relations, his flirting with woman suf frage, his sacrifice of American interests In Mexico and the numerous other things "not la the platform." The wine political prophet will keep an eye cn the mysterious stranger from Missouri, who Is more than likely to pick republican company next year. Good Job Well Done. The announcement from the Belgian relief committee that urgent need for food no longer exista in that country is welcome news for Americans. Not that our people are weary of giving, but because they are glad to know that conditions In the little kingdom of grief have been so greatly Improved. Restoration of in dustry and the normal activities of social life there bad been such a to remove the danger of privation from lack of food. The generous response from America last winter to the call for aid for Belgium saved millions from suffer ing, and grateful acknowledgement nag been made of this service. Our people have ever been ready to share their bounty with the needy, but this was the biggest Job of Its kind in recent years. It was tackled In a spirit of con fidence, and the work was carried through with ardor to success, and America is ready now for the next call. Fan-Americanism Not a Novelty. While thev democrats have raised a Joyous clamor over the president's Pan-American ut terances, as though Mr. Wilson had entered on an entirely new phase of American statecraft, as a matter of fact, this policy is not a new one! and only the present straits of the majority party at this time lead it to pretending that a discovery has been made. From the time of James Monroe down the attitude of the United States towards the other American governments has been the ame, always helpful, never ag gressive, and patient to the last degree. It la true that some ot the urgency of self-interest that might have fostered the policy in the be ginning no longer exists, but It is not alto gether divested of the protective quality that first recommended it adoption and practice. . For fifty years republican presidents sought 'to cultivate better and closer relations with the several peoples of America; even Orover Cleveland surpassed Mr. Wilson In bis ad vocacy of an .AU-American union, while he pressed to the actual verge of war with England on account of Veneiuela. When Roosevelt and Taft sent missions to the South and Central American countries, democrats seneered at their effort aa "dollar doplomary." Now a single con ference, dealing with but one phase of the complicated relations developing out of the In creasing intercourse between the United 8tatea and its American neighbors, transform the president Into the Paladin of Pan-American unity and harmony. While shouting thus, the party clacquer are simply trying to divert public attention from the weakness of the administration In other directions, but the trick Is too thin to fool any one who doesn't want to be tooled. One Point for the Straphanger. Slowly but surely are human r'ghts being established above the ring of the cash register. The latest victory in the direction of amelior ating modern man' unhappy condition comes from Washington, but not from congress or the cabinet. A Judge there decided that a trap hanger ha some right that even a motormaa or conductor It bound to respect, and one of these right Is to hang on to the strap of hi choice, regardless ot the raucous command to "step forward In the car." Passengers are not pawns, says the court, and are not to be shifted at the will of the trolley car commanders. This is a belated recognition by th court at a right that every seatless rider on a street car has felt to be his, but has hesitated to asser(. But it will yet lack something ot comfort for the Indi vidual who rides many weary miles, swinging cn a strap and wondering If none of bU fellow passengers have homes. It does show, however, that the condition ot the straphanger Is not ab tolutely abject. Over In Illinois a special session of the leg. islature has Just concluded Its work, having been called together to re-enact failed and overlooked appropriations. Here In Nebraska. Instead ot railing on th legislature to authorise drafts on the treasury according to the constitution, we simply go to the supreme court and have the constitution suspended by Judicial construction. Why should the democrats go to all the trouble and expense now of holding a big president-nominating convention when Colonel Maher and Governor. Morehead hare done the whole Job by filing that autograph collection with Sec retary of State Pool? With the president' came on the Nebraska primary ballot, every thing else becomes surplusage. Tha, Jitney which honked out of the west a year o and spread nervous prostration la traction circle from coast to coast, succeeded In running down on victim. The Atlantic City & Shore trolley Is In a receiver's hospital. Buffer ing from aa overdose of Jitneys. Elsewher the traction people have taken the Jitney' number. If that decision stands that th conductor cannot make a passenger "move up front," all our atreet railway companlea will have to enlarge the rear platform at once, or build their car so they consist of sotting but back platform. Aimed at Omaha Ord Quia: Puasy is "in bed" in Omaha and the Health department has advised th killing ot alt cats in the city, considering them a menace to th public health. It la a safe bet that If all the old maids of the city could vote those hard-hearted officials would lose their Jobs In short order. Beatrice Express: John O. Teleer, Frank Harrteoa and a few other Nebraska would-be president makers will never forgive The Omaha Be for the following: "Other state bealdes Nebraska have similar presi dential primary laws, but they evidently do not have 'o many cheap notorlety-oeekere trying to use these laws te project themselves Into the public prints." Tork News-Times: If the Omaha police force wilt come over w will Show them th beat method nf dealing with footpads. Over there the footpads usu ally get the victim. Over here we make the footpad the victim. Beatrice Rxpreas: Omaha's sew grain exchange will have no thirst parlor, and those who desire to quench their thirst after a bard day's work will have to walk two whole blocks for their liquid refreeh menu, which fact is referred to by an Omaha peper as quite a hardship Indeed. Ulysses Dispatch: Nebraska la certainly becom ing famous. In Btecher it ha the phamplon grappler. and In John O. Telaer, the champion political acrobat. John was first a republican, tben a free silver republi can, later a democratic, and still later an unconsol able bullmooser. We often wonder where the next Jump will land hlrri. Prohibitionists and socialists had better erect bombproof entrenchment and barbed wire entanglements around their territory or they will yet find J oh no gamboling on their reservations. Valparaiso Visitor: While riding on a street ear In Omaha on Tuesday of last week. Mis Mollle Polak. daughterof County Treasurer Polak of Wahoo, dis covered a large snake and two small ones colled tin near the stove pipe, where It passes through the roof of th car. The attention of the conductor was called, th car atopped, the passenger alighted and th snake were killed. It was a fortunate discovery for the reptiles would have doubtless dropped to the floor ef th car later In the day and one or more passengers been bitten or else frlgthtened out of their wit. Lincoln Journal: The contest having narrowed down to Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas, all our efforts to secure the democratic national cqnventlon at Omaha seem te have been thrown away. Beatrice Express: The Intimation of the leader of the farmers' congress recently held at Omaha that the farm demonstrator Idea is promoted only by city folks is erroneous. In Gag county the membership f th Gage County Crop Improvement association Is fully four-fifths farmers, real tiller of th soil. Twice Told Tales 1 The Btery ef Creatleaf William Dean Howells, the well known America a author and critic, tells a Shakeapeare story. "In Stratford," he says, "during one of the Shake speare jubilees, an American tourist approached an aged villager In a smock and said: " 'Who Is this chap, Shakespeare, anyway?' " 'H were a writer, sir.' " 'Oh, but there are lot of writer. Why do you make such an Infernal funs over thla one, then? Wherever I turn I see Rhakeapear hotels, Shakeapea.-e cakea, Bhakeapear chocolates,. Shakespeare shoes. What the deuce did he write magaalne- stories, at tacks on lb government, shady novels?' - " "No. sir: oh.! no. sir.' aetd the aged villager, 't understand he writ for the Bible, sir.' "Philadelphia Ledger. ; -. Rather DIsappolattBC. Tb conversation having turned to keen disappoint ments, Charles M. Kellen, former head of the New Tork, New Haven Hartford railroad, recalled an Incident along that line. Some time ago an elderly woman heard that a friend who lived in a distant city was very 111, and decided that It was her duty to go and see her. Th next day she made the trip and was met at the door by th invalid. v ; . "Well, Mary," greeted th visitor, entering the house and removing her wrapt. "How are you getting along?" "Very well. Indeed, Martha." answered th other. "In fact, I am nearly well now." "Nearly well!" exclaimed th caller in a disap pointed vote. "And after 'me coming all this long way to see you, too!"

T.-To th Editor of The Bee: I would like to expreaa my opinion In regard to tbe actions of our secretary of state In regard to the not guaranteeing safety and protection to the .Henry Ford peace mission. H says that this government cannot guarantee pro tection to any person or persons within th war Son unles such person or per sona go there on necesaary business. What In hla opinion would be necessary business? This nation was ready to go to war on account of tha (inking of the Lusitanla because some Americans lost their Uvea. How many were there among those that were there on necessary businees? Prob ably none. If some ammunition manu facturer were to go there to close a deal for the furfilshing of material for the laugterlng of humanity, or th closing of a great financial deal, or It some millionaire were go for the benefit ot hi health, he would consider it a neces sity and promise him or them protec tion.' The war munition manufacturer have spent a vast amount ot money in perfecting their planU and naturally want to prolong th war for profit and are opposed to any one Interfering with the arrangements and must be protected. .But this government cannot afford to protect a peace mission because It does not deem It a necessity. Christ came on earth on a peace mis sion to advocate peace on earth, good will to men. Henry Ford goes to Europe on a similar mission, but our preaent secretary gf state doea not seem to con sider such a mlaaton necesaary. But if it ta a buslnesa In which dollars are con cerned this government i In honor bound to pledge its protection. 1 a a .humbM American citlsen cannot agree with Mr. Lansing as to what constitutes a neces sity. ' Jf 1 understand Mr. Lansing's position and Ideas rightly, he would aacritice the youth of thla nation on th battlefield to avenge any wrong done to one who went to mak dollars, but if person went o aa errand of mercy, in the interest of suffering humanity, and a wrong befell him. he would not favor paying any at tention to him or to th affair and eimply ay "the d m fool had no buslnesa to go there."
