Amrlca, Aaitri and the Ancona.
The text of the note dispatched by Secretary
Lansing to Vienna, setting forth the position of
the I'alted Btatea as to the Ancona Incident, ia
of that virile quality which will meet the on
qualified endorsement of true Americans. The
situation is mora then serious. It Is grave, and
fraught with poaaibilltles that must be fully ap
preciated and understood In their ultimate terms.
It grows out of the responsibility of ht govern
ment to Its citlxens. One of the chief weak
nesses of tha present administration at Washing
ton has been its laxity, If not Indifference, la
the matter of providing protection for American
citlxens wherever they may be, regardless of tbe J
standing of the offender against the rights of
Americana. It ia encouraging to note that this
policy Is being abandoned for tbe assertion of a
more vigorous concern for the safety of Amer
icans.
Austria cannot be unaware of the attitude
assumed by the United States In its exchange of
notes with Germany over the sinking of passen
ger boats by aubmarines. For this reason tbe
sinking of the Ancona under the circumstances
eatabliabad ia all the more offensive A dnmand
that the Austrian government Immediately disa
vow the action of its submarine commander Is
thoroughly Justified. Leas tbaa that would be
submission to the practice which we have so
sternly reprehended. -
The definite language employed by Secretary
Lansing ahould b ample notice to European gov
ernmenta that tbe United States will not under
take to distinguish between them when dealing
with matters that are Inhuman In their nature,
or that'tranacend tbe law of nations.
More Democratic Parsimony.
Word comes from Lincoln that the demon-rats
at tha state house are paring, tha cheese a little
bit closer than ever before. This time the pe
culiar example of the party's parsimony practiced
for political purposes, is to refuse to advance tbe
pay of atat employes for five days by withhold
ing checks for the monthly pay roil until after
Christmas.
The Bee never haa excused extravagance ia
the management of public affairs, but It haa al
ways held that the state could well afford to aet
a proper example as an employer. Publio ser
vice could not In any way be Injured, nor would
the public interests in any way be Jeopardised,
through Issuing cbecka to the state employes
before Christmas In order that they may have a
little money for holiday uses. However, demo
crats are sternly guarding the cash box Just now,
after raiding it In order to maintain a political
machine by tha pay roll.
SecTttarj Diuviels' Program.
Following the lead of the president and the
secretary of war, the secretary of navy now
comes forward with tba outlines of his program
for extending the atrength of the naval arm of
our national defense. Mr. Daniels haa merely
given In a more detailed manner tbe atatementa
made by the president. His plan contemplates
a continuing program of construction, extending
over a five-year period, and Involving an ex
penditure of approximately 1100,000,000 a year.
On the completion of this program tha Unitea
States would have a navy second only to that of
Oreat Britain, equipped In tha most modern fash
ion, and capable of meeting the most serious
pbaaea of the defense problem that confronts this
country.
' That the program rests on tbe experience of
this and other countries ia the matter of build
ing and maintaining a navy aa determined by
the experts, Is a strong point In Ita favor. It la
certain to meet with early aaslstano in congress,
because tha bouse commute to which It will be
referred la dominated by tha "big navy man."
The rough water before it will be encountered
after It comas from tha committee, for there la
ia eoogree aa element of considerable atrength
opposed to the general plan for increasing tha
military strength of this country. How potent
this Influence may be remalna to be developed,
but it la certain that soon after the holiday re
cess both sides will be required to disclose their
power to some degree.
X7aya for tha Convict's Family.
On suggestion In tbe report of Attorney
Oeneral Gregory may not receive from congress
the attention that la due It on merit. This Is
solely because the present session will be largely
occupied by thing that bulk. larger In the public
eye, and weigh heavier on the political scales,
than doea the question of convict labor. The
attorney general, calling attention to tha situa
tion that prevalla at the federal prisons, points
out that some provision must be made for the
employment of the prisoners. Tentatively, he
suggests that furniture making be taken up, to
the end that prison factories may provide for
the government's needs la this lta. The making
of binding twine, bagging, and similar articles
will be continued for tbe time at least. Chief
of his recommendations is that a wage be paid
the convict, over and above hla cost for keeping,
and that the surplus be sent to hi dependents.
Tbe wisdom of this course 1 so plain that
it ought to need no supporting argi-roent. On
of the roost potent Influences la reformatory
work is to convince tbe individual that some
thing of responsibility rests upon him. Next to
this Is to show blm that ho is capable of pro
ducing something through honest effort. And
finally, the lessons of thrift that show the futility
of attempting abort cuta to prosperity or af
fluence. These lessons are bent taught through
the medium of useful toll, and when compen
sated at a rate that serves to awaken ambition,
will do more to bring about the change essen
tial to true character reformation than any other
agency.
Attorney General Gregory's recommendation
for a wag for convict ought to be put Into
practice at the federal prisons with little delay.

Running for Office
Vork Newe-Tttnee: For fear that Henry Ford hae
not already enough trouble, some Omaha republicans
are Preparing a petition to place his name en the re
publican ballot for preeldeat. Another penalty for try
ing; to do somethinr.
Treritun Republics a Leader: It le aald that W. J.
Bryan now refuses to respond when addressed ae
colonel. He le an opposed to anythlna military that
he detests the title. Let's cell htm doaeon.
Beatrice Ex pre as: The humorist of the Omaha
World-Herald, referring to the elgners of the petition
filed to put Preeldeat Wilson's name on the Nebraska
primary ballot, eaya: "Thoee men whose names ap
pear on tha list are leadera of the loyal flghtln
democracy ef Nebraska." Really. It Is to laugh.
Hasting Tribune: The filing of Wilson's name
with the secretary of elate at Lincoln, aa a democ ratio
candidate for the presidency, shows olearly that all
tha political notoriety seekers are not In one party.
Bleir Pilot: Kdger Howard aeys In his Columbus
Telegram that ''the Omaha brewery oomWnatlun must
take Its hand off the throat of tha democratle party
In Nebraska or self reepectlne; democrat will revolt
and rraah the very lire out of the corporation com
bination." They mtiet to aetlsfy Howard, but the
Judge hasn't been aatlefied with the action of Ne
braska democrats, when they elected Gilbert M.
HMchtock senator, for instance. Many demos have
len heartily sick of that job and may dump Otlbert
M. alrmc with the brewers and corporations next yeer,
whp knowe?
Kearney Democrat: What Queer mixtures da
velop In politics When Bryan was Wilsons rlaht
bewer. fleneter Hitchcock carried his pockets full of
Jibbers and harpooned Wilson at every Jump on the
turnpike. Aa soon as Bryan left tha cabfnet and It
appeared to be no ttln away from an open fight
between Bryan and Wilson. Hitchcock turned tha
aolitiital flapjack and landed In WfTeon a arms, butter
aide up.
Ruehvllle Standard: J. D. fVott has written Hen
ator Hitchcock a letter stating that ha would not ac
cept the office of receiver of tha land office at O'Neill.
Mr. Bcott stated In hie letter re "eons why ha would
not accept the office, which will probably give Sen
ator Hitchcock a hunch aa to how democrats feel
over the petty Jealouay which exists between the
aenater and W. J. Bryan. Mr. Scott will continue hla
present occupation as court reporter for Judge West
over which le very gratifying: to all of tha people In
this Judicial district aa well aa to tha Judge, who
always contended that by Mr. Rcott'a appointment to
tha receivership he would he the greatest looser.
Beaver City Tlmes-Trlbune: Samuel Roy Mo
Kelvle, alleged candidate for the republican nomina
tion for governor, had hla picture on the front page
of tha State Journal's mage line section Sunday. Free?
Not yet) Samuel Roy ran pay for city advertising.
The country yokela do It free. But In the Times
Tribune, not yet)
Beatrice Express: P. L. Hall, democratic national
committeeman from Nebraska, and a Ufa long friend
of William Jennings Bryan, Is authority for tha state
ment that tha ex-eecretery of atata will b on hand
at tha democratic national convention In Ht. Louis
with "flfty-eeven varieties'' of trouble. There are
many democratic leaders In the atat who assert that
tha ex-commoner will not be a delegate to tha con
vention. Crawford Courier: Frank C. Hamer of Omaha la
out "agin or ylt" for the republican nomination for
state treasurer. Frank la certainly a peralstant cuss,
aa this la at ieaat the third time ha haa come out for
that plum. The flrat time Walter Oeorg-e got hla goat
In nomination and tha next time getting the nomina
tion, democ ratio Oeorge Hall defeated him. Wonder U
he la trying to beat Bryan's record f
Kearney Hub: The Huh quite agree with tha
Aurora Republican that Nebraska republicans have no
call to tie themselves up with a "favorite eon" presi
dential movement This may mean Norria, or Burkett
or Estbrook.
Hall and the Court
Tekemeh Herald: State Treasurer Hall got a call
down by the supreme court laat week, which will
make blm realise that he la not the only pebble on
the beach. Tha court took the view that the legle
lature knew what la waa doing when It paeeed the
law creating those department and provided that they
should be maintained from the fees collected. It looks
as though tha Stat treasurer wanted to hold all the
money possible In the banka ef the Hall family. The.
voter will probably remember blm at tha neat elec
tion and give him what he has Invite.
Columbus Telegram: Tha Nebraska supreme court
baa commanded the atat treasurer to spit In the fact
ef the atat ecnetltutlon. But the decision I not sur
prising. If the high onurt had etoop by the state
treasurer aad the constitution, then some of lta own
members might have been compelled to carry back to
tha treasury salary money which they could not have
received except through their own court' a preceea rf
making tha constitution ar plaything for politicians.
Kearney Times: Tha decision of tne supreme
court against Oeorge Hall, atat treasurer and In
favor at W. F. Rldgell. fir commissioner, will be re
ceived with glad acclaim hy almost everyone, for In
spite of the fact that ene heard commendation for the
militant treasurer one in a while, the general tm
prvedon held In the atata was that Mr. Hall waa
wrong In hla attitude. But let s add a word In be
half of Mr. IUU and hla eland. Even though the court
proved the gentleman was wrong and departments of
the Mate's big mill were forced to practically ceaee
operation for a while, Brother George succeeded In
ectabllahlng A act rule (though not his own) for the
future conduct af treaaurere (thla la more ef the

OMAHA, Dee. W.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Of recent detee I have noticed the
Interchange of communications tn tha
public pulse columns relative to tha dis
pute as to whether the elty ahould engage
union muelclena In preference or rather
to the exclusion of the nonunlonlat.
I believe Mr. Finn has consumed con
siderable space In attempting t ehow the
rr.erlt of hla side f the controverey, not
only on this occasion, but on a former In
stance when an attempt was made to
unionise the postofflc band.
Mr. Finn appears to be somewhat
peeved, and no doubt uncomfortable,
about the action of the Ancient Order of
t'nlted Workmen band In making tha
el reel demonstration against the action
of the city commissioners. The writer la
not a member f the Anotent Order of
United Workmen band or lodge, but,
along with a great many ethers, certainly
la In sympathy with their action. The
city had no legal right whatever to bind
themeelvea to employ only union mu
sicians, and even If they .had the legal
right It waa a rank Injustice. Tha union
musleians are net one hit better than tha
nonunlonlat. Why are they any more en
titled to the distribution of the taxpay
er' money than anyone else? If they
will but pauee a moment to oonslder and
tr.qutr they will find out thet they have
brought upon themselves a great deal of
ridicule and condemnation from tha pub
lic. The trouble with a great many unions
la they want to carry a chip on their
shoulder all the time. They deny a non
unionist the right to follow up hla trade
without taking tha dictation of a walking
delegate. What they cannot accomplish
by merit they attempt by intimidation.
They refuse to work alongside a non
unionist, and mora than once have they
laid down their tools for that reason alone.
Taking organised labor ae a whole they
do not bear a vary high repute among
the general public. There haa been too
much underhanded work. The search
light of Inveetlgatlon has revealed con
siderable questionable tactics.
Th Ancient Order ef United Workman
band was perfectly right In tha stand
they took and they have a whole lot of
sympathy from tha general public. Tha
least Mr. Finn haa to say upon this sub
ject tha more ha will be thought of. Th
union musician doea not depend upon hla
musical talent alone for a livelihood any
more than tha other musicians, who can
didly admit th fact, although Mr. Finn
tried to make u believe otherwise In th
postofflo band controversy. Respect
fully. J. R. CROW.
(This will cloee the argument on the
union music question, aa both aides have
had their say, and ample apace to preeent
their views. Ed.).
Bahy'a sllsrht t live."
O'NEILL, Neb., Dec. lO.To th Editor
of Th Be: I not In your issue of
December 7 an article entitled "An In
fant Right to' Live' and signed by
P. J.-A Father.
I also am a father ef two ohlldren and
they ar as healthy apeclmene of human
ity aa can be found. I disagree, however,
with P. 3., ae I see n earthly ua in
allowing a hopeless cripple or an Imbecile
to live, aa they ar a burden to humanity
and to themselves.. P. J. i refers u th
casea of Helen Keller and Gordon. Helen
Keller I not a cripple nor an imbecile,
but la In full control of her rauaolea and
Intellect and therefore cannot be ueed as
a criterion. But In th case of Gordon,
he was not bom a cripple, a I have been
advised, and, while I do not know tha
gentleman, It la my firm conviction that
If he had his Ufa to live over again since
he had his unfortunat accident ha would
prefer a thousand timee to be dead. He
Is a man of remarkable characteristics,
and. In hla condition, while he abhors
sympathy for himself, ha has dona a
great deal for others who have found
misfortune.'
What we need I this day and aa ar
men and women and not cripples. W
want a robust humanity. Would we think
f mating cattle that ar not sound or
rale them if they were physically Im
perfect? No. Then why ahould we b
lax about our future generations?
This woman in Chicago did perfectly
right and I admire her for her good
sound Judgment. If w had more like

world would be a better and safer place

And yesterday wan like today, and, doubt
less, like tomorrow.
At seventeen minutes after six this morn
ing, to the minute,
A gnat waa born: It scented life; was
anxious to begin It.
"The good old day! Th good old days!"
'tie oinglng now, dot rot It!
The leaf born doesn't love a detk, so
cheerfully I swat It.
I would that of the good old day wise
gnats and men would shout less.
For yesterday was like today and Ilk
tomorrow, doubtless.
