The munitions manufacturers may have sel
fish motives, but how about Brother "Charley"
(keeping an eye to the main chance of the Bryan
peace propaganda?
From the present outlook, the president's
western tour is not to Include Omaha. If bo,
'we are sorry, but It will be as much the presi
dent's loss as ours.
Never mind! ' The real harmony delegation
that will represent this state In the Chicago
convention will be made up by the rank and
tile of republicans by direct vote In April.
With the door for primary election entries
open for nearly sixty days, no aspiring states
man of any political party in Nebraska can com
plain of lack of opportunity to get into the
game.
Villa a Scapegoat.
Beyond the pale of the law, condemned to
be hunted and shot as an animal, Pancho Villa's
picturesque snd bloody career seems drawing
to a violent close. It Is certain he will receive
no mercy from the Carranxlstas, snd that his
capture means speedy death for him. When
he has died, will all the record of Mexican out-
rsges, so patiently borne by this and other coun
tries, be wiped away?
Francisco Villa was a "patriot" a few
months ago, when he took up arms sgainst For
firlo Diss. By his dsrtng he rose to leadership.
and it was his army that opened the way for the
rebels to the City of Mexico, and led to Dial's
abdication and flight. He became our "friend"
when he rebelled against Huerta, and was
thanked for his "services to humanity." Then
he served with Venustlano Carranea, and was
high In the council that named the "first chief"
aa leader. Unspeakable crimes were then be
ing committed throughout Mexico by the "army
of liberation." Is Villa the only leader of that
army who is guilty? Did his final refusal to
follow Carranza make him responsible for all
the wrongdoing In Mexico? Will his death dis
charge the account and allow others to go free?
Villa is not to be admired in any sense, but
It Is not at all certain he will be generally ac
cepted as a scapegoat, or his death as fully
atoning for all Mexicans have to answer for.
And a mind even lightly inclined to be sus
picious of men's motives can not avoid recur
ring to the thought that "dead men tell no
tales." The Carranzlsta leaders wilt breathe
tiiuch easier when tbey know Pancho Villa Is
beyond talking.
Which Is to Blame !
Omaha again is called upon to realize the
benefit of having a senator at Washington to
look after matters of local Interest, the president
passing up the town In making out his western
Itinerary, just as did the federal reserve board.
The president also passes up the state, which
may put a portion of the blame on the late sec
retary of state. Beginning with Mr. Cleveland,
every president of the United States has found
Omaha a good place to visit, and from here all
have delivered their message to many thousands
of their fellow citizens.
Mr. Wilson, doubtless, realises the advan
tages possessed by Omaha as the center of so
cial and political life in the Missouri river re
gion, but he hesitates to venture his personal
program among the constituents of two eminent
democrats who have managed to so effectually
alienate the White House. The personal atti
tude of the gentlemen concerned is not of deep
public Interest, but It Is a matter of regret that
the state and the city should be Ignored on ac
count of either.
Ignorance of the War
Yes, but do other cities buy the same fire
hose any cheaper? To secure that Information
looks easy, but the fact Is the fire hose people
change the lsbel nearly every time they make
a bid.
Our democratic senator once endorsed our
present assistant postmaster as the man entitled
to have. the postofflce, but that waa when some
one else bad the giving of It. It's different now
when the senator can make his endorsement
good.
To the newly reformed or the recent convert

spurs indignation to the steaming point This
explains the amazing speed of a Denver court

pardonable crime of giving away the contents
of his bottle before entering the city. Besides,

discourtesy to the dry belt
Fifty-four bond issues of American corpora-
lions, mostly railroads, are officially approved
by the British government for buying or bor
row! eg, as the owners elect. Th quantity of
thee Issues obtainable will not be known for
some time, but the supply has been materially
decreased since the wsr began. It is known
that 1 1,600,000,800 of American securities held
abroad have been absorbed by this country in
the last twelve months.
The miracle wrought by a pardon in restor
ing the health of Charles W. Morse has few
equals la modern records. A similar source of
wonder is the readiness of speculative big busl
ness to sit in with Morse in playing the old
games. Just now the wool clippers of Wall
street are backing Morse In rigging up a new
hip combine, evidently confident that the deal
can be put over as smoothly as Morse slipped
out of the Atlanta penitentiary.
That Supremo Court Vacancy.
Washington gossip has it that the president
Is still casting around for a suitable choice to
fill the vacancy of the federal supreme) bench
created by the death of Justice Lamar, and that
the one thing settled is that the new judge must
come from the south. If these advices are to
be accepted, this conclusion is reached by a pro
cess of exclusion, the first decision being that
former President Taft, who has been quite gen
erally mentioned for the place, in fact urged by
Judge Parker, one-time democrats presidential
standard bearer, and other prominent demo
crats, will not be considered because be is a re
publican. It was all right for President Taft
to appoint two democrats to the supreme bench
and to promote a democrat to be chief justice,
but the appointment of a republican by a demo
cratic president is simply out of th question.
The next two names most generally sug
gested, those of Secretary of War Garrison and
Secretary of Interior Lane, are said to be doublj
barred by both being from northern states.
and also indispensable at the present time as
members of the cabinet. The most promising
aspirant, therefore, is Solicitor General John W.
Davis, who, we are told, "Is a southerner like
Justice Lamar," or some as yet unmentioned
southern Judge. It is conceded that Mr. Davis
is comparatively littlo known, and, if appointed,
could not participate in the hearing of the most
Important pending eases in which he has bees
representing the government, but he is a demo
crat and a southerner.
To sum np the situation, then, the next
Judge of th federal supreme court will meet
these tests: First, he will be a democrat; sec
ond, he will be a southerner; third, he will be
little known except in his own bailiwick. To
the extent this information goes, everything is
reassuring.
Xdterary Digest.
FROM th reeulta of teat put to th student of
aeveral Institutions, among which were Uowdoln.
Williams and New York unlveialty, a toacher of
history at the latter college stales In the New York
Tlmea that he believe the apparent indifference of
students toward the present war ia Indicative of a gen
eral tendency on th part of the public to neglect s
clone study of affaire in Kurop. Student may rcgaiJ
the task of keeping abreast of the multlfarlng newe of
today too much akin to a major elective. The Tlmea
print the Hat of queatlona with notea on the character
of anawer they elicited.
Th queatlona aaked by members of the faculty at
both New York university and Bowdoln college wer
aa follows:
"Where la Galllpoll?
"What la the capital of Bulgaria?
"Wbat countries bound Serbia?
"In what country la Balonlki? (In aplte f th fact
that this city haa been frequently mentioned In the
dally papers during the laat two weeks, forty-two out
of fifty-three atudent at Bowdoln failed to give the
correct answer, and results wer similar at New York
University. It waa frequently located in Poland.)
"On what ea I Montenegro? (About halt of th
students taking th teat anawered this correctly,
others gave nearly every aea in Europe and eaatern
Asia.)
"Who is In command of the French army?
"Who la the prim minister of England? (Winston
Churchill waa a popular choice.)
"Who Is Bethmann-HoIIwcg?
"Who ia Polncar? (On student anawered that he
waa a French artlat.)
"Who la Venlzlos? (This waa th question that per
plexed mor students both at New York university
and Bowdoln than any other some said that ha waa
a French general; others that he Waa a Mexican
rebel.)
"Who is Brland? (Only eleven correct answers
wer given at Bowdoln.)
"Who ia von Hlndenburg?
"Who Is General French? (One atudent at Notv
York univeralty replied that he was the English gen
eral.) "Who Is Sir Edward Orey?
"Who is Vlvanl? (Thla queatlon also baffled stu
dents, and at Bowdoln there were only four correct
answers although many designated his as an 'Italian)
"Name, with th proper title, the ruler of Ger
many? "Nam th ruler of Greece. (Only twenty-three out
of a class of fifty-three Bowdoln students could nam
this Important ruler, and results wer about th same
at New York university.)
"Nam the ruler of Turkey.' (This also received
several surprising answers.)
"Name the ruler of Italy. (One student said that
ha was Victor Emmanuel XXIX.)
"Nam th ruler of Bulgaria. (One answer gave
him as King Augustus.)
"Nam th ruler of Russia."
Th Williams result not Included In the above Is
rather better. At least twenty out of twenty-three
knew who commands th French armies. Bowdoln
and New York struggled with him ss "Joffree." "Jof
fery" "Geoffrey" "Jeoffrey." Th general result at
New York is this:
"None answered all th inquiries correctly, whil
only three obtained a grade above M per cent. Of a
class of twenty-three freshmen nine failed, while th
average rank was 63 per cent. Another class of th
same number of freshmen averaged only 52 per cent
and thirteen failed to paas, while a class made up of
upper-classmen did as poorly and averaged a grade
of only 61 per cent."
"The Ignorance of the generality of young men at
college, says Th Times editorially, "Is charmingly in
credible.". It proceed thus light-heartedly:
'They have studied and read few hooka History,
outside of a compendium of American and perhaps
Greek and Roman history, stuffed with dates un

of them, the main advantage of the college mental
training, th art of knowing how to know. Bom scheme

are beginning to get. They will learn, too the young
gentlemen of New Brunswick and New York haven't

It takes time, except in th case of brilliant minds, to

Nebraska Volunteer Firemen.
A lively convention just adjourneu at Craw
ford is a reminder that the larger part of the
urban property in Nebraska is protected from
destruction by volunteer firemen. These men
form a most important group In the social or
ganisation of the state. Wherever organised
municipal government ex'sts, th fireman is a
necessity, and In th smaller towns hia service
is performed by volunteers, coming from the
people, and giving time and money to the work.
It is not often they are called upon to achieve
the deeds of daring that tall to the lot of their
city brethren, but when duty demands, the vol
unteer is there to perform, and he never fails
to acquit himself with credit. It ta th sens
of mutual dependence that brings these men
together, and that has through them wrought
many achievements that would be notable, even
In the annals of professional fire fighters. Well
trained, willing and efficient, the volunteer tire
men deserve and are worthy of all the privileges
the state has granted them.
If Unci Sam can get away from th claims
for damage arising out of th Soath Omaha
anti-Greek riots by footing bills amounting to
140,000. he may b driving tolerably good
bargain. H takes a chance, however, of act
ting an oxampU that may encourage similar
demand every time aa allea residing in this
country suffers damages as a result of lawless
ness. If claims like this could be adjudicated
it would b better all around.

A novelist recently found himself In a train with
two talkatlv women. Having recognised him front
his published portraits, they opened fir upon him In
regard to his novels, praising them in a manner which
was unendurable to the sensitive author.
Preaentty th train entered a tunnel and In th
darknesa th novelist raised th back of hia hand to
his lips and kisaed it soundly. When light returned
he found th two women regarding each other In icy
silence.
Addressing them with great suavity, he said:
"Ah, ladles, th on regret of my life will be that
I shall never know which of you it waa that kissed
me!"

rilEIOHTON. Neb,. Jan. Is. To th
Editor of The Bee: Perhaps the man waa
wine bevond hia day and generation, who
aald there shall be ware and rumors of
wsrs, but he wesn't far sighted enough
to tell u the why or the wherefore. To
queatlon prophecy of snclent times ts
not the purport or question of this let
ter, but it Is a weak attempt to assist in
finding a solution for vexing present day
problems that will place a quletua on
war, murder and strife so plainly visibl
on the great horoscope of the age we
live in.
The peaceful purault of life and happi
ness In agriculture, commercai ana in
dustrial fields sr almost entirely Ignored
or forgotten wltn ine an aDeoroing
theme of war and why? We are educat
ing our young men on the nobility of
war and aelf defenae by brute fore in
arloua ways. In the poatofflces through
out the land advertiaementa are posted
depicting actual views In naval life on
board dreadnaught. Thia poster por
trays interesting scenes in firing large
guns for practice, seettng forth advant
ages in travel, seeing the world and th
trained man's 'chances for permanent
employment are said to be sur and
certain. Athletics are also encouraged
in base ball, foot ball and kindred sports.
The pay is aald to be excellent and ad
vancement assured to men who becom
proficient enlistment carrying privilege
of retirement with pay, and no slack
time of ration or pay.
Beautiful Indeed is such a picture, but
Its real meaning Is death "and destruc
tion on life and property in defending
our homes, peace and dignity and who
counting the cost? Lt's forget it
Let us direct our attention to a spirit
of helpfulness to the other fellow.
There ar many fields open to render
assistance in stopping the war by divert
ing the human mind in an opposite di
rection and the Joy of such service re
ceives merited reward.
Perhaps there is no better field open
than that of titling th soil. Th develop
ment of the great state of Nebraska in
the last fifty years offers abundant
proof for this statement Land advanc
ing In price from 11.36 per acre to $250,

her cackle of prosperity as valuable
assots in making homes of a nation

Perhaps such a condition would help
stamp out a spirit of militarism ana
assist in promulgating peace that pas-
seth all understanding and place the
bloody gods of war In eternal shame
with the theory of beating the sword
Into plowshares becoming an actual fact

lack of fresh air. W venture to say
that the building had not been ventll
ated or opened sine the sever weather
set In. The air Monday night was so
thick and bad that many were drowsy
and almost faltlng. and we hear that
some of tho foremost patrons of art,

case. No matter how much money and
attention th husband give the wife, ah
will not love him, for love cannot be

and will do all she can not to have any.
It la of auch a marruvg that th ma
