A Milestone for The Be. The Bee today is forty-five years old and, in making another milestone, we feel that we have a right to "point with pride" to the record of progress and achievement For a wonder-story nothing excels the founding' of The Bee and its growth from small beginnings in a little frontier town to a leading position in the journalism of a great metropolitan city, but that itpry has been often told. From the outset, The Bee has been a tireless worker for the upbuilding of city, state and nation and the improvement of the social, material and political welfare of the people, and lias had a forward policy which if has steadfastly pursued and will continue to pursue. By comparison, a forty-fifth anniversary is perhaps not a special red letter event in a news- oauer's career, but it surely Justifies tnti mucn ot personal reference and self-congratulation. Btop Tonr Taking- " Our amiable democratic contemporary, the World-Herald, seems eager to regain its old preotige as a fake factory. It prints in its con tribtors' column a letter dated Omaha over the name "E. G. Berry," which, among other things, says: 1 : "I have always voted the republican ticket ana m still a republican, but like a great many other republicans whom I know, I shall vote for Woodrow Wilson this fall" . Now, we challenge this as a fake, pure and simple. We make bold to assert that whoever wrote that letter is not a republican and that he cannot name three republicans, much less "a great many other Republicans," who are going to vote for Woodrow Wilson this fall for any of the rea sons he states. We want it known that no such person as "E. G. Berry of Omaha" is listed in the Omaha city directory, nor Is any person regis tered by that name in the office of the election commissioner for the city of Omaha. We venture to say that the "Berry" who -pretends to be a re publican going to vote for Wilson is merely an imaginary "hucklcbernr masking one ot . tne World-Herald fakers trying to put one over with out being called. ""'"V ' ; A Divided Ireland. A divided Ireland under home rule foreshadows the outcome of the negotiations undertaken by David Lloyd George to effect temporary settle ment of the Irish question. : Such is the substance of reports submitted by nationalists and Ulster members to their constituents, and tentatively accepted as a war emergency compromise. In general outlines the plan adheres to the term of the home rule , bill passed September . 14, 1914, and suspended from operation until the end of the war. Six Ulster counties, Including the cities of Belfast and Londonderry, are excluded from the present home rule plan, as they were in the suspended act end will be governed by a local council under Imperial laws. The rest of Ireland will be governed by a parliament sitting in Dub lin. -Irish representation in the imperial parlia ment will not be changed at present, obviating an election which all parties dislike In the stress of war. These terms are regarded the moot feasible and practical means of ending military rule and disposing of castle government wrecked in the April rebellion, A significant feature of. the pro posed compromise is the expectation that an im perial federation of the British, empire will rise out of the wreckage, which will . inaugurate home rule in all divisions of the' United Kingdom and -Ireland and unite in direct representative govern ment the various links of solidarity forged in the battlefields of Europe. i . ' The Taint for Knowledge. The presence of commencement time, when thousands of young folks (re being reminded of the end of one and the beginning of another stage of their career, serves to emphasise man's insati able desire to know things. No impulse of life is stronger than this, none other has such a com plete mastery over man as his inquisitiveness. It has been the spur that has driven him on from one discovery to another, from new invention to greater triumph, and lifted him from the sodden bestiality of mere animal existence to the plane of intellectual importance on which be now moves. Investigators are continually pushing into the mists that surround the great secret man fain would attain. Education consists in preparation for this great work. The training of the mind follows the record of human experience, the ad ventures of the pioneers being an incentive to those who are coming on to make similar en deavors. Possession of knowledge is the most priceless, of boons. We have no hope that man will ever exhaust the range of things to learn, but this itself is the best encouragement to keep on striving. The boys and girls now coming from school will add to the sum of intelligent citizenship, and help to set the general standard higher. It is the destiny of the race that it ad vance, and the thirst for knowledge, born in the Garden of Eden, will never be quenched by mor tal means. ' , , - I Downfall of the Champion Promotion Crook. Tht recent conviction of Dr. John Grant Lyman fn the federal court of New York for using the mail to defraud, removes from promo tion circles the smoothest, moot versatile and nerviest crook in the annals of American crook dom. Beside him the Wallingford of otage fic tion is a piker. A product of rural New York and a medic by education, Lyman at the outset of life forsook all the avenues of honest endeavor and proceeded to apply his skill in separating fools from their money. His success is measured by $2,000,000 gathered in and spent in twenty years.- Various promotion schemes were tried, but none proved as lucrative as bogus gold mines, With these time-worn appeal to human cupidity Lyman trimmed the sucker family from New York to California, from Toronto to London, and slipped through several legal toils and trials with amazing audacity and affected respectability. Even In Wall street he bulked large' and important on two separate occasions, while Wall street sleuths were seeking him, and lived for months at the same hotel with the chief of detectives. Giant like in physique, soft spoken and fluent in con versation, . always well dressed to suit occasion, Lyman invariably disarmed suspicionand might .have remained, a minor pillar of Wall street had he kept faith with a woman of shsdy reputation. The woman scorned proved his undoing, . . The first vessel of the Swits merchant marine recently tailed from New York, flying the nation al Sag. The extraordinary lituation of Switzer land, surrounded by war and the usual highway blocked, rendered the step necessary to obtain essential supplies. France made it possible by loaning the Swiss a small port on the Gulf of Lyon. v ,'. Things to Be ThankfulFor There ii one feature of the oolitical situation. and a commanding one, that all can rejoice m as the people of the United States enter upon the presidential campaign of 1916. The hatreds and the bitter differences which came out of the re nnhliran contest of four vears aEO must oass into the background. An ugly chapter of party history is to bt closed, mere can oe no repetition tnia year of the battle which followed the refusal of the republican party in 1912 to endorse ex-President Roosevelt s repudiation of the man he had picked to succeed him in the White Houoe. We ohall hear no vociferous assertion that thieves, burglars, criminals generally, and crooks with a steam roller, have robbed Mr. Roosevelt of the nomination this time. The strenuous contention of four years, ago seems like a chapter of bedlam in the retrospect It failed then to command the sympathetic re spect of impartial witnesses who were able to compare the proceedings in the republican con vention of 1912 with the doings of previous na tional conventions of which Mr. Roosevelt wholly approved. That which had seemed right and in order when Roosevelt was the beneficiary became disorder and wrong when Taft was to gain by it. Men in politics are but children of a larger growth, and angry children lose their perspective and employ intemperate language. Excellent men and women unversed in politics accepted at face value shrill and bitter denunciations long con tinued. Thev rooked on Colonel Roosevelt as an angel of light and came to regard President Taft as in league with all the forces of evil in Ameri can politics. Men of emotional temperament reveled .in such attack and imagined themselves filled with light. Happily that period of obscured understanding is to pats, arid good tense must have its place this year. It is erood to see that no voice is now raised in any quarter to impeach the righteousness of the Hughes nomination. None can be outside of an insane asylum. Every body agrees that the convention which nominated this year's repub lican candidate was controlled by the delegates, that the demand for the nomination which was made came from the people of all sections of the country, that the delegates as a wnoie stood tneir ground and worked their will despite the favorite sons and the desires of once powerful leaders. More than this, the Hughes tide, that rose from the mass of republicans, submerged the organized and amply financed Roosevelt movement until the man who sought the nomination in two con ventions was overwhelmed by those who were for the man who did not want it and who did every thing in hit power to keep it away. Here we have a remarkable political spectacle, and a very re assuring one. , '.-.-'v' - !'';..' The American oeoole are not to be stamoeded this year. This has been demonstrated in the midst of the mighty world disturbance calculated to upset the nerves ot our people, and to make them responsive to the sort of appeal that was made in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt as the only possible savior for this nation. Not all of us have realized how much of a test of the national tem per wat involved in the contest which culminated in the action of the Chicago' convention. The United Statet it not ready to be rushed into the fray, though we all see, as we have seen all atong, the possibility that this country may be drawn into some chase of it. It has been decreed that whatever the issue of the November election may be this country is to have careful. leadership. The shouting; and the din of appeal and denunciation had their run and died down, and the result is to show that the type of president desired this year is expressed in Charles E. Hughes and Woodrow Wilson. The country was besought to express itself in terms of Roosevelt, and it re- It is fair to draw from this result the deduc tion that the people desire to see our nation kent sane in this period of amazing international tur moil. Somewhere there must be a measure of re straint, coupled with a helpful purpose toward those who are in the midst of bloody contention and infinite distress. One of the two men is to be elected after a campaign that will be keyed icaa tu nyitcna man to reason. I ne result in Chicago has determined the character of the campaign, and that for good.. It is to be a decent political contest, one more of argument than of mere denunciation, such as leaves room for the Elav of thought and good seme. For this every ody who loves his country has reason to be grateful. It opens the way to the manner of campaigning that befits the seriousness of the times. . Twice Told Tales ' Both Had Job.

Mm About Road Bonds. Omaha, June 18. To tbo Editor of Th Bt: In Th B'i LctUr Box about a month ffo wa published trader the caption of "Thoae Road Paving Bonda" a very interest ln letter from C. E. Walsh. , Reference wu made to the recent election, when the propo sition to issue bonds in the sum of 11.500, 000 was carried by a majority of but 1B in the 36.817 votes east on the proposition according to the county official notice, duly published. Mi. Walsh cited the county at torney's opinion that a majority of the votes cast la sufficient, although a common Im pression Is that a two-thirds vote, Is neces sary to carry a bond proposition. He also lamented the custom of all voter being eligible for bond elections and suggests means of relief. In The Bee's Letter Box on Juno 12, C. L. Nethaway of Florence, writing under the heading of "Good Roads Bonds," regret that the Real Estate exchange Intends to contest tbo Issuing of the bonds, and sug gests that instead a committee be appointed (presumably by the Real Estate exchange) to watch the county board lest it combine with the paving contractors for Inferior con struction, and he appear content that tho fear of Injunction will Insure "the good roads which the people have voted for and are entitled to." It Is the hope of many good eitlsens that the movement by the Real Estate exchange to stop the issuing ot the bonds will be suc cessful. This bond scheme, which at the outset had only the half-hearted support of many organisations and improvement clubc, was on the eve of election repudiated by the most of them, who reversed their position and openly opposed the bonds. This action, accounts in a measure for the unusually small vet for the bonds, it being 80 J-6 (.808) per cent, or a gain of but one In eighty-four votes. The Real Estate exchange will probably contend that the bond proposition was not carried as it had not a majority of tho votes polled at the election, there having been more not voting on the proposition than the majority voting for It, There I a general belief that all eitlsens are entitled to vote on any question and that there shall be no restrictions to property. In come or education, and there Is as well among a great many the conviction that it 1 a wise provision which makes a two-thirds vote necessary to carry a bond proposition. If tho law Is that bond propositions to carry require but a majority of either all . votes of the election or votes on the propo sition. It would seem that an election Is Idle, for what eeheme to spend money would not carry on that basts In Douglas county, with It largo preponderance of non-tax-paylog voter ? Tho caroles Ignorance of most voters Is clearly proven by this bond election and should the Issue be stopped and tho proposi tion submitted again, It is to be hoped that the press and our political leaders will do their plain duty to the people by Instructing the voters on the question. There I a disposition amongst taxpayer that we have good road everywhere and splendid roads on ths main thoroughfares but there Is along with n the wish that we have them at the minimum of cost, and, a well, a distrust that the recent bond proposi tion would not Insure those conditions, nor would the assistance of Mr. Nethaway' committee bring them. Whether or not this bond proposition was a mistake is not ques tioned In this communication. The present need Is to stop the Issue of the bonds and the warrant for such protest Is that the true will of the people wss not expressed in the election. T. B. E. The Unidentified Donot. Omaha, June 17. -To the Editor of Tho Bee t Among the pages of paid advertising In tho 1918 annual of Commerce, the pub lication of the High School of Commerce, there is in one page, paid for by some busi ness man, "blank save the Words, "Best Re gards From a Friend." That may mean very little to those who. are not acquainted with the adverse attitude of the Retail Merchants' association .toward advertising in school pub locations; but to those who are acquainted with It, it mesne much. , Few people realize the amount of thank less work necessary to solicit enough adver tising to practically finance a monthly pub Hcatlon, even though It I "school work.' The Board of Education, although encour aging to a certain extent the Issuing of a monthly paper representative of the school, its activities and it students, does not, un less a change in rules ha been made very recently, subscribe any money for the work. The few students elected to the business department of the paper are required to go out and meet business menv.of experience, convince them of the merits of their paper (and there are merits, such as returns from advertising, though perhaps not quite o good as from other mans of advertising a the business man knows) and "get an ad." The average business man, so engrossed In "financial matching for gain," can see noth ing but the "returns" side of the proposi tion. (I do not want to be thought of as saying that advertising returns in a school paper are of a high per cent, but there art returns, big returns for some classes of ad" vertisers.) Yet these few students most meet the great opposition of experience and a certain amount of prejudice to the extent of getting on an average of $76 to 9100 a month In advertising to cover the costs of printing, etc, alone. That Is why I say that this lltU Incident mean much. - It shows that somewhere In Omaha Is a '.man who is a little broader minded, a little kinder hearted than a num ber of business mcnt It means that there Is one man In business who can see the human side of life to the extent of donating about 98 to, a cause meriting hi little sacrifice. Without the faintest idea as to the iden tity of the gentleman who so kindly donated the blank ad and asked not even the credit of his name let me call attention to his little act. MELVERN L.
