There is no worthier charity than The Bee's
free milk and ice fund to relieve hot-wtather
babiet. A small-sized contribution will do
huge amount of good.
. The crude oil output for the last six months
is more than half the total production of 1915.
A reduction is predicted ai a result, but the well
owners resent the suggestion.
To Insure a reasonable degree of equality in

A call to patrol our northern border would

Speaking of the senator's handing Charley
Fanning the highest paid federal job in Nebraska,
the Lincoln Star says: "If the appointment suits
Omaha nobody else has any kick coming." But
why the "if?"
Over $3,000,000 has been disbursed among
war victims by the Rockefeller fund. The fact
that tome of the money succors afflicted human
ity tends to brighten the elevated figures .on the
tasotbra scoreboard.
According to the last census there are 20,.
000,000 males eligible for military service in the
United States, ; If Mexicana were afforded an
opportunity to comprehend these figures it it
certain the leaders could not check a stampede
for safety.' .
Holding county and state conventions three
months after all the candidates are nominated is
almost the height of absurdity." If these meet
ings were held before the primaries as they should
be, there would be no candidates feeling them-
selves called upon to usurp the whole party ma'
chinery. :' ' " ' '
Coming Into Harvest Time.
Word comes from the wheat fields of Ne
braska that harvest is under way. Conditions are
far more encouraging than last year, when the
fields were so wet that harvesters could not work.
While no sure statement of the yield may yet be
made, the indications are that it will be above the
normal for Nebraska, some investigators saying
the crop will be the finest ever harvested in the
state. While the total acreage planted to winter
wheat in the state is somewhat below that of last
year, it is not so greatly reduced as in other wheat
growing sections, which means that' Nebraska
will hold its position of , importance as a wheat
producer, and that its farmers will share in the
prices that must be paid for the grain during the
next year. The crop of the entire country wilt
be about 300,000,000 bushels less than in 1915,
while the Nebraska yield will equal if it does not
exceed the figures for that year. This spells
prosperity for the farmers here.
High Cost of Printing
These are parlous times for the . newspapers
likewise. The one-centers have had to become
two-centers and tome of the two-centers are med
hating three; and the end ia not yet . The world
war may have helped tome callings. But it haa
been The-Devil-and-Tom-Walker to the press
equally of Europe and America. Here comet
the Atlanta Journal that once got to be" to
cheao that it looked at if itt next move would
be to make a present of ittelf to each tubtcriber
along with a hard-boiled egg and a chromo. It
becomes a two-center. And the Tennesseean
of Nashville, rolling in luxury and wealth, hear
itt plaint We quote from a recent circular issued
lo its reaacra
The enormous increase in cott of mate
rials used in the manufacture of a newspaper
brings about the necessity for the above change
in price, and that our readera may properly
understand, a few items are given below:
The tremendous increaae in pricet of white
paper will force the Tennesseean and American
to pay out over $15,000 more the coming
year than previously, and this it only one item.
Ink, metals, chemicals, oil, stereotype paper,
etc, have all increased in price from 25 to 500
per cent which makes it impossible for newt
paper publithert to longer print large papers,
as does the Tennesseean and American, and
deliver them at the old rate.
So acute hat the paper and metal market.
uccumc on aciuunc ui extraordinary oemanas
that it has not been a question of price, but
one or oemg ame to Buy paper, metal, tome
chemicals and colored inks at anv one. Sev
eral newspapers have been embarrassed during
the last few months by not even being able to
secure tnesc articles at any cott
We trust our subscribers will appreciate
the nccettity for the change in rates and that
we may always be favored with their natron-
age, and one and all may be attured of a better
and bigger Tennesseean and American at a

No Lack of Willing Defenders.
The delay in building up the fighting units of
the United States army and the National Guard
to war ttrength it not chargeable to an unwill
ingness on the part of men to proffer their serv
ices. Uncle Sam it mighty particular about the
material he putt into hit uniform, and for the
pretent he is taking only the very best. Informa
tion given out by the War department is to the
effect that in the first hundred dayt following the
Columbus affair 60,000 men tought enlistment,
and only 13,500 were accepted, or a little less
t.p. rv nut tf five. This is encouraging for
two reasont. It thowt that American men are
yet tvitmig to enter the military service of the
government when needed for defense, and that
those who are taken wilt be associated with a
carefully picked lot of magnificent manhood. The
standard of Americanism doesn't appear to be
drooping to much at tome have feared. ,
i What Did They Expect?
Jacktonian democrats are in a pitiful funk
because of the appointment of Colonel Fanning
to the postoffice. What elte did these eminent
representatives of kid-gloved democracy look for?
It not the tenator a candidate for re-election,
and doesn't he need the votes of the bunch con
trolled by the nominee for the bett paid political
job In Nebraska? It it but balancing the rela
tive importance of the Jimt and the Jacks, and
the turn is in favor of the Jimt when it comet
to the bslot box count. The senator thinks he
knowt what he It doing. The Jacks will vote
for him anyhow; if they do not there are not
enough of them to make much difference, while
the Jimt require to be fed to be kept docile. And
the tenator ture doet need the votet. Therefore
the rejoicing of 'the Dahlmanites will completely
obfuscate any objection the futile Jacksoniant
may raise.
The Curse of Money." ,
Andrew Carnegie discoursei on this text in the
Botton Transcript with a wealth of illustration
and experience at befits an authority on the sub
ject. Hit homilies are at old at mankind, but
lose none of their force by repetition. The text
of the preachment must not be taken literally.
There are exceptions at might be expected from
the plethoric condition of the author. In hit
opinion money it a curse when inherited and idly
spent; a blessing when acquired by energy and
ability and put to good uses. Mr. Carnegie's
career evidently it regarded as typical of the
modern money maker. He doet not lay it in
at many words, but it embraces the struggles of
the boy, theenergy and application of the young
in, tne quicxcnea torcsignt ot tne grown-up,
and a ceaseless vigilance for opportunity'! call.
Very few if any ambitiout men will again get the
flicker of a chance to untoad on a tteel trust at
three prices," but the opportunities for acquiring
a competence and rendering worthy service are
now more numerous than when Andrew Carnegie

Another Result of the War.
When the European war wat commenced, al
most two yean ago, tome apprehention existed
in this country at to how the United Statet would
take care of the tremendout amount of American
tecuritlet that would be lent home for redemp
tion. The New York Stock exchange waa closed
for several months, that speculative operations
might not be charged with bringing on the panic
that teemed unavoidable. Time has shown how
unfounded all this fear realty was. European
holders of American tecuritiei have evinced lit
tle inclination to let go of the beat stockt and
bonds in the world, and the economic pressure to
far hat not been tuch at to warrant any extensive
liquidation. 1 t .
At the beginning of the closing month of the
second year of the war, American tecurities,
whether held at home or abroad, are in better
situation than they were during the uncertainty
prevailing for weeks before and after the con
flict Thit it due, for the mott part to the re
storation of confidence, following the certainty
that the United Statet would not be forced from
itt potition of neutrality. Other factora, develop
ing with the progress of the European situation,
have contributed to the ttabilization of the Amerl
can market for tecuritiei, one of them being the
plethora of money available for investment
A noteworthy feature is that the greater part of
the $1,750,000,000 of American aecurities estimated
to have been tent over for redemption hat been
assimilated by the life insurance companies.
which have thus been enabled to atrengthen their
reserve holdingi by converting idle cash into in
come-producing securities of approved issues. The
evil wind that hat blasted Europe for two yean
bat blown something of good to Americans. -
. Curiout situations frequently develop in the
world war. The Anb revolt against Turkey
within the shadows of the holy city of Mecca
rivals in startling changes the struggles of fight'
ing armiet in the historic Garden of Eden.
Equally novel it the experience of the 'Dutch
commander of South African troops held UP by
a force of African lioni white advancing Into
German Eatt Africa.' Effective artillery fire alone
saved the British lion from yielding itt hide7 to
the monarch of the jungle - :
As the days go by, strict and impartial neu
trality takes deeper root in the warleit nations
of North Europe. .Sweden, Norway, Denmark and
Holland no lonsfer fear being drawn into the

Time to Rettra Wllsoa.
Oxford. Neb.. July 1. To the Editor of
The Bee. In a letter to The Bee Charles
W cotter brines clear, concise charges
against the Wilton administration in itt
treatment ot Mexico. He aayt that regard
less of bow good President Wilson's inten
tions mar nave been, that his Mexican
poller has been wholly and absolutely wrong.
Mr. Wooster cannot be charged with polit
ical bias In reaching bit conclusions and be
produces many y cold facts to sustain bis
charges.
President Wilton has no cause for com
plaint of the splendid support ho hat re
ceived regardless of party. The republican
press hat indeed been mild In Itt criticisms
up to the opening of the present campaign
for the election of a new president. On the
other hand. President Wilson hat been a
partisan -from the start i he forgot that he
i president of ail the people and used hit
high office to advertise to the world that the
republican party bad been an imbicile, for
thirty years. The republican party has
accepted the Issue, they have nominated
their standard bearer and will let the people
judge of their sanity and administrative
ability In the coning election. President
Wilton, prior to hit election, in the choicest
language, embellished the democratic plat
form. It did not represent molasses to catch
Hies. Ob, no I It was a sacred promise
to be Jealously kept to the people, and yet
in office, with his party completely in con
trol and completely subjugated to his com
mands he has smashed plank after plank
with less regard than one eould have for
a discarded fly trap. Only the single term
plank remains and his sledge It raised to
break it into smithereens, the great demo
cratic party that has fostered all the Ideas
for the last thirty years, has been com
manded to tit quiet, enrapt in their ideas,
while President Wilson writes a new fly trap
platform, appoints the temporary chairman,
the permanent chairman of the convention
and then names the nominee for president
and also for vice president.
This may not harmonise with the peo
ple's rule slogan, but then it It typical
of schoolmaster rule. Whatever may be
said of former republican ideas they seem
firmly grounded in the present idea - that
at least the one-term plank in the demo
cratic platform should not at present be
broken and all loyal republicans from
Maine to California have pledged their sup
port to help the democrats rescue that
plank from destruction. Mr. Wooster's let
ter show that the democrats are beginning
to appreciate the republicans kind of assist
ance and many of them will be found
standing with the republicans in the com
ing election.

Omaha, July 1. To .the Editor of The
Bee. It it difficult for one to comprehend
how Vice President Marshall could possibly
be a greater calamity to' America as an
emergency president, in the unlooked-for
vent of Wilson's demise. I'll bet you that
were Marshall president but for those few
months the nation would be most wonder
fully benefitted in that the country, even
headless, can far better solve her own prob
lems than be bossed by a man wbo seems
not only to be a president little, qualified
for the job but also, at any one can see.

If the cabinet had any power to move on

THE JOLLY OLD PEDAGOGUE. .
George Arnold.
'Twat a Jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
His form was bent, and hit gait wat slow.
His long, thin hair was as white as snow.
But a wonderful twinkle shone In bis eye:
And he sang every night as he went to bed.
"Let US be nappy aown acre oeigw.
The living should live, though the dead be
dead,"
Bald the jolly old pedagotue, long ago.
He taught hie icholan the rule of three.
Wrltlna. and reading, and history, too;
He took th little ones up on hit knee,
For a kind old heart In hit breast had he.
And the wants or me imietc emm ne
knew;
"Learn while you're young," be often taid.
"There it much to enjoy down here below:
Life for the living and rest for the dead''
Said the Jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
With the stupidest boy ho waa kind and cool.
Speaking only In gentlest tones;
The rod wat hardly known In hit school
Whipping, to him, was a barbarous rule,
And too hard work for hit poor old bones;
Betides, It was painful, be sometimes said:
"We should make life pleaaant. down
here below! 1
The living need charity more than the dead."
Said the Jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He lived in the house by the hawthorne lane,
With rotes and woodbine over the door;
Hit rooms were quiet and neat and plain,
But a spirit of comfort there held reign,
And made him forget he was old and
poor;
"I need to little." he often taid;
"And my friends and relatives here below
Won't litigate over me when I am dead,"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He tat at hit door, one midsummer night,
After the sun had sunk In the west.
And the lingering beams of golden light
Made his kindly old face look warm and
bright,
While the odorous nlght-wtnd whvpered
"Rett!"
Gently, gently, he bowed his head.
There were angelt waiting for bim, I

He wat sure of happiness, living or dead.

Cortland, Neb., July 1. To the Editor of
The Bee.- We have our democratic papers
of today attacking all not English born or
not English-feeling citixens as hyphen
ates. While there is not a bigger hypenate
for King George than our professor of Eng- ,
lish history, Woodrow Wilson. I will give .
you a little proof: Recently aa order went
forth to dismiss all foreign-born eltliens :
from mine layers, mostly Scandinavians,
while Wilson bas still two of King George's
born subjects In his cabinet I wonder where
It the mott chance for mischief to be done,
on mine layer or In our presidential cab
inet. I wonder if Wilson and Roosevelt will
go to the front now and show us how to
fight and hope tbey don't want the Gormen
element to do It all and then criticise them
because they have only one life to lose.
What were our boys armed with if they did ,
not have a machine gun, lei alone to under- 1
stand how to handle one? Are we so poor?
Let ut at least furnish them material to
fight with and let us tee that it it of good
quality, too. And If we get into war, let
ua look upon It as what It Is, God's punish- (
ment for our wrongs, for it won't be a Joke '
If our little neighbor across the Pacific were I
really In with the Mexicans.
