Fighting proceeds with ceaseless vigor all

Roosevelt was president, to find s "Help Wanted"

The tragedy of ' Verdun, laid waste by 48,000
sheila, differs in degree only from hundreds of
villages, towns and cities caught between the
lines of warring armies. Verdun got the major
bare of shot and shell, yet the desolation wrought
is trifling beside the useless sacrifice of life in
' the vicinity. It is a dead city surrounded by dead.
Democratic Extravagance
The long session of the Sixty-fourth congress
will have appropriated $1,700,000,000 before ad
journment. J his is nearly half a billion more than
was appropriated th last year of the civil war.
The exact figures for 1865 were $1,295,099,289.5$.
These lavish expenditures are not due altogether
to preparedness, as the democrats would fain have
us believe. Senator Curtis in a recent senate de
bate showed that the 1917 increase over 1916 will
' be $515,446,670.62. - The total inereasea for pre
paredness will not exceed $J90,000,000. . This in
cludes the $20,000,000 for an armor plant and $20,
000,00 for a nitrate plant This leaves an increase
of over $125,000,000 aside from any item that might
be called a part of the preparedness program. .
This seems extravagant enough, but the com
parison is with a democratic congress. When the
comparison is made with the "recent republican
congresses"' the Baltimore platform condemned
for "porfligate waste," it is worse still. At the
close of the Sixty-third congress appropriations
had been made to the amount of $2,281,000,000 for
the biennium, This was $177,000,000 more than
was appropriated by the last republican congress.
If the snort session of the present congress should
eoual the record of the long session, and it mar
exceed it, the total appropriations will reach $3,-
4UU,uuu,uuu, or nearly a billion and a half mors
than those of the last republican congress.
' There are increases for every single depart,
nnftit, except pensions. The death angel has per
mitted some reductions in pensions. There have
been 50,000 offices created, at an annual cost of
$40,000,000. In the light of such performances, it
. is interesting to reread the Baltimore economy
plank: "We denounce the profligate waste of the
money wrung from the people by oppressive taxa
tion through the lavish appropriations of recent
republican congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of the people's
toil. We demand i return to that simplicity and
economy which befits a democratic government
and a reduction in the number of useless offices,
the salaries of which drain the substance of the
people. -- " : .'i- ..-
THINGS HUGHES WOULD NOT HAVE
DONE. ' ' .
Championing the democratic appeal for reten
tion in power, one of the ardent newspaper ad
vocates of Wilson makes this statement:
The campaign seems to bid fair to be
waged on what the Wilson administration
has done rather than upon what the Hughes
administration would do. Hughes has made
it clear that he would have done nothing that
Wilson has done. j
Under stress of partisan enthusiasm, this is
not correctly put. The record of the democratic
party is properly subject to attack, even though
Wilson as president has inevitably done things
which any president in his place would likewise
have done. Hughes has not said that he would
have done nothing that Wilson has done, but he
has made it clear that Wilson has done a lot of
things he would not do.
Hughes would not, as Wilson has done, prom
ise to uphold and protect the rights of American
citizens everywhere and then wantonly sacrifice
them with, at best, warning that they are in for
eign lands or on the seas at their own risk.
Hnghes would not, as Wilson has done, pro
claim a polw of nonintervention in Mexico while
actively infvening to help one blood-steeped
faction win over another no more bloody.
Hughes would not, as Wilson has done, fritter
away two years of valuable time, with Europe
aflame with war, pooh poohing preparedness as
wholly unnecessary and then suddenly embrace,
a' preparedness program contradicting all his
former professions.
Hughes would not, as Wilson has done, force
on the statute books a tariff in utter disregard of
American labor and industry under pretense of
reducing the high cost of living, and then, when
it failed to produce the needed revenue, or to
reduce the cost of living, resort to war taxes in
time of peace. : '
Hughes would not, as Wilson has done, help
any combination of interests to club congress Into
enacting a law under time limit without investi
gation or information.!
Hughes would not, as Wilson has done, pledge
himself to canal tolls exemption and then go to
congress in person to have the exemption law
repealed.' ; :- , ?.'. :; v. .-.y
Hughes would not, as Wilson has done, sol
emnly commit himself to a one-term presidency
and then present himself for re-election.
No, Wilson has probably done some things
that Hughes would also have done but he has
done these things, and many more, that Hughes
would not have done. ,
3 , ' ' Visiting Nurss Tag Day.- .;
Tag days have come to be considered some
thing of a nuisance, and are frowned upon as
such, but one to which Omaha cheerfully submits
as an annual affair, is promoted in the interest of
the Visiting Nurse association. This is one of
the better known charities of the city, .conducted
by philanthropic women who give their time to
the work of alleviating suffering and mitigating
sickness among the poor. The money raised by
their "tagging" goes to benefit the most helpless,
and, therefore, the most deserving. The man
'Who' wears a tag today may feel he , has con
tributed to s good cause and will know in advance
that "what he has given will not be wasted. That
is why Omaha wilt 'welcome the taggers, and
with each mite donated wish the Visiting Nurses
alt success in their work. ,
I Neutral Mails and British Interference. '
British interference with neutral rights has
reached a point where mails from the United
States to the Far East are to be carried by army
transports to make certain they may reach their
destination without being held up by a British
warship. This phase of the war can hardly be
noted with satisfaction by Americans, who have
been assured by their president that everything
possible is being done to maintain and protect
our rights in all parts of the world. The matter
has long been under consideration through the
channels of diplomacy. More than a year has
elapsed since the first note, protesting against
limitation of freedom of the seas and interruption
of communication between neutrals, was dis
patched from Washington to London, and as yet
no satisfactory reply has been had. Months ago
a note specifically dealing with the mail question
was sent, but it remains unanswered.
The British cabinet calmly Ignores the com
munications from Washington, although unoffi
cial intimations' have been received that indicate
no modification of existing policy is contemplated
in London. So far the administration has not
shown even the spirit of Sweden in meeting the
situation by retaliation. Our government has
pursued a course of tacit submission to continued
violation of neutrality, which does not square
with the repeated protestations.
Congress threatens to force the hand of the
executive by attaching riders to the emergency
revenue measure, but this will only serve to em
phasize the sorry failure of the negotiations of
the State department with England.
. Something New for Tennessee. .
The presence of a republican candidate for
preaident of the United States on the sacred aoil
of Dixie ia an unusual experience for the demo
crats of the southland. Therefore the reception
accorded Ur. Hughes by the chivalrous Tennea
aeeans wad essentially partisan democratic, but
its ending was typically American. Heckling is
not established as a custom of political campaign
ing in the United States, but the imported prac
tice was well encountered by the republican candi
date, who by his fairness and frankness, as well
as by his positive force, finally won hearty cheers
of the crowds addressed at Nashville. The south
is democratic, but not as solid as the brigadiers
would have the public believe.' Leaven of a new
life is working among the voters there, and a
change in political lines is coming. - The - old
time ruling oligarchy, tottering on its last legs,
will be forced to fight this time as never before,
if it withstands again the onalaught of popular
government represented in the nation by the re
publican party. "
The Florence bank robber closed his season's
engagement with befitting thrills and dash in San
Francisco. Had the holdup's discretion equalled
his nerve there ia no telling how long he might
have njoyed "easy money." But his methods
lacked variety. Sameness of object and means
marked his trail and wrought his timely finish.

ON A HOTEL VERANDA.
New York Times.
Three women with double china
Are knitting.
One is making pink buttons.
nne nas a, mien,
That trickles out
As though It oosed
From the sticky ends
Of her mo lasses -colored hair.
The second, with a tremendoue breast,
Is knitting a Nils-green scarf.
Her eyes are dim and watchful, ,
Like an old eagle's.
m rnM thai srlrrar nf the BUrf .
She works steadily,
And the green scarf laps over mottled bands
That glitter with precious stones.
The third's needles and tongue
Clack Incessantly.
If shs were to help
With that hooked nose of hers
The ruby shawl would be finished sooner.
The high-heeled shoes of all three
Tap the floor,
And they talk busily of nothing.
It Is evident that they have Just finished
luncheon.
They have the satisfied look
Of oily salads,
Well dished up and finished.
A huge motor purrs up: '
Ah! The thin man In white
With a head like an ostrich egg
Has arrived for ths week-end.
(He Is the husband of the mottled one.)
And new for the Yaeht club!
They waddle off,
Carrying their day's work
In pale silk bags.
What will they do at the Yacht club? ,
They will alt on that veranda..
After eating,
They will knit 1 ,
And talk.
In creaking rocking chairs
Turned well away from the shine of the surf.
