Barriers to the Peace Fact.
Reiterated assurance by both the
American and British governments
that the proposed Anglo-American
treaty la not an alliance have failed
to satisfy the German and Irish in
this country and the homelands
Many of tbera are unable to see any
thing but a practical offensive and
defensive compact In the agreement.
The United States has no desire to
offend Germany nor Its great German
American and Irish-American popula
tion, which has always been a vital
part of our national llfeblood. We
want the friendship of England, to be
sure, but so more than we want the
friendship of Germany and we want
the peace pact with England to In
clude the Irish.
If the proposed agreement aims, aa
It does, at promoting world peace, It
might broaden it scope so aa to take
In Germany, as well aa France and
Great Britain. That would remove
these objections and satisfy Irish peo
ple of our sincerity. If the compact
la In fact an arbitration treaty and
not an alliance, the purpose would
be subserved If we had similar treaties
with all the great powers.
Publio Opinion in Mexico.
The fourth article of consideration
In the peace pact signed by federal
and .rebel representative In Mexico
contains this provision:
Tbat the national government will study
the conditions of publio opinion in the ac
tuality to satisfy these conditions with tha
provisions of tha constitution, eto.
Awkward verbiage, but it gets down
to the marrow of the whole question
In Mexico. History has repeated Itself
In this revolution, for, after all, what
Madero and his forces fought against
was the- throttling of publio opinion
by a power, which, while strong and in
many way beneficent to Mexico,
despotically ignored popular senti
ment.
If, then, the rebels have gained this
point,' If they have brought the gov
ernment, or those who shall adminis
ter It, to" the place where they will
recognize the right and power of pub
lic opinion, they have achieved a tri
umph worth while. Such a. triumph
would be an open door to free and full
advancement for Mexico, it Is too
early, though, to say Just how com
plete this concession Is, for it Is a long
cry from the ancient order to that of
actually satisfying the demands of
public opinion, especially in a country
like Mexico, where public opinion has
never' been any too coherently ex
pressed. If, Indeed, It ha been certain,
In Itself, of Its demands. The un
favorable aspect that obtrudes Itself
in any consideration of popular gov-,
ernment In Mexico : is the lack of
preparation for that great power on
the part of such a large proportion of
the population.
Sticking- to the Aeroplane. , . .
A Chicago architect, who ha re
turned from a visit, to Europe, in a
publlq speech take Chicago to task
for being "twenty yeara behind the
tjmes In the subject, of aeronautics."
He saya that In most of the European
cities "travel by dirigible has be
come a fixed Institution, but here we
are wasting million of dollar on the
neavier-tnan-air macnine, or aero
plane."
Just think of It! In up-to-date
Chicago people persist in doing all
their travel In the antiquated aero
plane, while their friends over In
Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Rome and
Madrid have long ago discarded the
aeroplane for the more modern means
of travel, the dirigible balloon. It
to be hoped our Chicago neighbor
will let this rebuke arouse them from
their lethargy, cast out Into the junk
pile, along with the horse-drawn ve
hicles, street cars and automobiles
and all other out-of-date conveyances,
the old-faahioned. aeroplane and turn
to the dirigible. '
"How do the progressive Germans,
Austrlans, Frenchmen, Italians and
Spaniard entertain their ' visitor?"
ask this traveler and, answering hi
own question, saya: "They say, 'Come
take a trip In my dirigible,' and going
to hangar, get out their balloon and
fly away off Into the air." So he
urges Chicago folks to get a move
on and adopt the dirigible for adver
tising their city. Take visitors up In
It and let them see Chicago.
Unfortunately the report doe not
state whether thla gentleman is a
balloon architect or only an architect
of earthly structures. He must make a
specialty of elevations.
Unenviable Publicity.
Every little while someone who
ought to know better breaks out with
some freak proposition that give
Omaha unenviable publicity and tend
to counteract the good advertising we
go to such pain to cultivate.
The latest that Is going the rounds
of the newspaper la a dispatch from
Omaha representing our people as or
ganizing old-time vigilance commit
tee to maintain law and order. This
la the way It la printed In the Kansas
City Times:
OMAHA, Neb., May JO. An oid-tlmo vig
ilance committee ts being organised In
Omaha to check the lawlessness and crime
which prevalla A business men's commit
tee on law and order, through its chair
man. P. A. Wells, lawyer, haa Issued tha
call to arms. The call la for "Six deter
mined men from each ward to sarva aa a
volunteer poUne force for home protection;
men preferred who have smelt powder be
fore, who know how to handle a gun and
are not afraid to handle It."
Mr. Welle Is a big game hunter and for
ten years managed a gang of cowboya on
tha range, where ha several times engaged
in frontier bat Use.
Of course, nobody In Omaha takes
this sort of wild talk seriously.' but it
effect can be well Imagined on outsid
ers who srs ready to believe that
Omaha Is still a border-ruffian town
with cowboys riding up and down the
streets brandishing six-shooters. It,
effect can well be Imagined on people
who might be considering Invitations
to locate In Omaha and bring their
families here to help share 'in our
prosperity.
As a matter of fact, however, this
unenviable notoriety la to be charged
to the Inexcusable Inaction of our own
city council In not providing funds to
enlarge the police force and furnish
enough men to patrol the residence
district at night If the council had
acted promptly when conditions de
manded we would have not only dis
couraged the operationa of amateur
bandits, but also been spared these
damaging hair-trigger fulmlnatlona
about volunteer vigilante.
Big Job in Alaska.
The report) of the field division of
the general land office indicating
that every coal land claim filed In
Alaska may be Invalid reveals a de
plorable condition, emphasizing the
task that confronts the government
in ferreting out the crooked work that
has been done there. There are 1,100
of these claim all told and 700 of
them have been examined and found
to be defective or fraudulent. The
remaining 410 entries are now under
the searchlight, but the advance
statement Is given out that they are
all legally defective.
Of course repining over the situa
tion will not cure It, nor has the gov
ernment Indicated any Intention of
quitting at that. Manifestly it is go
ing to the bottom with the determina
tion of protecting public rights, or It
would not have this Information to
disclose. But It cannot make It work
too thorough. It 1 a great thing to
have discovered this system of fraud,
now, though it would have been better
to have prevented it. No doubt, how
ever, the task was a formidable one,
for the powers back of the invalid
claims are great enough to set up all
but insuperable obstacles to any in
vestigation the government could
make. We may hope, therefore, that
this much success presages complete
victory.
The machinery of the Unite far Vtes
government Is invincible when prop
erly exercised and it should be exer
cised so as to keep for the nation,
the rightful owner, full benefit of all
the remaining public domain In whose
bosom Is locked the wealth of present
and future generations. Of course,
the government will be In a position
hereafter to preclude the possibility
of such piracy of its property. Safe
guarding It from those engaged In
this rapine and plunder 1 going to he,
however', one of the task in adminis
tering the affaire of Alaska.

1 A case In point.
Some sapient lawyer, writing about
the preacher's salary and living ex
penses, puts down the Hem "house
maid's wages" at $120 a year. If
that lawyer can locate a few good
housemaids at $120 a year he will
have no trouble in finding some fat
fees for himself.
It is discovered that the proposed
issue of fire engine house bonds will
have to be held down to $100,000 be
cause more than thaf would exceed
the charter debt limit for the year.
Lucky there Is no limit on the Issue
of water bonds.
Just to show its appraisal of rela
tive values, one Omaha newspaper

PRESIDPItT TAFT AND THE JKW9
Statement of "Historic Truth I'snally
Forgotten.
Washington Herald.
'The Jewa need no defenea." The presi
dent In his address to the Jews of this
city at tha Eighth Street temple, as usual.
has uttered the right expression In tha
right place. And when ha added that "It
was a Jew who financed tha American
revolution, , who did aa much In establish
ing the eredlt of the new nation aa did
Washington on tha field of battle for tbe
freedom of the people," he stated a his
torical fact which It would be wise for
those to remember who, acoordlng to tha
president, "are so small-headed that when
occasionally getting Into tha directorate
of a club they manifest their greatness by
using a ball; and shutting out men of Im
portance to the community."
The occasion was the effort on the part
of the Jewa of this city to erect a memo
rial to Chalm Salomon, that patriotic Jew
who advanced to the leaders of the revo
lution and to the first administration of
this country the sum of $660,000, not 1 cent
of which has ever been demanded of or
paid back by tha ITnlted States. The pres
ident did that which every fair-minded
man In his exalted position would do. He
pointed out tha merit of tha Jew aa a cit
izen and the lesson of how he Is often
treated and how he should be treated and
n.ore acknowledged and appreciated. He
uttered a simple fact when he aald that
tha Jew Is a valued member of our com
munities. .
Tha Jews of Washington are acting
wisely when they propose to honor the
memory of ChaJm Salomon. The man de
serves that honor aa much as the rest of
those whom we are wont to look upon as
heroes of our revolution. It Is Important
to bava the slnewa of war or there can be
no war. and these sinews of war were
furnished by Chalm Salomon of Philadel
phia, free, without a thought of ever ask
ing tha struggling new government to re
imburse him or his heirs. ' Where will you
find greater or more unselfish patriotism?

The conditions prevailing In southern
Texas make It poeslble to conduct many
testa under conditions equivalent to those
of actual warfare. Among other new fea
tures of tha army subject to trial la the
making of field bread. This la being done
at tha division bakery at San Antonio,
where two ovens are continuously at work
baking bread, which Is regularly supplied
by wagon transportation to a brigade at
Lieon Springs. This Is a type of fresh
bread, having a very fine cellular structure
with thick crust, being made In thla man
ner to withstand long transportation and
keep for a period of ten day to two weeks
or longer, depending on the weather con
ditionsthe leaat moisture In tha bread
and tha drier the weather the longer It will

troops at such distances. In advance of
bakeries, that ordinary fresh breed cannot
be provided. The bread of this type which
has been baked In the various army baking
schools haa met with approval, and It la
expected there will be similar f'or ex

The War department has been advised
by Captain Duncan K. Major, Jr., Twenty
seventh Infantry, in temporary command of
Whipple Barracks, Aril., and Captain E.
O. C. Ord. U. 8. A., retired, who 'liven In
Phoenix, Arts., that they wera excluded
from a akatlng rink at Prescott, Arts.,
when they applied for admission. These
officers ware attired In the uniform of the
service and It Is alleged that the manager
of the place of entertainment denied them
admission because they wera so attired.
The officers have reported tha Incident to
the United States district attorney at Tuc
son and have, It ia stated, also Informed
the War department of the circumstances.
Subsequent advlcea received at tha depart
ment Impart tha Information that tha man
ager of tha skating rink has tendered his
apologies. The department authorities
have advised the officers In Aiisona that
If thla apology Is not regarded aa suffi
cient, the matter will be formally referred
to the Department of Juatloe. There ts

The War department has had before It
this week the question whether the con
tract dental surgeons In tha service at the
time of the passage of the act of March
3, 1911, shall be ccmraissloned aa "first
lieutenants, dental corpa." as recom
mended by the surgeon general of tha
army, or as "dental surgeons with tha
rank of first lieutenant," In view of tha
several provisions of that portion of tha
act which establishes a dental corpa aa a
part of the medical department of tha
army. In the law provision Is made for
thirty-one "dental surgeons," and else
where In tha same law It Is stated that
the "dental corps shall be composed of
dental surgeons and acting dental sur
geons shall not exceed sixty and tha number
geons shall not eceed slty and tha number
of acting dental surgeons shall be such as
may from time to time be authorised by
law." ' that "all original . appointments
halt be as acting dental surgeons," and
that ' "acting dental surgeons who have
served three years In a manner satisfac
tory to tha secretary of war shall be
eligible for appointment aa dental sur
geons," etc It Is further provided that
the "contract dental surgeons attached to
the medical department at tha time of tha
passage of this act may be eligible for
appointment as first lieutenants, dental
corps, without limitation as to age." Con
struing all of the provisions together. It
Is held by the War department that the
proper designation of the grade Is "den
tal surgeon" and that the appointment
should designate them as "dental surgeons
with the rank of first lieutenant."
There may be some doubt In congress as
to the wisdom of Increasing the term of
enlistment In the army from three to five
years, as proposed In Representative Hay's
bill, upon which hearings have been held
during the last two weeks, but there Is no
question of the lack of confidence In the
proposition to establish a reserve force,
however much one may be needed as a
means of augmenting the army In time
of war. It' la not altogether a matter of
expense, which Is considerable, when taken
In connection with the appropriations top
tha regular army and ths additional allot
ment, which Is destined to be made for
tha increased pay of the organized militia.
Few members of congress fshare General
Wood's faith In the practical results of
the plan, mainly for the reason that It
Is doubtful If tha force of reserves would
attain to anything like the numerical
strength described by the chief of staff.
General' Wood haa estimated that In seven
years the country would have 270,000 men
n Its reserves those who had served three
years with the colors and then entered
the reserves for the next seven years. It
Is appreciated that there will be difficulty
In keeping track of men of this class, and
tha requirement to respond to a call for
service again with the army In the field
In time of trouble would still depend largely
upon individual patriotism. . While there
will be opposition. In all probability, to
Mr. Hay'a bill Increasing tha period of
enlistment, there Is no disposition, on the
other hand, to make any radical change
In tha way of limiting the time of service,
even for the sake of creating a reserve
force.

would appear, however, aa If Nwo-thlrd

I remember, I remember.
The girls I used to Ilka;
They dkln t run a motor car.
They didn t ride a bike, '
They didn't play the game ef brldgS
Or rush to bargain sales.
They didn't go to problem play
Or read erotlo tales.
I remember, I remember
Tha girts I .used to woo; .
They didn't wear their shirt waist the
So very peekaboo,
They didn't bleacle their pratry hair
Or wear those hats Like tuba, ,
They didn't have a night key
Or go to women's clubs.
I remember, I remember
Tbe girls that I have kissed,
Not one a Christian Scientist.
Not one' a -suffragist, 1
They didn't run a chafing dish
Nor smoke a cigarette;
Thev lived a qnlet, simple life
Those girls are living yet!
I remember, 1 remember
The girls I used to see!
I woudn't want to see them now,
80 out of data they'd be.
I'd be an old back-number dub
To like them nowadays;
I much prefer the modern girt.
With all her modern ways.
