General (i. M. Dodge has recently
said that what brought the north and
south together so soon after the civil
war was the spirit of mutual appre
ciation on the part of the soldiers In
both armies. That seems to be a
rational theory. If the men who ac
tually did the fighting could lay by
their arms and their animosities to-
j gather, certainly those who did not
j fight could afford to lay aside their
animus and prejudice.
Today, of course, there Is neither
time nor place for asperities. We are
all busy now completing what the war
begun the perfection of tho union,
"a government of the people, by the
people and for the people," perform
ing that "great task remaining before
us," of which Lincoln spoke. Memo
rial day should never lose its hold
upon our hearts and minds. This
country may never hope to overpay
the debt It owes to the men who laid
their lives on Us altar in defense of its
Integrity.
But the paramount lesson of the
war for us, and the generations to
come after us, is one of education In
citizenship. Whatever else Appomat
tox means, it means personal respon
sibility for every American In helping
to maintain a popular government.
Happily, we seem to realize this. Each
year our schools, our daily and period
ical press and Our pulpits are devoting
a better effort to the purpose of in
culcating in young minds the basic
principles for which the army of the
union contended. This is having a
righteous influence In our civlo life
and la developing us beyond the point
where we are willing to parley about
dead Issues. It Is ridding us of all
rancor and foolish prejudice and
uniting us more closely In the bonds
of one people. We have come now to
the place where we can look without
dispasslon on subjects that need to be
thoroughly analyzed to be correctly
understood and appreciated.
Is Wichita Eeactiouary?
Wichita, the home of that sturdy
insurgent in congress, the Hon. Vlo-
tor Murdock, has taken a de
cided step backward and raised the
question of Its own progresslvelsm.
It has not slipped, to be sure, in Its
political path, but rather In Its busi
ness progress by letting go of Its base
ball club, which was a member of the
Western league. Base ball Is busi
ness today a business in which some
30,000,000 Is annually turned over.
Few cities In the country that have
professional teams would care to give
them up, even if their sporting blood
was not up to standard, but merely
for the protection of their business
reputations, A base ball club la n
excellent means of advertising, a. city
ana certainly Wichita will come to ap
preciate this fact by Inverse ratio.
This boasted "metropolis of Kan
sas" and home of the progressive Mur
dock,. then, has done a very reaction
ary thing In failing to support a win
ning team. It might haVe been dif
ferent had the team been a loser, still
that would not have Justified the city
made famous as Murdock's dwelling
place In such a course. Why. even
Danville, 111., has a league base ball
team Danville, where abldeth Uncle
Joe, the arch-apostle of what Con
gressman-Editor Murdock calls the
"reactionaries."
Bill Allen White, a rood friend of
Murdock and another pro-progressive,
writing In his Emporia Gazette, under
the significant caption, "Poor Old
Wichita," says:
Wichita, the peerless orlnceaa nt v..
plains, has lost her base ball team, which
becomes the property of Pueblo. All kinds
of explanations are being offered, but ex
planations don't count for much wh. i.
comes to a question of advertising.
White adds: "The fact that she
lost her base ball team Is exploited
an over the country." Just so and to
that extent Wichita is marked as a
failure Instead of a success. To rav
the least, and it Is bad advertising for
wicnita and only serves to redouble
the task of Murdock to keen allva
the fame of his city, "the metropolis
of Kansas."

Foreign Capital in Mexico.
Wrhat will be the immediate atti
tude of foreign capital in ' Mexico?
Foreign capital, of course, will not
want to deprive Itself of any of the ex
cellent opportunities that He before

resources, especially since It la cred
ited with having had a little to do with
the movement which culminated In rev
olution. But that It may be a bit timid

will likely prefer to wait and see
Just how things are going to turn un
der the new regime before extending
Its reach very far.
But unless turbulence and disorder
continue, this recess will be brief, for
capital, American capital particularly,
is too anxious for the industrial expan
sion offered In Mexico to indulge any
serious Idleness. Whatever part it had
In the revolution must have been based
on the knowledge that before industry
and manufacture could make reasona
ble headway some drastic move was
necessary to lift the masses out of
their unrest Into an existence where
they would be more satisfied. The
world will never appreciate how for
midable Dial's task was and how much
he accomplished, until it goes back to
the place where he began and com
pares conditions' then with those ex
istent at the end of Diaz's long reign.
The problem of the future, then. Is
as much economio as political, and
tha advance ot Mexico Is closely re
lated to the progress of the United
States. We need the southern repub
lic and It needs us. With our help,
it will be able to make better progress
and the better progress It makes the
greater outlet will it afford for our
industries. With each step forward
it w ill require better labor, better ma
chinery and, In fact, better living all
round. American capital will have to
help It to these modern Improvements
and in so doing will be helping Itself.
How long it will be before condi

pansion in Mexico cannot be predeter
mined, but it will not be long be

foreign capital, will be enlisted for
the development of those mighty re

country.
Score for Mr. Lynch.
Score for County Commssloner
Lynch, the lone republican member,
who, with some help from Commis
sioner Elsasser, haa forced the ring
that runs the county board to admit
its demand for an additional $250,000
for the new court house was padded
20 per cent, and to wring the water
out by reducing the. figures from
I2S0.000 to $200,000. When crowded
into the corner the democratic finan
ciers were found to have more than
$25,000 of funds available for court
house building and equipment more
than they, had exhibited on the bal
ance sheet. The result wilt be that
$50,000 will stay in the pockets of the
taxpayers instead of being spent on
unnecessary side shows, it Is only
too bad that there are not more
Lynches on the board.
Equal Senate Representation Safe.
One of the bogeys raised up In the
senate against the election of senators
by a direct vote is that if this amend
ment is made to the constitution, soon
the demand will be made for another,
which will destroy the equal repre
sentation which the states of the un
ion now have in the upper branch of
congress and that following that will
come a proposition for senate repre
sentation on the same theory as rep
resentation in the house.
The only way by which such a
change could be brought about would
be by assent of every state, as, of
course, those raising this false alarm
know. Equal representation of the
states In the senate Is one thing of
which no state can be deprived with
out Its consent and no state is likely
ever to give its consent to it. Even If all
the states but one should favor such
a proposition, that one state could de
feat It by objecting to It.
If this Is the last recourse opponents
to the popular election of senators can
find, then they must be pretty near
the end of their rope and this demand
assumes new. proportions. It Is too
late now to hide behind subterfuge.
The senator who fears to take his
chances of getting back to the senate
by the route of a popular election, will
not be missed, f

' Back to Simplicity.
The annual banquet of the Lincoln
Commercial club, at which Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey was
entertained as the principal-guest,
was a notable occasion, with over 800
at the tables. It was an event of
more than local Importance and was
by all present voted a success In every
way. But the banquet was a dollar
dinner, and simplicity was the rule,
with substantial food rather than
fancy dishes, and with the chief em
phasis put on the address by the
speaker of the evening.
We allude to this in detail' simply
by way of contrast with the too
marked tendency of late of our Com
mercial club functions in Omaha to
ward an elaborate and costly scale of
entertainment entirely uncalled for
and unwarranted. The Commercial
club should play host to great captains
of industry and other distinguished
visitors when they come to Omaha,
and do It In a creditable manner, yet
In such a way as to enlist participation
by the whole body of the membership
instead of by only a few. No Com
mercial club function in Omaha ought
to fall short of at least one-third of
the one thousand members, but this
general interest qan be secured only
by bringing the entertainments back
to simplicity and thus popularizing
them.
For consistency, commend us to the
Hon. Martin W. Littleton, member of
congress from New York. On the
Arizona recall proposition, be said in
the house: .
It Would strike from the splendid struc
ture of free government the arch upon
which it haa come to rest with unshaken
confidence.
And when the roll was called, Mr.
Littleton Joined with his democratic
brethren In voting to strike down the
arch. As Colonel Roosevelt has said,
"Words are good and only so when
backed by deeds.''
A minister has finally come to the
defense of the erstwhile Mr. Ananias,
who died with a He upon his lips. The
parson takes the position, that instead
of being an habitual liar, Mr. Ananias
must have been a very truthful man,
for his death was due to apoplexy, the
shock, no doubt, of suddenly realizing
that he had perverted the truth.

QUESTIONABLE PLAYS.
Vlgoroaa Protest Handed to Managers
of Tbeatera.
Buffalo Express.
In the protest of the committee of the
American Federation of Catholic societies
on publlo morals, issued last week in an
open letter to the theater managers of
the United States, Is food for thought for
the purveyors ot plays of questionable
character. . This -committee, wise In its
day and generation, deplores the fact that
these 'plays ppw produced in first class
houses, will soon find , their way Into
cheaper amusement places and . thus
reach out to our American boys and girls.
One paragraph in this open letter reads
thus: , I .
"We feel that the theatrical producers
and managers are , menacing the public
morality and the welfora of ths nation.
For these plays, being baaed on abom
inable sexual perversity and setting up a
standard of morality which is open licen
tiousness, Wlfl gradually acoustom the
spectators, first In thought, then in deed,
to disregard and . discard all Christian
modesty and will. thus prove tha grave of
the nation."
This protest has behind It the Federation
of Cathollo societies, numbering many
thousands of men engaged In a wide
variety of business pursuits, touching the
life of tha nation at all points. It Is a
formidable array ot cltlsenshlp and one
that may well be considered by these of

THE MIGHTY WYOMING.
Latest Addition to L'ncle Barn's Mon
arches of tha Sea.
Baltimore American.
Peace paens cannot dim the enthuslaam
of this country over additions to Its first
class warship list. The floating of the
mighty Wyoming marks a further stage in
the progress of the country in pursuancs
of its program toward the very front as a
naval power. This ship will not be sur
passed by any in the world. It will have an
armament of the greatest formldablllty.
With a speed of 'twenty and a half knots
and with a tonnage of 28,000 and a force of
fifty-four officers and more than a thou
sand enlisted men, the massive warship
will be formidable beyond any other float
ing fortress.
The Wyoming Is one of the six first
class battleships that, when this one haa
been fully equipped, will make a fleet
stronger than the entire American navy at
the close ot the Spanish-American war.
One of the mightiest of this group, the
Delaware, will be a bigger ship at the
ceremony of the coronation of King Oeorge
than any the British admiralty will have
In the naval display. - .
The United States, without excessive
burden to the people, Is thus acquiring a
rating in naval equipment that not only
oompetes with that of almost every other
power, but that will shortly place it at
the very head of the list.

MEMORIAL DAT.
Boatter the blooms where the soldiers
sleep.
Heap hlRh with flowers each patriot's
grave;
They give to us faith, and this faith we will
keep;
Sowed of their blood that their children
mltiht resp;
And ureater love never men gave.
Once they had marcjied with a mRrtlal
tread,
With fifes blowing shrilly, while wild
drums beat.
And the eyes upturned to the flag o'erhead
Could M'O, as in vision, a field of red.
And knew Valor and Death must meet.
Bravely they fought and gallantly died.
Never they shrank when the carnHge was
rife;
Crimson and dreadful was running the
tide
Thought they of country, and nothing be
side; They loved It, and offered It life.
Some came back feebly, with malm and
spar,
Crippled and wan, and sore racked with
their pain; i
Listened Impatient at conflict nfar,
Proud that the flag still upheld everystar,
And counted their losees as gain.
i
They whfc had lived through the battle
wrath,, ,
Through the fevered camp and the prison
pen.
And they who had fallen In duty's path
We sav of them all in this aftermath
That we thank Thee, Qod, they were men.
Softly the notes of the bugle call
Hall to the hosts, be they living or mute;
Knftlv the n-lnda stir the redolent Pall.
Softly the tears of the gray comrades fall
Uncovered, we stand at "salute."

This day is sacred to the heroic host who
kept this flag above our heads; sacred to
the living and the dead; tarred to the
scarred and maimed; sacred to the wives
who gave their husbands, to the mothers
who gave their sons. Here, In this peace
ful land of ours, here where the sun
shines, where flowers grow, where children
play, millions of armed men batUed for the
right and breasted on a thousand fields
the iron storms of war. These brave, these
Incomparable men founded the first repub
lic. They fulfilled their prophecies, they
brought to pass the dreams, they realised
the hopes that all the great and good and
wise and Just have made and had made
since man waa man. But what of those
who fell? There is no language to express
the debt we owe, the love we bear, to all
the dead who died for us. Words are but
barren sands. We can But stand beside
their graves and In the hush and sllense
feel what speech has never told. Robert

How Sleep the Brave."
How sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes blest!
When Spring, with dewy flngors cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell Is rung
By forms unseen their dirge Is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray.
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair.
To dwell a weeping hermit there!

Ye that mourn, let gladness mingle with

With throbbing drums and swirling gusts

Raw boys, and each unknown to each,
A loose and restive herd 900 strong,
But all sut, resolute and firm
To battle for the right and rout the

In camp and march, retreat and tight.
In hall of bullets and ot shell.

A dwindling band, we gathered here
For reminiscence and good cheer.

A well loved face.

Springfield Republican: No better sermon
has been delivered for the enlightenment ot
the financial world than that which Presi
dent Taft has given us in dealing with the
cases of Morse and Walsh. It Is a Judicial
deliverance that stands four square with
all tha needs of the situation. The presi
dent is everlastingly right in the position
which he has taken and every honest
cltlren of the United States must applaud
him for it. Into the realm of haiy finance,
where moral obligations are clouded or
ignored, comes this clear statement of
fundamental righteousness.
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
Francis Miles Finch.
By the flow of the Inland river,
whence the fleets of iron have fled,
W here the blades of the grave-grass quiver
Asleep are the ranks ot the dead.
Lnder the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day
Lnder the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Gray.
Those In the robings of glory.
These in the gloom of defeat.
All with the battle blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day
Under tha laurel, the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go.
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all,
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Broldered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain.
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain,
Under the sold and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Wet with the rain, the Blue,
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading
No braver battle waa won ,
Under the rod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Under the blossoms, the Blue, - ..
Under the garlands, the Gray. .
No more shall the war cry sever,
Nor the winding river be red;
They banish our anger forever.
When they laurel the graves ot our dead.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
