too. as you and your anaw.-lateH will yet

career. Men mora famoua In politic a than
you are have learned thla to their aorrow.
Metcalfe to Harrington.
It strikes us that this Is a distinct
challenge and defl. Harrington three
times picked Bryan for a winner, but
did no credit to his capacity as a judge
of politics. This time he picks Bryan
for a loser, and It remains to be seen
whether his capacity as a Judge of
politics has had anything added to It
or subtracted from It.
If Metcalfe's words mean what they
aay that Harrington and his asso
ciates will yet learn how strong Bryan
Is In Nebraska It must mean that
Bryan Intends to be a candidate for
delegate-at-large to the next demo
cratic national convention, Harring

The Ice Holdup in New York.
The arbitrary raise of the price of
Ice In New York City, which precip
itated Ice riots, has been followed by
an Investigation by the police com
missioner, who reports tbe high price
due to "the greed of tbe Ice com
panies." Tbe excuses offered by tbe
latter of increased demand, short
supply and inability to get men to
handle the commodity are pronounced
Insufficient, and the Impression Is con
veyed that the Investigation will be
followod by some action by the au
thorities to stop the holdup.
Here In Omaha the Ice barons did
not wait for hot weather, as in New
York, but took time by the forelock
and boosted the price for home de
livery way back In May 25 per cent
above the highest price charged any
neighboring city. It Is noticeable,
too, that all the Ice companies here
raised the price by exactly tbe same
amount at precisely the same time.
Of course, there Is no Ice trust in
Omaha any more than there is in
New York.
Center of Population Westward.
"Westward the star of empire takes
Its flight." That has always been true
In the history of civilization, but It Is
especially true today in the United
mates. According to tbe census.
bureau at Washington the populatlou
center In the last ten years moved
westward more than thirty-one miles,
twice as much aa In the preceding dec
ade. It atands to reason that Us
flight this way will be much faster in
the coming ten yeara, for each decade
profits In advancement upon the con
struction work of the one before.
The population center Is now In
Monroe county, Indiana, which 1a In
the second tier of counties south of
Indianapolis, and the geographical
center of the country Is at a point in
northern Kansas, making the distance
between the two centers 650 miles.
How long will It take the center of
population to catch up with the center
of the land? That Is an Interesting
question. In Its answer is wrapt up a
good deal of the economic and social
development of the country. We bave
already ataked out our laet frontier,
ao that this westward flight of the
atar of empire Involves no advancing
of the territorial outposts, but rather
a fllltng-In process. This Is the work
for tbe future, building up and open
ing up the country within.
The center of population must not
be allowed to awing backward, toward
the east. That would be bad for the
country in every way. We need to
equalise our centers of settlement, to
steadily draw away the overflow of
tbe large urban centers of tbe east
onto the sparsely or unpeopled
stretches of the Mt. Thia process

Common Sense in Army Discipline.
I'ncle flam does well to strike out
of the rode of rules governing the Jlfe
of prlvste soldiers those unreasonable
penalties for minor offenses that bave
been tbe bane of the soldier, and the
reflection upon the army for so long
At once it tends to elevate the standard
of the military by inviting many
worthy, energetic young fellows Into
tbe army who have heretofore shunned
It. Tbe civilian has never been quite
able to understand why the most
trivial and Inconsequential Infractions
of rules had to be met with a penalty,
which In civil life, would more nearly
fit a felony. And President Taft,
catching tbe civilian's view when he
waa secretary of war, has worked
along the line of sharp changes In this
system until now, with the aid of Gen
eral Wood, he has brought them
about.
Tbe general amelioration of the
soldier's life and lot will be the first
result. The marked Improvement In
the personnel and efficiency of the
army should be next. Hundreds of
desertions have been due to this
medieval system of discipline and of
late years, with so many opportunltlea
In other lines of activity, the army
has bad an easy time keeping well
manned. It has found it necessary to
adopt business methods of advertis
ing and competition to get the right
sort of soldiers. It has been brought
to see that it could not maintain Its
ranks with worthy material unless It
did better by them. It has tfot to
treat them more nearly like civil life
treats them, as men, not manikins.
This change also tends to lessen the
vast disparity of treatment between
private and officer.
Cholera Scare.
To people as far In the Interior as
the Missouri valley this factional
strife In which American quarantine
o fflcers at New York have engaged as
a result of the cholera scare, can have
little meaning, and they will be a lit
tle alow to appreciate the merits of
the controversy.
If cholera Is as general along the
Mediterranean coast as it Is reported,
thus endangering Immigrants now
landing at New York, It behooves our
port officers to exert all due diligence
to protect this country against the
landing of a single plague victim, or,
If any must land, then against the
spread of the disease. And that,
doubtless, can be done If the system
of inspection and handling required
by tbe government is carried out.
One of the officers Involved in the
controversy raises a great cry of
alarm for this entire country. People
are scarcely prepared to accredit that.
Even if many of those landing at
New York were affected with the
cholera, they would respond slowly to
such an alarm. If, as Is maintained,
this malady la communicated only by
'actual contact," then, surely, we
should be able to keep it In check
through the ordinary agencies.
"All Asia rejoices in your elec
tion, cabled Mr. Bryan from the
orient when Colonel Dahlman was first
elected mayor. And now, look at
them.
The senate campaign publicity bill
fixes the limit of candidates' expenses
at 10 cents per voter. That la much
cheaper than the Pittsburg minimum.
I
Mr. Bryan suggests a lot of ques
tions to be propounded to every dem
ocratic possibility for 1912. We be
tray no confidence In divulging tbe
fact that there is only one distin
guished democrat who can answer all
the questions to Mr. Bryan's complete
satisfaction.
The New York Tribune lauds Old
Sol, as "the greatest of senate parlia
mentarians," for breaking the aenate
deadlock on reciprocity. One might
fall Into the praise with more spirit,
if It did not seem that Old Sol were
simply lobbying for the Chautauqua
trust.
If those visiting real estate men
who express themselves as so highly
pleased with what they see in Omaha
want to prove their faith they will
send some of their money here and
let It multiply by investment in Omaha
property.
If Mr. Bryan should cancel that
apeaklng date In Kansas and appear
in person at the democratic state con
vention at Fremont there, would be
something doing. And stranger
things than that bave happened.
Inasmuch as the democrats have
been taking care of Fred Brunlng ever
since be sold out, the republicans who
elected blm county commissioner
think he ought to get his next nomi
nation on the democratic ticket.

General T. H. Bllsa. United States army,
who has been In command of th pro
visional brigade at Sao Diego. Cel.. has
made a report on tba teal of an auto
mo Ml truck, a two-ton Gramme type, pur
chased originally' for use with the ex
perimental rolling kitchen of the subsis
tence department. The hauling capacity
of the vehicle la 4 J0 pounds and during
the maneuver work It amply proved Its,
capacity without overworking and per
formed the labor of three eort wagons.
During Its service it handled nearly 1.000,000
pounds of subsistence stores and property
In addition to large quantities of supplies,
such as beef, vegetables and flour, esti
mated at SOu.OuO pounds. The authorities
obtained some statistics concerning com
parative cost and expense of maintenance.
The difference In first cost between the
truck and three wagons, the latter with
twelve mules, including harness. Is
Th difference In cost of operation tor
ninety-thre days Is SUT2 In both Instances
In favor of the truck. "From a military
point of view," says General Bliss, "the
advantages arising from shortening the line
of march, from the absence of horses, from
the ability to send th trains on long de
tour, thus insuring their safety and at the
same time with th certainty of their being
on hand when wanted, are obvious. In my
opinion, the time has come for the adoption
of an auto truck specially designed for
military service and its gradual substitu
tion for th greater part of the work now
done by escort wagons."
The Infantry drill regulations, prepared
John F. Morrison, general staff; Captain
Merch B. Htewart, Eighth Infantry (major,
Porto Rico regiment), and Captain Alfred
W. BJornatad, general staff, are awaiting
approval of Major General Leonard Wood,
chief of staff. General Wood took a copy
of the new regulations with him to Pan
ama, and it Is expected that action In the
matter will be taken on his return. In
th meantime, a committee of the general
staff. conslHtlng of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry C. Hodges, Jr., and Captain Paul B.
Malone, Is reviewing the regulations. One
of the most Important features of th pro
posed regulations Is that which Increases
the strength of companies of Infantry from
100 to 150 men. Jn a war of any alse, It
would be necessary for this country to put
St least 1.000,000 Infantrymen In the field;
and. If this tore were organised Into U0
mn companies, it Is estimated that' there
would be a saving of some 1132,900,000 a year
over a similar force organized Into luO-men
companies, owing to the less number of of
ficers, bands, orderlies, transportation
equipment, horses and mules required.
For example, a 150-men company organiza
tion would require J.000 less companies, 750
less battalions, 250 less regiments, eighty
three less brigades, and twenty-seven less
divisions, with a saving of twenty-seven
major generals, eighty-three brigadier
generals, and their aids and staffs, 260 less
lieutenant colonels, 750 less majors in com
mand of battalions and their staffs. 1,500
captains and lieutenants, and a consider
ably less number of non-commissioned of
ficers. During the existence of the provisional
brigade for maneuver purposes In the vicin
ity of San Liego, there were some lm
porant tests of motor cyclea, two of which
vehicles were tried out under various con
ditions snd were made the subject of a
report sent to the War department by Ma
jor J. P. O'Nell, Thirtieth Infantry, chief
of staff of General Bliss. The machines
were attached to various subdivisions of
th command In the maneuvers and used
for the purpose of keeping various camps
in contact, carrying written messages, pa
trollng, selecting camp sites and on one
occasion sent In pursuit of deserters. Most
of the work was In a rough and mountain
ous country, a great deal of sandy road,
and on various occasions, across small
streams from six to eighteen Inches in
depth. The cycles were never out of serv
ice to make repairs. In on case th chief
of staff rod twenty-four miles, spent
two and a half hours Inspecting sites snd
returned to hla proper station between 1
and 6 p. m. In another instance an orderly
with a message covered a distance of sixty
miles in mountainous country in five hours
while an average speed of fifteen miles was
made In cariylng th malls. Major O'Nell
says In his report; "In maneuvers for po
sition, in attack and defense. In patrols,
these machines were kept well to the front
doing excellent work, often reconnolterlng
th road for four or flv miles in advance,
and also in carrying mesaagea to th rear.
This was don by them while on the march
more expeditiously than meaaaces could
b ent by horaemen or signaling. Three
commissioned officers and five enlisted
men became expert In th use of the ma
chines. From personal experience and the
various report rendered to roe. I am of
th opinion that these machines are in
valuable to a command and should be sup
plied In pairs.

S'tlTH OMAHA. July lT.-To the Kdl
tcr rf The Bee: We not on your edi
torial page th following item.
Tv.e Kansas City Live Stovk exchange
has been ordered by the court to abro
gate Its rule prohibiting members deal
Ir.g with non-member. We do not know
whether our South Omaha Liv Btock ex
change has a similar rule or not. but. If
so. a hint should be quit enough."
The order mentl'Mied Is against the Kan
taa City Traders' IJve Stock exchangt.
not the Kansas City Uva Stock exchange.
This Is an entirely separate organisation,
which has no connection with the Kansas
City Live Stock exchange. For your In
formation I quote from the rules and by
laws of the South Omaha Lir Stotk ex
change, rule No. IX which Is headed:
Consignors Selling Their Own Live
Stock." Section 1: "Nothing In these
rules shall b construed ss In any man
ner prohibiting any consignor from sail
ing his own live stock on the market .at
said stock yards, nor any member of the
exchange from buying such stock from
such consignor. "
Tou can thus readily see that the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange Is absolutely
in the clear In this respect. Will you not
kindly give this the fame publicity you
gave to the hint to us?

MODERN MAUD MULLER.
New York Times.
Maud Muller on a summer's day
Sped by a meadow sweet with hay.
The Judge waa mowing In the lot;
Maud In her motor saw him not.
She let out a notch or two
And like a winged thing she flew.
The Judge looked up and winked his ey.
To see Maud Muller skimming by.
He gloated otr the coming fine,
(They'd pinch her near the county lin.)

That day, when In the calaboose,
Maud couldn't give a good excuse.
The Judge, he simply amtled and then
He said, "My girl, 'twill cost you ten."
And so In court ten plunk aha paid
And started off a wiser maid.
'Tie said to learn by tongue or pen
The dismal news. 'Twill coat you ten."

The Judge is mowing in the bay
Until another comes his way.
