Personal Animus in Alaska Case.
The Alaska investigation has
reached the Impressive stage of dis
closing a large degree of personal
animus lying very near the origin of
the charges preferred by Delegate
Wlckersham against Attorney General
Wickersham. According to the dele
gate's own admission, he had agreed
to accept the position of attorney to
the Guggenhelms for the modest
stipend of $15,000 a year, and some
how the proposition did not suit the
Guggenhelms, or at least it was not
accepted by them. Now, Instead of
being their paid attorney. Delegate
Wickersham is their sworn enemy and
the virulent accuser of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham.
If there has been any wrong-doing
In the affairs of Alaska, and if Dele
gate Wickersham konws of it and has
revealed it in his charges, it Is unfor
tunate that personal animus should
have entered so largely into his state
ment of the case. It cannot but tend
to discredit the accuser to find that
his own private feelings have anything
to do with the issue. No one who has
tried to keep up with the Alaska sit
uation can reasonably doubt that un
wisdom, if not culpable neglect, has
marked the acts of some of the gov
ernment's agents there. That, we
think, is fairly well established. The
president, himself, long ago became
convinced of it and took steps to
change these conditions. The secre
tary of the interior is even now pre
paring for an official tour of personal
Inspection.
But those bent on magnifying faults
for revenge or sensational purposes
have not helped the case at all, nor
have they helped themselves very
much. It is obvious that the congres
sional committee, without regard to
political complexion, is thoroughly dis
gusted with the patent attempt of run
ning through the whole line of "testi
mony" to discredit the administration.
What its report is likely to be may be
gleaned from the assertion of Con
gressman Littleton, a strong democrat,
that he does not believe the charges
Delegate Wickersham alleges against
Attorney General Wickersham.
The Water Bonds.
OMAHA. July SI. To the Editor of The
Bee: Why don't you tell where you are on
the water bond? Is It because you know
they are going to carry this time that you
do not discus them seriously? Or Is It
because you have changed your position?
VOTER.
Presumably, the water bonds will
carry at the coming election, since
there is no one specially Interested to
beat them, while the Water boarders
have been busy beating the bushes and
sounding alarms to excite enough in
terest to get a vote out. The Bee ex
pected the bonds to carry before, al
though it knew a lot of people would
vote against them because of lack of
confidence in the Water board, and
when they are voted this time it will
not be an expression of confidence in
the board, but merely recognition of
the fact that the Water board has put
the city in a deplorable hole and
offered no other way out.
The Bee has not changed Its posi
tion, however, and can express it no
better than it did Just before the last
election, when it said:
The Bee believes the proposed Issue of
$8,260,000 water bonds at this time, before
the court haa told us how much will be
needed to settle for the plant, Is premature
Just as was the voting of S6.SOO.000 water
bonds two years ago. It does not believe
voting these bonds at this time will hasten
the court proceedings In the least or that It
will make any difference whether they are
voted down or up so far as ultimate results
are concerned.
It may be recalled that the 'correct
ness of The Bee's attitude was con
firmed immediately after the late bond
election by Water Board Member
Sherman in a public statement, in
which he declared:
Of course. I wanted to see the bonds
voted, a a member of the Water board
and a a private cltlsen and water con
sumer, but I do not think the defeat of the
proposition wa fatal. The bond will be
voted without any question when the time
comes. I do not see that the success or
defeat of the proposition on Tuesday could
have had any effect In hastening or retard
ing the actual possession of the plant by
the city.
Missiouri as a Cotton State.
Official statistics show that the Mis
souri cotton crop of 1910 was the
largest and most valuable ever raised
In that state. The computed worth
after ginning of both lint and seed
was $4,870,000, which represents 28,
530,000 pounds of cotton valued at
$4,190,000 and 26,000 tons of seed
valued at $680,000. This cotton is
produced in the southeastern counties
of the state.
These figures are suggestive of the
possible development of rotton cul
ture in this country. It is fair to as
sume that, with this splendid showing
for a few counties In Missouri, it is
only a "fractional part of what
might be produced with greater and
more scientific effort. In the states
further south, the real cotton states,
the government shows that intensive
methods of farming are steadily being
applied to cotton raising and the re
sults are counted in a vastly enlarged
output per acre as well as a higher
grade of cotton. So great was the
gain in these respects last year, that,
despite a bulk less than the preceding
year, the crop was far more valuable
on the market. And it is promising
to note that Missouri la one of the
states that has entered systematically
upon plans for the advancement of
scientific farming.
If Missouri is able to make such a
showing in cotton with only a part
effort, what could the entire country
do' were all the land adapted to cot
ton cultivated for that purpose? Eng
land still controls the cotton export
trade to the Orient and England gets
the bulk of its raw material In the
United States. Cotton gins In the
south, are, to be sure, according to
official records, multiplying faster
than the Increase In acreage of cotton
grown, yet our mills are not becoming
so numerous that we threaten to step
in front of England in supplying cot
ton products to the far east. Why
should not the producer of the raw ma
terial also be the producer of the fin
ished article and lead in both lines of
export trade? That Is what this coun
try must ultimately do.
A Possible Precedent
Illinois may settle for Nebraska one
point which has been raised against
the appropriation by the late legisla
ture for a building for the medical de
partment ot our Btate university.
Over in Illinois a similar appropria
tion was made tor the medical depart
partment of the University of Illinois,
and the homeopaths are threatening
to attack it on the ground that It is
discriminating and class legislation
because the instruction in medicine
conforms to the so-called allopathic
school. The test is to come in the
form of an Injunction suit brought by
the Illinois Homeopathic association
to prohibit the state auditor from pay
ing over the appropriation of $125,000
made by the legislature for the med
ical school. In Illinois other technical
defects are also alleged, which may be
an excuse for the court to Ignore this
main proposition. But if Illinois will
decide It, the decision there should be
helpful In settling the contentious at
mosphere among our Nebraska medics
here.
Relics of Barbarism.
A shocking example of barbarism is
reported from near Liberty, Mo., where
a farmer hitched his wife, the mother
of his two little children, to a plow
alongside of a mule and drove her in
the field. When she fell or faltered in
the furrow he lashed her with his
whip, as he would have done the mule.
The brute was arrested and placed
under bond of $500, awaiting trial on
the comparatively gentle charge of
"felonious assault," and, to the credit
of his neighbors, no one consented to
go his bond.
Here is a graphic but pathetic ac
count by the two little boys, 4 and 6
years of age, of the astounding cruelty:
"Papa whipped mamma with a big strap,"
ald Beathel. "He tied mamma' hands be
hind her with a rope and then tied the rope
to the plow, and sne had to walk and keep
up or be dragged. We couldn't hardly keep
up, could we, Basil?"
"Mamma couldn't hardly keep up, either,"
Basil added.
"Mamma couldn't walk much In plowed
around with hr handa tied behind her. and
1 when she stumbled papa would hit her with
the strap."
"Did father whip mamma before that
day?" was asked.
"Tea, papa whipped mamma lota of
times," answered Beathel. "He's whipped
us. too."
A certain low type of humanity with
the brutal instinct abnormally de
veloped is all that could commit a
crime of this sort. Somehow, in spite
of the sympathy evoked for Ignorance
and neglect, one finds himself in such
a case wishing that the penalty of the
law might be made especially keen
and severe.
Neither the Water board nor the mayor
and council can rescind a bond authoriza
tion by the whole people. World-Herald.
No, but the people who voted the
authorization can rescind it. All that
would have been needed would have
been to insert in the present bond
proposition a sentence reading: "Au
thority to issue $3,000,000 water
bonds voted in 1900, and to issue
$6,500,000 water bonds voted in 1909
is hereby rescinded," and no sale
could ever after be made of the an
nulled bonds. The voting of the pro
posed $8,250,000 water bonds will
give the Water board legal authority
to issue $17,750,000 of bonds any time
it chooses.
The democratic World-Herald Is
greatly distressed because the repub
lican state platform does not specif
ically endorse pending legislation for
increase of pensions to union veterans.
This is the same newspaper that once
editorially announced that the pen
sions were never honestly deserved,
and bewailed the fact that the pen
sioned veterans were so long lived.
The veterans know that they have al
ways been liberally treated in the mat
ter of pensions by republicans over the
strenuous opposition of the southern
democrats, who are now In the saddle
in the demorrotln rarty.
The Nebraska delegation In Wash
ington, democrats and republicans
alike, are to vote for the bill reducing
the tariff duties on cotton. That
ought to be perfectly safe, inasmuch
as not a pound of cotton Is grown or
manufactured in Nebraska, and the
only influential Nebraskan directly In

Major General Leonard Wood, chief of
taff, at odd time during his trip to
Panama, has been examining th pro
posed new Infantry drill regulations. He
has cabled to the War department that.
In hi opinion, sufficient attention has not
been given In the regulations tonight firing
and bayonet fencing. The committee of
the general staff, which has the regula
tions under consideration, ha taken up
these subjects with a view to amplifying
the paragraphs pertaining thereto, and it
Is expected to have this work completed
by the time General Wood returns. The
outlook is that th proposed regulations
will be approved and adopted soon there
after. Chess) Fodder for Army.
The military authorities are much grati
fied with th result of the competitive bid
ding this year for hay and oat to be
hipped to th Philippine tor the animals
of the army In th islands. Contracts
were this week awarded by the quarter
master general to W. W. Robinson of
Seattle, for 10,000 tons of best east Wash
ington timothy hay at 82 cents and to
Balfour, Guthrie A Co., also of Seattle,
for 7,000 tons of oat at $1.37. This repre
sents the annual supply for the Philippines
and the prices are much lower than the
contract rate of last year, when the War
department paid 11.15 tor hay and $1.44
for oat. An unusual phase of the situ
ation this year was th failure to receive
any bids from the central-western section
of the country, a circumstance which Is
probably due to the prevalence ot drought
and the failure of the hay crop to a degree
that will provide nothing for foreign ship
ment and which will meet only about (0
per cent of the demand at home. Under
the circumstances. It Is th more remark
able that such satisfactory price ahould
b obtained.
Csnrt-Martlal Case.
The president ha acted on one of the
army court-martial cases which has been
before him Involving sentences of dismis
sal. It Is that of Lieutenant-Colonel Elmer
W. Hubbard, of the coast artillery corps,
who Is stationed at Fort Moultrie, S. C.
Executive approval of the sentence of
dismissal In this case was not necessary,
as the president haa decided that Colonel
Hubbard may take advantage ot this priv
ilege of retirement on his own applica
tion after thrity years service. This appli
cation was approved In view of Colonel
Hubbar's military record, which ha been
an excellent one. The oother case 1 that of
Lieutenant Robert O. Rutherford, Jr.,
Twenty-fourth infantry, on duty at Madt
aon Barracks, N. Y., who has been sen
tenced to dismissal for alleged irregulari
ties. It Is understood that much Influence
Is being exerted In behalf of Lieutenant
Rutherford, and, in the meantime, the
postponement of executive action Is serving
to delay the promotion of first and second
lieutenants of the Infantry arm.
Troop la Texas.
The president Is considering the problem
of th maintenance of a military force In
Texas and southern Arizona and Califor
nia In relation to the affairs of Mexico.
The best obtainable Information from the
State department I to th effect that the
situation in the neighboring republic la
anything but pacific. No one can tell at
what time there will be an outbreak of
serious proportions, and it haa been sug
gested to Mr. Taft that the presenoe of
the army along the Rio Grande will un
doubtedly operate as a discouragement of
any formidable rebellion in Mexico. Much
depends on the results and the events
succeeding the Mexican elections early in
October. There are conflicting report from
Mexico concerning the Intentions of the
adherents of Madero and the opposing
party. There Is even a suspicion that Ma
dero Is not a big enough man for the
situation. Everything depends upon tne
ability of the Mexican government to check
the uprising of the discontented. No one
expects, of course, invasion of Mexico by
American troops, but the president Is be
ing urged to keep troops In Texas for th
Influence their presence Is likely to exert
on the Mexican situation.
