Union Pacific in Nebraska.
If under tho torms of tho merger
decision, tho Union Pacific secures
control of tho Ogdon-8an Francisco
lino, thus completing as now Its Pa
clflc coast outlot. It will ifbt only
make Omaha In fact as In narao tho
headquarters and eastern terminus
of tho greatest transcontinental line,
but will Inovltnbly result Jn monu-
hiontnl ndvantages to tho entire state
of Nebraska. Theso will como In
tho form of branch linos acting art
now feeders, which the expanding
interests of tho state now so much
reaulrc.
Whllo tho Union Pacific has main
tained a high grade of efficiency In
lis physical property and service in
this state, it has not, btrcauso of Its
subserviency to tho Southern Pa
cific,, bcqn freo to doveloji Uh lines
Jn Nebraska, as It should now as
a soparnte'nnd Indppondent orgnnl-
ratlon. It has onjoyed dlstlnption
as, tho groat Nebraska railroad,
when as n mattor of fact tho Burr
llugton has moro than double Its
in II cage in this state and tho North
western has within a few "miles of
as "much.
Nebraska's prodigious develop
ment .Is calling loudly for Just such
results as spim to havo been con
tingent upon tho situation crentcd
by this decision. Tho benefits ac
cruing wilt, of course, bo mutual to
the railroad and tho atato and, with
tho boBt of feeling existing between
them, tho futuro appears very prom
ising. Peace and Armaments.
Secretary Meyer, In pleading' for a
strong navy, Is well within tho fncts
of record when ho assorts that lim
itations upon armament have not ad
vanced tho cause of peaco. It would
be wlso to start upon this propaganda
of world peaco from that point of
viow, for It would savo time other
wise epont on sophistical arguments.
It Is of striking Interest that tho
secretaries of our navy and army, as
well as tho officials of other govern
ments ciiargqd with the grave re
sponsibility of maintaining their na
tion's defenses, though thoy may bo
ardent advocates of poace, Invariably
tako tho view, which Mr. Moyor
urges, that tho best way to avoid war
and Irisuro' peaco is to bo proparod to
fight. Across tho Dominion Canada's
promior Is urging tho samo thing,
These men leave tho disarmament
policy to bo preached by thosb with
out snob official responsibilities.
It was not economy nor real peace
promotion for tho democratic house
to defeat tho two battleship bill; It
vob a false play to tho political gal
leries. Socrotary Moyor Insists upon
thrco battleships a yeur to hold this
nation In' tho front' rank of the pow
crs at sea. Wtf have let our mer
chant marine dotorlorato at a cost
wo could not afford; we' cortalnly
cannot afford to woakon our naval

.world powers porslst in strengthening
theirs.
. Boys' Corn Clubs.
- Promoting tho corn club plan

the (doifble valuo .of ' Increasing the
quality nnd quantity of Nebraska's
com production' ahd 'attracting boys
to tho farm. .Vor that r'paion this

growth of corn expositions, good
seed campaigns and tho university's
fOHterlug care, It has begun to yield
excellent frultngo, as tho specimens

all -experiments mado, most of Nc

than anything yet reallrcd. Tho sys

boys Is a valid Incentive to their in- i
dustry, which Hhould begin to havo
a vory vital Influence upon some of
tho older tllloro of tho soil.
Canada and the Mother Country.
Premier, Borden's speech In the
Canadian House of Commons de
manding three new warships at a to
tal cost of 135,000,000 to strengthen
tho mother country's' armament In
view of Germany's aggressive cam
paign, breathes loyalty to Hnglafid,
but nt the enmo time- the-unmistakable-
spirit jut ultimate independence
for Canada. Thus fur Mr. Borden
has not adopted tho candor of former
Premier Laurler, but that ho has sep
aration in mind would seem no
longer subject to doubt.
Those Bhlps. tho premier Bays, are
to form part of tho British navy, yot
he affirms that with the "now order
of things Canada would have a volco)
in foreign affairs." Ab If that were!
not explicit enough, he adds:
When Great Britain no longer assume
sole responsibility for defense upon the
high seas, it can no longer undertake to
assume eole responsibility for the control
of the foreign policy
And so the mother country, Im
pressed by her great province's grow
ing Importance, has conceded' the
right of Canada to send a minister to
London to bo consulted In, any plan
looking to a-chango of 'foreign policy,
with the promise that no such change

Some Old World Events that Are Making History.
Und of the Ilnlknn War.
Just two months ago the Montenegrin
army crossed the Turkish border and
fired the first shot of the JJalkan war
on tho Ottoman government. Two weeka
later the armies of Bulgaria, Pervla nnd
Greoco moved against the ancient enemy
oil tho plana agreed upon by the allies.
In barely six weeks tho Turks have been
all but awept out of Europe, a dreaded
military force utterly demoralized, and
tho Ottoman government forced to aue
for peace, flnlonlgl, Monastlr, Uskub,
llhodosto and Uuraszd have fallen to
the victors. Tho Turkish garrisons of
Adrlanoplo and Scutari alone hoM out
against the allies In their victorious
sweep of the country up to tho gates
of Constantinople. A wonderful achieve
ment of arms which astonished the
wvrid and slgnnllied the birth of a
powerful confederation In the near cast.
Victors and vanquished, having agreed
to an armistice, the acene of action now
ahlft from tho sword to tho pen, from
battle' field! to London, where represen
tative of the warring powers are, to
meet on tho fateful Friday, December 13,
to nrrange terms of peace. Meanwhile
thero Is an Abundance of war talk bo
tween Vienna and St Petersburg. Ger
many through Its irimo minister served
notice on all concerned tliat the cmplro
would inisheath the sword If necessary
In defense of Austria. Ilussla responds
that It is not scared and contlnuea mo
bilizing. Servla occupied Durazzo on the
Adriatic. Austria was aald to Uiavo for
bidden this action on pain of war. Ser
vln. called the bluff. For tho present
war talk Is merely war talk. What may
happen In the near future depends on
the action of the peace commissioners
In London.
Cot of n. MIk War,
The atx big powers of the old world
are divided Into two . warlike campe
the Triple Alliance, consisting of Ger
many, Austro-Hunsary and Italy, and
the Triple Entente composed of Great
Britain. Ttussla and France, (suppose,
as a result of Austria's dispute with
oervia aitout an .vanatic port.) a war
results, llusala will defend Bervla. sup.
ported by ,the Ballmli atates. Germany
and Italy undoubtedly will bock Austria
to the limit. That Is the essence of the
Alliance. Will Great Britain and1 France
remain Idle spectators while their. B,us
slan ally bears the burden of the atrug
gle? Hardly. But the probability of such
it titanic war Is remote, for the very
good reason that Us cost In money Hlono
woum challenge national bankruptcy. M,
Jules Bochc, former minister of com
merce of France, contributes to the Gau
lols of Pails some interesting calcula
tions on that point. Taking as a basis
the cost to, France of the war of 1870
he flgurea the cost of tho six power
armies fn the field at G,i(,000,0( a
month for maintenance alone, with
out taking Into account other expenses,
"And what would he the Internal Con
dition of tho warring nations?" he nska,
"The belligerent nations would be atnick

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. C.-To the 'Editor
of The Ilee. I read' on Monday, tlje Jd
Inst., In an Oiimtiu dally pajicri an article
on a now tuberculosis cure that they said
was "of tremendous Importance" aa a
"Christmas glf,t to suffering-humanity."
It la to be regretted that un Omaha news,
paper of standing should buve .been
caught by any such u tuberculosis fako
remedy advertisement. It would bo in
teresting to know how many thousand
dollars "Special Staff Shepherd" received
for playing this game, whereby Dr. Fried
man could mate a million dollars or more
before ho could bo exposed, I have care
fully reviewed the weekly Issues for the
last alx months of the following named
medical Journals, ' tho best In Germany,
the best In the world., rind find nowhere
any referertco to any auch a man, or any
experiments or 'discoveries: Berliner
Kllnl'che Wbcheiitchrift. Munchener
Mediziiilsche ' Wi)chenachrlft. Deutsche

Issues pf tho London lancet. The British

American Medical Association, The New

cal and Surgical Journal, The New York
Medical Record. These Journals keep
In touch with and publish weekly the
doings In medical circles In every part of
the world, and would have known of such
experiments ami discoveries If they had
existed.
The story on the face of It shows It to
be a fake advertisement, for It Is well
known that every tubercular germ In tlie
patient's body may be destroyed with no
harm to the patient, but thla does not
cure the condition of a chemically pois
oned blood stream, tlfut paved the way
for the development of the germ, for
the multitudinous development of the
germ s u, result and not primary
cause. Gorma of tuberculosis can be found
In very many people who are lit, perfect

Liberal Alllra on Cnnrd.
The liberal party allies In the British
Parliament have been tauglit a salutary
leason In watchfulness by the snap divi
sion on the financial clause of the home
rule scored by the Tories three w'ecks ago..
While the rcatllt simmered down to ton
days' delay. It served to arouse the min
isterial forces to a deeper comprehenalon
of the danger of lax attendance. Be
sides the home rule bill, the party pro.
gram calls for disestablishment of tho
Welsh church, electoral reform on the
one-man-onr(-vote principle, some vital
amendmsnts) to the worklngman'a pen
sion law "and lanb reform. To carry
through these "measures, assuming that
the House of Lorda will reject each of
them twice, requlrea their passage at the
present 'session, in order that the houss
may repass them within the two-year
limit. The life of the present Parliament
has a llttlo over three years to run,' pro
vided it Is not overthrown In the mean
time. Every enforced delay which the
opposition can' bring about to that extent
diminishes the chances of putting the
program Into law. Particularly energetic
mcosurea .have been adopted to Insure
regular attendance of every one of eighty
members of the Irish party. Leader John
Itedmond ha taken personal charge of
his group and put a crimp on the free
nnd easy methods of aome of his follow
ing. In the future "no work, no pay"
la to be tho rule. Every member of the
party Is now obliged to report himself
dally to the whips, except In case of
illness, when medical certificates are de
manded. Mr. Redmond also Insists that
his followers must no longer be mtre
voting machines lounging in the bars nnd
smoking rooms waiting for the sound of
tho division bell. They must be In their
places In the chamber listening to the
debates when they are not actually tak
ing part In them.

Foreign Minister Sazonoff recenty pro
tested against Imp.utlng to Ttussla base
deslgna on Mongolia, rtussia's intentions
toward that, section of Northern Chlnu
were patriotic and humane. The idea if
Russia wanting a section of nearby ter
ritory was positively Insulting, he said.
Ilussla merely acted as arbitrator be
tween rival factlona of Mongols with the
object of preventing a declaration of
Mongolian independence. On being asked
whether a protectorate would be estab
llshed by Russia over Mongollat Mr.
Bazonoff replied that such was not Rus
sia's intention, as it had no desire to take
over uilmlnlstratlve dutiea. The Mongols
line suggested thot Instructors might be
supplied by Russia for the army which
thqy wished to organize. At present,
however, It did not appear that any
nucleus existed round which an army
could be created: but If a request weie
made for Russian military Instructors
later on, the Russian government would
probably send them. A Chinese resident
would be established at some town
where a Russian consular officer was
stationed, possibly Urga. He doubted,
however, whether tho suzerainty of
China would still be recognized by the
Mongols If the central government ut
Peking were to assume a republican
form; and Russia woultt have to recog
nize Mongolian Independence If It worn
declared. These lofty professions. It may
be observed, are distinctly Russlanesque.

Germs cannot develop In a healthy
blood stream. Germs develop only where
there Is unlmpared energy of the vital
forces. Nature is always constructive and
never destructive, when allowed to func
tion In a normal nianner. What we eat
and drink, and lraw we dress, work,
breathe, think and live, are conditions
that make and keep us strong and well,
or may bo our undoing by damaging the
hlood stream and electrical energy, and
thereby lay the foundation for and be
come the primal cause of, not only tuber-
reulosls, but more than W per cent of ail
diseases. There cannot be any such a
vaunted discovery for the cure of tuber
culosis except as an adjunct to "living
tlie life" in harmony with nature's best
expression of the law, that obedience to
natural law la the condition of well
being. DR. L. A. MBRRIAM.

WANING OF THE CRESCENT.
Herman Sehauffauer in Harper's Weekly.
With sword and standard shriven
War from the mountain broke;
The mitrailleuses rpoke,
The hills by flame, atood riven,
The Tillages were smoke.
The old, half-blind eagles
That swam athwart the sun ,
Marked down red valley run
Black Slaughter's unleashed beagles
Hind, shepherd, myrmidon.
Along the white roads ranging.
They saw etrango serpents writhe
Like grain beneath the acytlie,
Steel-ridged battalions changrng
To musket-laughter blithe.
The saw the fires Incessant
Like scarlet banners toss
Pawns of Imperial loss
. Fanged star and livid crescent
Ride out against the cross.
Like monks the peaks stood leaning
Over the roar and hum.
Time spake: "The hour Is come!"
Hla thin voice, intervening.
Struck all the nations dumb.
In Thrace the paths of pillage
Ran like a sentence red; '
The wolf waa strangely fed
Within the ahattered Milage
And howled above the dead.
Afar with turrets gleaming
By the swart Bosphorua,
Lean, old, yet valorous
Stamboul, in evil dreaming,
Lay still and ominous.
O'er the black town and water ,
O'er dome and minaret.
Banned by the planet's threat.
And dark with ancient slaughter.
The horned moon waned and set.
